North-bound Mil Convoy on 81 today?

imported post

So, as I was driving South on 81 today, and I noticed a couple of separate military convoys heading in the opposite direction.

Being that it's not their typical time to be doing convoys/vehicle training, I find myself thinking they were then headed East on 66 a while after they passed me.

My guess? Preparation for riot control. Consider yourself forewarned that some of the usual hijinx and chicanery may not go over so well Tuesday and Wednesday. May be best to keep a low profile.

Personally, I'm betting I'm wrong, as the world's not that exciting, but I figured I'd pass word along of this.

How is this OC related? Well...

A> Keep this in mind if you're near DC Tuesday.

B> I think some of the drivers might have been OCing.

Last time I was heading south on 81 though VA I passed a mil convoy that included a few Bradleys and HMMWVs on flatbeds. Didn't think nothin of it, seen it before many times.

This wasn't on flatbeds, and it's not their usual time to be running convoys.

As they say, "hope for the best, prepare for the worst"

1911, XD-40, Mossberg 500, M91/30.

Loaded mags, both internal and removable.

Plenty of food and water.

It's a good thing I mostly live off dry and canned goods, anyway. I don't have to prepare for anything! :lol:

Should McCain pull a rabbit out of his hat and win this election somehow -- and this is remotely possible if the now undecided step up and vote for him -- you can bet your last nickel there's going to be a lot of military vehicles rushing to major cities all over this country. It's really a shame this election has turned into such a racial issue.

Pfft, I can see victory riots and looting. It's not like it hasn't happened before.

I've heard multiple rumors of personnel staged for civil unrest post election. This is the second first hand account, so I'm betting there is something to it.

I've heard the rumors too Longwatch. They are still only rumors to me because I haven;t seen the buildups.

The local cops have contingency plans, but again they're always putting themselves on alert for one BS reason or the other. It gives the mouth ones something to brag about (and they have been).

Now what does perk my interest is that there are a LOT of groups in the city that shouldn't be there. They seem very political but don't have a particular party. They are spreading the word concerning voting machine fraud and fixed elections.

To top that off, the NAACP lost their court case to extend the voting hours in minority areas.

Still, no meat there but all the hoopla reminds me of the Rowdy Old days. The general feeling for the last year is the same as it was during the Viet Nam war and this election reminds me of the tactics used when Nixon moved into Cambodia.

Instigators actually started all the trouble at Kent State the Friday before by riding around breaking windows and raising hell. Everyone else joined in and pretty soon had a full blown Friday Night riot going. This was all BEFORE the real problems the next week.

I was going hunting Wednesday, but I think I'll stick around the burbs and see what happens.

If problems start small on Wednesday night, that gives them Thursday and Friday for the cops and National Guard to really get everybody PO'ed before the weekend.

And then again....it might just be quiet and peaceful!:lol:

Since the sky is falling, troops are mustering, and cats and dogs are starting to commuicate with each other on a more civil level than ever before, I'd best get to the grocery store this morning and stock up on 9 volt batteries and peanut butter.

Your sarcasm is duly noted.

The grocery store was very nearly out of milk and bread last night - could it be that people are just hungary?

Right, I try to do something nice around here, I try to generate some interesting discussion, maybe open up things for a little speculation, and this is what happens.

I'll keep that in mind, next time. :?
