But it's tacticool and as long as it looks tacticool it's gotta work right?All their gear still looks fake as shit. No secondary, no easily accessible mag pouches, no eye protection or a gas mask. If I had to guess, their plate carriers are empty (missing the actual heavy armor plating) and their pouches are full of shitty weed and vegan snacks.
Also skinny jeans? Half them niggas can't even crouch behind cover without busting a seam. I'd feel very comfortable going up against the antifa virgin squad with just a paintball gun and harsh language.

Even the airsoft LARPers get it right, though. Although they have an autistic level of attention to details, so that's something.But it's tacticool and as long as it looks tacticool it's gotta work right?
This whole thing just reminds me of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail bit with the Anarcho-Syndicalist commune the peasants formed. What did they all do upon priding themselves on the fact they have no Lord? Do buttfuck nothing but act uppity and pretentious while wallowing around in the mud with their thumbs up their asses.
These people have pulled off the imitation of that so flawlessly it's fucking unreal
"Of course we have enough food for our commie revolution. But if you have any info about growing food please tell us, we are starving!"They claim to have "more food than they know what to do with".

Just turn off the water and electricity and they'll all be gone before the day is done.
At least these people had a concrete goal and it was ultimately accomplished. Also helps their goal wasn't utterly reprehensible.Something somewhat similar went down in Vancouver in the 1970s when some radical hippies decided it was not okay to build a highrise hotel & apartment development near the entrance to Stanley Park.

In 1971, the Four Seasons Hotel chain wanted to build a $40-million development on the Coal Harbour waterfront.
The plan would have housed 3,000 people in three 30-storey apartments, and included a 13-storey hotel and townhouses.
This Week in History: 1971 All Seasons Park springs up at the entrance to Stanley Park
The Non-Partisan Association majority on Vancouver city council approved it. But it stirred up a ton of opposition, because the development was at the entrance to Stanley Park.
The 14-acre site had been contentious for years. Originally a small strip of land with small shipyards and repair shops, it was purchased in the early ’60s by a New York developer that wanted to expand it by filling in some federally owned water lots.
In 1964, it was sold to Harbour Park Developments, a politically connected local group that unveiled a $55-million plan with 15 apartment towers, ranging from 15 to 31 storeys high. A photo of the architectural model for the site shows a high-rise forest that ends right at the Stanley Park causeway.

Critics charged that Harbour Park didn’t actually want to develop the land, it just wanted to get civic approval and then flip it. They also pointed out much of the project was on reclaimed land that was still owned by the feds and had been leased to the developers for a song.
The Harbour Park plan went nowhere, and the land languished until the Four Seasons project came along. Mayor Tom Campbell and his NPA colleagues on council liked it, but no one else seemed to.
COPE councillor Harry Rankin called for a plebiscite on the issue. A group of citizens filed a lawsuit. Vancouver Sun columnist Allan Fotheringham savaged the development.
On May 29, 1971, about 70 hippies took matters into their own hands. They ripped down a fence and stormed onto the site to plant some maple trees, then set up camp in tents and ramshackle huts.
They called it All Seasons Park, and their squat lasted for almost a year.

“No rules, no order, no plans,” Christy McCormick reported in the June 7, 1971 Vancouver Sun. “But somehow a park is taking shape on the site set aside for the Four Seasons apartment-hotel complex at the entrance to Stanley Park.”
A sympathetic backhoe owner helped the hippies dig a “rudimentary” canal and excavate an area for a pond. But most of the work was done by hand.
“At the peak of activity Saturday, more than 300 people were involved in the digging, transporting of earth, serving of food or just watching,” wrote McCormick. “The rock group Albatross played in the evening. Some workers stopped to dance.”
About 40 hippies set up tents and ramshackle huts on the site. Dinner was supplied by Cool-Aid, a youth shelter in Kitsilano, and a guy named Shark bought breakfast (porridge) and lunch (fruit) for the squatters with donations he got from sympathizers.
But a problem arose one day when Shark said they would only feed people who worked.
“We don’t want this place to be just a crash pad because it defeats our purpose,” Shark told The Sun’s Fred Cawsey. “We’re trying to build a park.”
It sparked dissention among people like Jim Murray, a 40-something who had been doing a lot of digging but went on a hunger strike to protest the no work-no food edict.
“We don’t think there should be rules like this, because we want this to be a park where people can come and do what they want,” said Murray. “If you make all sorts of rules, then this place will be just like the rest of the city.”

Shark backed down and the people continued to build their park. And the public continued to attack the Four Seasons proposal.
Bowing to public pressure, the combative Tom Campbell announced there would be a plebiscite on the Four Seasons development, but that only property owners could vote.
This was roundly denounced at a public meeting on June 21, when urban planner Setty Pendakur dubbed the project “the biggest abortion in the history of development in Canada.”
Pendakur said the development would create traffic chaos at the entrance to the park, and that council was trying to confuse people with its plebiscite, which stated the cost of buying the site was $9 million.
Ratepayers voted to reject the Four Seasons proposal, but only by 51 per cent. The plebiscite required 60 percent to be enforced, so the Four Seasons announced it was still going ahead.
The federal government effectively killed the proposal on Feb. 10, 1972 by withholding the transfer of a crucial water lot.
The city bought the entire site for $6.4 million in November 1973. It is now known as Devonian Harbour Park, but to people of a certain vintage, it will always be All Seasons Park.

Is that an AK pistol? do you think the ATF is going to file charges if they put the stock to their shoulder?
e: i'm surprised these dorks have more gear than isis and yet still look weak andclueless.
Source on those claims?Looks like the denizens of CHAZ are now bringing in fire extinguishers because the moreextremeexceptional factions are disobeying Warlord Raz and trying to (discretely) burn the precinct down, since they're pretty sure the cops'll be trying to retake it in the next couple of days.
They've even moved some of the tents up next to the building hoping said exceptional assholes won't try to burn it down with people sleeping in the hot zone (they of course will, since they're convinced Warlord Raz and the people defending the building are working with the police at this point and would rather see it and them burn than the cops get it back).
Have heard reports a few people have already tried and got scared off.
These are the worst looking “revolutionaries” I have ever seen. I mean, who the fuck wears a fannypack and expects to be taken seriously.Here's a closeup
