To repeat my previous analysis, they had fun getting rid of ammo. It does not represent valuable trigger time at the range.
You are correct. I missed it. Apologies. The blog I dragged it from is usually first on scene.
But I disagree that what's going on there is not "valuable". I didn't grow up with guns so I have a keen memory of the mental processes involved in going from "which end do I hold it from" to competent shooter, probably the most important of which is the first 100 shots that desensitise you to noise and recoil.
These guys are obviously not going to be launching a coup or seizing a military base, but they're dangerous enough to pull up at a cafe you happen to having lunch at, swing open the van door and get a 5% hit rate at ten yards, which from three mags still equates to four or so hits. More than enough to kill you.
Time will tell whether these people are just particularly dedicated larpers or whether they're actual killers. But perpetually underestimating them is poor strategy.
I am an instructor for Project Appleseed. Considering all the work we do with trigger work, breathing, sight alignment/picture, MOA, natural position of aim, and practice--what was shown in the video is a very fun time getting rid of ammo, and nothing resembling learning.
But you're right--at ten paces spray and pray is sufficient.
I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all the same. They love being dominated.

RE: USA Civil Unrest (Esp California) Thread
First DC inauguration Antifa rioter sentenced last week. He got a felony conviction and a 36-month sentence, 32 months suspended because he pleaded guilty and apologized. He was immediately taken into custody and is now in the concrete closet serving his sentence. Most of the other 200 rioters who are awaiting trial on the same charges have refused plea deals because they're trying to give the government a hard time over their prosecution. Hopefully, because of that, most of them will end up having to serve the entire 36-months of their sentences. That's some hard time.
Quote:A 31-year-old Tampa man became the first protester arrested during the Jan. 20 inauguration of President Trump to receive a jail sentence Friday when he was ordered to serve four months.
Dane Powell asked Judge Lynn Leibovitz for “leniency” as he stood next to his attorneys in the crowded courtroom and awaited his sentence.
“I stand before you today asking for forgiveness for anyone who was scared, hurt or felt threatened by me on that day,” Powell said in D.C. Superior Court, his voice choking with emotion.
The rioting during President Trump’s inauguration festivities lasted about 30 minutes. Powell and other rioters traveled 16 city blocks, prosecutors said. Six police officers were injured, and vehicles and store windows experienced tens of thousands of dollars of damage.
Authorities said 234 people were arrested and accused of rioting. Of those, 198 cases are pending.

In April, Powell pleaded guilty to assault on a police officer and inciting a riot, both felonies. Fifteen other people have pleaded to misdemeanor charges; 20 cases were dismissed.
During Friday’s sentencing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Kerkhoff played a 10-minute compilation video in which she identified Powell throwing rocks and bricks at police and shattering store windows. Powell was dressed in black and his face was covered, but Kerkhoff identified him because his eyes were exposed, he was wearing brown boots and carrying a black flag.
“He initiated violence,” Kerkhoff said. “He came to the District of Columbia to engage in violence by hiding his face, throwing rocks and running. He’s a violent coward.”
Kerkhoff said Powell was seen in Logan Circle the day before the inauguration carrying gas masks, a hammer and the same flag that was seen in the video.
“He was throwing rocks and bricks at windows where people, customers and children were inside. He charged the police line with bricks,” she said. “Mr. Powell is among the most violent” of the defendants, she added.
Powell’s attorney Ashley Jones said her client, who spent nine years in the Army, has spent his life protesting and demonstrating for peace in an effort “to create a world where everyone is treated with humanity.”
Jones said Powell did not travel to Washington to participate in violence, but to protest because he “was worried about the direction of this country.”
Jones blamed the police for some of the violence, saying the protesters were at times responding to the officers. “Mr. Powell’s motivation was to protest the inauguration. And during that protest he got carried away.”
Kerkhoff said one police officer was knocked unconscious after he was struck with a heavy rock or brick. Kerkhoff conceded, however, there is no evidence that Powell threw the rock that struck the officer.
Giving Powell credit for pleading early in the case, Kerkhoff asked the judge to sentence Powell to six months in jail.
Security was heightened in the courtroom where supporters of Powell and supporters of police officers took up all 50 seats and spilled over into another 20 seats in a second courtroom. Two U.S. marshals descended on one person in the courtroom who they observed taking pictures in the courthouse, they said, which is prohibited except during weddings and other similar occasions. The marshals ordered the man to delete the photos.
Leibovitz, who is overseeing the rioting cases, praised Powell for quickly agreeing to a plea deal, which she said factored into her sentence. Leibovitz also noted that it was unclear if any of the rocks Powell threw struck or injured the police officers. But she also criticized his violent actions.
“He separated himself from others and deliberately destroyed property,” the judge said. “He deliberately tried to hurt people, although he did not personally succeed.” Leibovitz also sentenced Powell to two years of supervised probation.
The trials for others charged in the protests are scheduled to begin later this year and will run through 2018.
Powell’s attorney requested he be allowed to report to jail in August so he could finish his college classes later this month. Leibovitz denied the request and ordered Powell to jail immediately. One Powell supporter cried out in the overflow courtroom.

Believing a Violent Leftist could ever genuinely-admit to personal responsibility, have any empathy for those they've hurt, or had learnt their lesson...

Of course it's not genuine, but the primary benefit of tearful public remorse regarding a crime is in dissuading others from doing the same, not in reforming the criminal.
What makes this laughable is the base sentence (36 months), which would have been pathetic even if served in full. If it had been 20 years for domestic terrorism, with 18 years suspended because of public remorse, you bet that it would have the desired cowing effect on both the defendant and all the bystanders.
As always, it's the PR feel of the sentence that counts.

Hopefully, if enough of these punks get hard sentences handed down to them, the wannabee fence sitters will think twice about joining in the "fun" next time a riot goes down. The more the Left learns that actions have consequences, the more we win. They can be cowed, we just need to sack up and punish their childish ways, just like you spank a bratty child to correct them.

RE: USA Civil Unrest (Esp California) Thread
I saw that BAMN leader Yvette Felarca was arrested last week and charged with a felony for the altercation between Antifa and those white nationalists last year. The thing is, she is responsible for almost getting several of her compatriots killed, if I understand correctly. She started the fight between the two protest groups, and when the Antifa woosies started getting their butts kicked, they pulled out knives. The right-wingers then took several of the knives away from them and stabbed the Antifa who had been wielding them. Several of the Antifa almost bled out before they got to the hospital. It's nice to see her paying the consequences for her behavior, but she was such an inept leader in some ways it would have been better to leave her in charge.

Quote:California secession campaign can start gathering signatures
The Associated Press
July 25, 2017 6:19 PM
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
A group that wants California to secede from the United States can start collecting signatures for its ballot initiative.
The state attorney general issued an official ballot measure title and summary Tuesday. The campaign can now start gathering the more than 585,000 signatures it will need to qualify for the 2018 ballot.
The initiative would form a commission to recommend avenues for California to pursue its independence and delete part of the state constitution that says it is an inseparable part of the U.S. The measure would also instruct the governor and California congressional delegation to negotiate more autonomy for the state.
This is the second attempt to put a so-called Calexit measure on the 2018 ballot. An earlier attempt was withdrawn in April.
This must be music to Trump's ears. Watch these pathetic chumps reveal their impotence by getting a pitiful amount of signatures, or better, getting enough to push this issue to the front page of every paper in the world and reveal what a petulant pack of whining little bitches they are.
In Texas v. White, the United States Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession unconstitutional, while commenting that revolution or consent of the States could lead to a successful secession.
What's to stop them from gathering the signatures and making it all the way to the Superbowl of secession attempts, Revolution, unimpeded?
I know they won't win a revolution for sure but the damn attempt and Commiefornia getting that notion would be annoying as shit to go through.
I doubt it. Remember that your lower level, millenial leftist isn't good at critical thinking. They're largely like trained dogs who emote in response to programmed cues like the word "racism" and "socialism". Easy_C
