Video footage out of Ontario, California shows armed National Guard troops patrolling residential streets and practicing traffic control.
The video, which was shot this past weekend, features Guard troops marching in formation while chanting a military cadence. Troops also take turns to practice blocking traffic.
The troops, followed by a humvee, marched close to an elementary school and single family homes.I just watched it again and recognized the low block wall and the elementary school! It was right there where my sister and her husband live! OMG how frightening! one YouTube commenter responded, while others insisted the patrols were a routine occurrence.
However, another respondent insisted that the patrol was not normal.
During the last few seconds I got a quick glimpse of my sister and brother-in-laws house on Fuschia. Ave, wrote the commenter.That motorcycle was parked almost in front of their house. They told me they saw this procession going on from their front yard. They have lived in that house for 30 or so yrs and this is the first time they have seen this type of thing in their neighborhood. Might be a common thing to do their training someplace else but not in that area.
Concerns about the presence of troops on American streets have heightened since the announcement ofJade Helm, an upcoming nationwide military exercise which some fear is a dry run for martial law.
As wereported earlier this week, a National Guard drill based around dealing with civil unrest after a dirty bomb attack in Richmond, California featured role players acting as angry Americans yelling right-wing rhetoric.
Footage captured by a local shows Guard troops pushing irate citizens away with batons before one of the protest group states, Im a sovereign citizen, I refuse to recognize you guys, I refuse to recognize you.
Disturbing videoout of Fort Lauderdale, Florida last month also showed military and law enforcement practicing the internment of citizens during martial-law style training.
LOL. I'm guessing your fat arse has never done PT, let alone in formation on the streets surrounding the local Armory.
Back in 1985, my unit often trained running down the country roads of Nebraska.
Later on I did PT with a unit that would run down and do PT along the bicycle path at the beach in Long Beach.
S.O.P. Comrade Priss.
{edit} 'course some of the Old Timers in Long Beach did have some good stories about Watts, and how nothing adjusts the attitude of the natives like when a 50cal rolls up into their burning neighborhood.
That what gots ya worked up -- Memories of how well 1968 didn't work the last time? FAIL and FU, Comrade.

Big difference from the streets of a major city.
Enjoy your police state martial law, jagoff.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
Long Beach is the second largest city in the Greater Los Angeles Area (after Los Angeles) and a principal city of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Sod off, you bloody wanker.
