    No real details in the article, if you were looking for more info.

    A suspect who was in custody also was shot

    I'm guessing they don't mean they were shot after being taken into custody, but that's how it reads.

    West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey initially said the troops had died, but he later walked that statement back

    Hell of a recovery.

    West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey had earlier said two members of the West Virginia National Guard were killed, but walked back his assertion less than half an hour later.

    Having no context, I feel bad for those shot.

    But, frankly, these sorts of events are going to increase and I 100% believe they should. Those in power need to fear for their lives and those trying to militarily support them need to question their allegiance.

    Hopefully no innocent people have been harmed.


    Also, if this is anything like the rest of 2025? We are all going to be having panic attacks over this being the moment that is used to justify nation wide martial law (not that they need justification...). But instead it is going to be some gomer with a sig shooting off their foot and then national guard managed to shoot each other while returning fire.

    I am from a fishing village in Alaska. It's the coast guard that saves people from sinking ships. Pretty fucking useful. Plus the national guard does a lot of disaster relief.

    Yeah well... it's not.

    Also, you seem to forget fire fighters assist in 'riot' control

    actual firefighter here. no we do not assist in riot control. ive not seen it in any recent memory in my 20 years in. anecdotal though this evidence is.

    point being; a few good cohorts doing life safety will happen regardless of military existence. let’s support life saving.

    I agree for the most part. But the fact is fire hoses being used on civil rights protesters is almost an iconic image
