Remember Kent State.

I'm to young to remember that incident LOL, but I read about it. yes, the NG fire to the crowd.

I bet you're right, I'd be surprised if they let Nat'l Guardsmen out in that area with live ammunition. It's a sad sad world we live in.

Only for Trump supporters. They will get the full combat load and an order to shoot in sight.

What is the likely directive on ammo and engagement? No mags in rifles. Are their pistols loaded? How high up the chain would an order have to be given to load up?

Literally “Going to war without a gun”. Very sad state of affairs. Probably won’t be the last DBS either

I just read on Fox News that NG in DC will not be armed, "at the request of Mayor Muriel Bowser".

So a city mayor is making NG decisions?

This reminds me of the unarmed forest rangers in another thread. Maybe the NG should also dial 911 when things get violent...

Send in social workers to replace the NG.
