So, recent events in NC, as progs/leftists/blm freaks/et al; tore down a civil war statue, Silent Sam at UNC Chapel Hill..

so, a pic is floating around of an officer who has this tat, and they left is going batt **** crazy as usual..

this is how opfor views us....

Chapel Hill’s police chief says he regrets that one of his officers has displayed a controversial tattoo on his forearm while on duty because of “negative interpretations of that tattoo.”

The tattoo closely resembles the logo of the Three Percenters, an organization with dozens of chapters nationwide that has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “antigovernment.” Three Percenters reject that term and describe their goal as “to utilize the fail-safes put in place by our founders to reign (sic) in an overreaching government and push back against tyranny.”

In his statement, Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue said the officer “expressed regret that his tattoo has been associated with groups that perpetuate hatred and violence.”


**** them all.....

A guy who's sporting an anti-gov tattoo who is sworn to enforce the laws that he is against and even better who gets a paycheck from the same government. Maybe his boss is mad because he's obviously a hipster doofus who'll join any group that is stupid enough to have him. Kind of like the Jarhead -if you can call a guy who works in supply a Jarhead- who joined a white supremacist group and was identified because of his WS tattoo. That ended his run with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. Or like a buddy of mine who got a tat on his arm that read "Eat the Apple, **** the Corps." I told him to get it where it couldn't be seen but he didn't and spent the rest of hitch cleaning toilets. Some people just thrive on being downtrodden idiots.
If you really believe that "We the People" are the government just try seceding from the Union or not paying WTP your taxes. There's a huge difference between protest and delusion.

I'm confused. Why do you think a Three Percenter would be opposed to the law or government?

That would be the case only if the government ceased to recognize the restrictions placed on it by the Constitution. We ain't there yet.

I don't understand what the big deal is. So... they are mad because he supports the Constitution of the United States? Wouldn't ANY American want to see this on a police officers arm? At least he would respect us a bit more when it comes to our Constitutional rights, as opposed to ignoring them for the benefit of some municipality.

Next thing they are going to do is go after anyone that has a Flag on their arm... oh wait... U.S. Flag... the other ones don't matter. Oh, and let's not forget the sin of having a cross tattooed on your arm.

PS. I changed my avatar in support of the officer. He has freedom of speech as much as you or I. His chief is an ******* for not supporting him with that very statement.

Chief is a politician, not an officer. I guarantee you he got his ass handed to him by the city higher-ups at some uppity dinner party. While my ink is decidedly more feminine than the officer's, I'd stand with him any day -- both to his right to have whatever ink he wants, and to his statement to the powers that be.

I think what the Chief means is his officer said "It's too bad there are so many stupid people out there that don't understand the meaning of my tattoo."

The bigger picture here is the ability of the left to gaslight all of America by turning benign things into evidence of hate, implicating regular people as perpetrators of the imaginary hate.

And they can mobilize mobs of useful idiots (both in real life and on twitter) to harass and destroy the careers of anyone they choose.

Thanks to these two things, these loathsome creatures have been able to open wide the Overton Window, to the point that they believe they are allowed to do anything they want, including and especially violence.

If/when the time comes when normal people get fed up enough to actually do something physical about it, they won't get a shred of mercy.

^^^ just had a fairly long conversation today with a friend about exactly this. Scary, but true imo. Question (serious one) is: is there any real solution?

I honestly just don’t understand the lack of inhibition, and it’s difficult to distinguish if some of these incidents are sensationalized in MSM or if it’s just happening more and more every week—when did it become a “yawn moment” reaction when we hear about (or see on net/TV), someone screaming at someone they didn’t agree with?

To me, ancestral credentials mean jack **** if you aren't willing to learn from their mistakes, follow their example or have the backbone to fight tyranny in any shape or form. There aren't many people that haven't "grandstanded" the memory of their forefathers. Talk is cheap, and if your actions (daily) don't reflect the words that come out of your mouth, your a hypocrite. More people need to start living by the words they supposedly believe in and stop bitching, whining, moaning and groaning with inaction.

Man, I don't know but I think you have try pretty hard to get offended over a group that takes its name from a historical statistic that likely wasn't even known at the time, let alone used as a name.
A group that honors the sacrifice that our forefathers made by vowing to defend our Constitution and American ideals.

I dont get the outrage.

Maybe the III% is a bit easier to tattoo than "I want a small, limited government; individual liberty and all that it entails, free from mob or tyrannical rule."

What happens if you're not allowed to serve in the military due to medical reasons? Are they no longer patriots because they want the same things those who fought the Revolution were aiming for? I see a lot of current vets who swore an oath to the Constitution during enlistment, but **** on it as a member of congress.

One cannot help not qualifying for medical reasons. That does not mean you are not a patriot.

You are rationalizing.

If one does his best to meet his military obligation that is all he can do. We both know many can and do not.

Anyone can find an excuse for not serving. A few have physical and or IQ reasons why they cannot. There is a big difference.

Jeez. It's a tattoo. People are going ape without knowing anything about the guy it's on. He might be a multi-tour military special forces guy who moved on to the police department as he continues to serve not only his country but his community. He might be a video game guy that can't step away from a donut shop to save his fat life but squeaked by and made the force.

I saw a guy with a tattoo the other day. It was just a big hand, flipping the bird. It didn't seem appropriate for the occasion and location so it would have been better off covered. But I'm sure that's "liberal approved" free speech.

Given the choice between the III tattoo guy and the bird tattoo guy and nothing else I know which one I'd let in the door.

Wow, what a dust-up over semantics.

Ok, Palmetto we get it. You are a proud descendant of Revolutionary War heroes. You've only mentioned it a few hundred times.

You can be a Patriot without ever having served.

The III%ers are a patriotic organization. I will say I am not one as I rarely join organized groups. I am indeed a member of SAR though. I have three ancestors who fought in that war, two with the Continental Army and one who served in a militia. Two died.

I also am somewhat related to John Adams though it's a rather distant branch of the family. Also Thomas Paine though that is a very loose relationship. Same tree but you have to really build the tree to get to him.

When I saw the III% tattoo it took it to mean that is what they were/are. Just as someone who gets a tattoo of the "Big Red 1" either is or was a member of the "First Infintry Division."

#3 and 4# are a duty and not my opinion.

#5 is a paraphrasing of medical facts

#6 like I said put "Son of III% and I will believe the tattoo just as I would a "Big Red 1." Say your are a III% and I know you are not.

#8 calling one's self a III% as you described what a III% stands for and it is an untrue statement.
