Horrible scene in New Mexico as a group calling themselves the New Mexico Civil Guard shot a man in an apparent attempt to stop the removal of a statue in Albuquerque.
Police have now taken several members of the extremist group into custody.

(111,255 posts)and cracked down heavily on the Beer Gut Brigade who appointed themselves to terrorize women and children at the border two years ago. I think that group's honcho is still in jail on weapons possession by a felon along with other charges.
Local news said tear gas and rubber bullets were used, not sure on whom.

MILITIA MUSTER CALL
NEW MEXICO
Volunteers of the unorganized Militia of New Mexico, as defined in NM statute 20-2-2 All able bodied citizens of the state... who are not less than 18 or are more than 45 years of age... (we do welcome those over 45 to attend and join) have been called to a muster in Curry County at Ned Houk Park on June 20th. Though we mention the NM militia statute we have no connection to either parties in the state or the governor.
The purpose of this muster is to summon, organize, and train the Militia of NM. The role of the Militia is to defend the Constitution of the United States, the laws, the property of and the citizens of NM and the United States of America and above all to serve our neighbors in any time of need. The Militia will protect, defend and serve the people whether that be from invasion, natural disaster, insurrection, inclement weather, or whatever events may arise that will require the Militia of NM to intervene.
Those who attend the muster must adhere to the following instructions:
Volunteers will need to provide their name or call sign, and contact info for further musters. The roster of volunteers will never be given to any town, municipality, county, state or federal agency.
Volunteers must be able to possess a firearm.
Volunteers should posess a working rifle, carbine, or shotgun, though rifles are preferred as they are more suited to Militia purposes.
Volunteers are encouraged to own a sidearm as well.
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.
Volunteers who do not possess a firearm or are over the age of 45 are heartily encouraged to attend.
Anyone attending the muster as a volunteer or in a support capacity will not wear any clothing or carry any signs containing political messages, and shall only carry, wear, or display the flag of the United States or New Mexico.
We encourage the citizens from across the state to attend this historic muster. We will form eleven companies that will constitute the New Mexico Civil Guard. The companies will be formed in the following NM counties: Dona Ana, Mckinley, Bernalillo, Santa Fe, Lea, Guadalupe, Taos, San Juan, Chaves, Eddy etc. All members will be mustered into the Company of the county of their current residence.
Registration will be from 1200 to 1300 hours regardless of weather. After registration is complete, there will be an address from the organizer of the muster. This Muster will be part of an historic event and will demonstrate the will and the resolve of the people of New Mexico to defend their state and the constitution, protect others, and serve their neighbors. The highest law we are to obey is this: Love thy neighbor as thyself. The Militia WILL SERVE THE PEOPLE, not a political agenda or party.
