Reading about the Waco, Texas biker shootout that just took place, I have to predict that conspiracy loon Alex Jones is going to claim that the shootout was a pre-Jade Helm 15 false-flag operation that serves an amorphous, poorly defined purpose.
I have to confess that I listened to a show about the "Jade Helm" conspiracy on late-night Sasquatch radio last week (hey, I work overnight shifts, DON'T JUDGE ME!!!)- plus, I was really curious to hear what a lunatic evangelist millennarian who believes in the existence of giants had to say about a not-unprecedented training exercise that has taken on the stature of an "end of freedom" Ammopocalypse. It was a farrago of Russian troops, Chinese operatives disguised as Mexicans (ermagherd, MARXICANS!!!), drug cartels, and sinister UN forces. Seriously, Texholes, nobody's going to grab your guns. Of course, when all of this asshole's predictions come to naught, he won't even acknowledge that he was, at best, wrong (Eh, why mince words? he's a dangerous liar).
I don't seek out content by Alex Jones, but I will monitor Right Wing Watch to see if Jonesy has proven me right. As far as Jade Helm goes, a jade helm would probably protect one better than a tinfoil hat, but it's got to be a hell of a lot more expensive.

I'm going to take the default Bouffant positions here. Armed American idiots banging away at each other at close range with modern, lethal weapons is one of the better outcomes we can hope for. And bless their hearts, some of these guys could actually hit what they were shooting at...
On the CBS "News" this morning they were saying that the police are worried about gangs now targeting the police for reprisal because many/all of the deaths may have been from the police shooting the fighting bikers. The cops knew about the meeting/riot beforehand, so had stationed cops/snipers in the area (supposedly, but again, this is normal ol' CBS morning "News" not your traditional nut).
Insert [Colbert-eating-popcorn.gif] here.
The police are ALWAYS worried about people targeting/fighting/ambushing them because that is what provides the justification for their favored spray & pray tactical doctrine.
And it worked out just fine on Tamir Rice...
Yeah, but they usually only talk about it in budget meetings with the City Council.
Regardless, it could get interesting if the probably-ridiculously-over-armed-with-surplus-military-gear Waco cops end up in a pitched battle on some shithole stretch of Texas wasteland (i.e. -- a Waco stripmall) against bands of bikers who are almost-equally-well-armed-with-legal-in-Texas-armaments. The cops probably still have the edge in overall firepower, but the bikers may be able to hold their own.
I bet somebody's pitching this as a TV show right... oh yeah, never mind, it's been done already.
They'd be equally matched in weapons - automatic rifles, hi-cap handguns and 12ga combat shotguns loaded out with all sorts of various custom loads - but the cops would have a HUGE advantage in communications, armored vehicles and air support. It would be a slaughter. If they're gonna have that fight, the bikers better start with Võ Nguyên Giáp's little book...
