I know exactly how many knees I’ve hit, says Eden, who completed his service in the Israel Defense Forces as a sniper in its Golani infantry brigade six months ago. For much of the time, he was stationed along the border with the Gaza Strip. His assignment: to repel Palestinian demonstrators who approached the fence.
“I kept the casing of every round I fired,” he says. “I have them in my room. So I don’t have to make an estimate – I know: 52 definite hits.”
But there are also “non-definite” hits, right?
“There were incidents when the bullet didn’t stop and also hit the knee of someone behind [the one I aimed at]. Those are mistakes that happen.”
Is 52 a lot?
“I haven’t really thought about it. It’s not hundreds of liquidations like in the movie ‘American Sniper’: We’re talking about knees. I’m not making light of it, I shot a human being, but still ...”
. . .
Shedding light on this very recent slice of history entails talking to snipers: After all, they were the dominant and most significant force in suppressing the demonstrations at the fence. Their targets ranged from young Palestinians who were trying to infiltrate into Israel or who threw Molotov cocktails at soldiers, to prominent, unarmed protesters who were considered to be major inciters. Both categories drew the same response: Live ammunition fired at the legs.
There's more at the link.
Looking at the violent demonstrations on TV, I suspect a few perforated kneecaps could be classified as a relatively mild response. If the demonstrators complain that it hurts, we could always suggest that they put an ICE pack on it . . .

I don't think anyone should intervene. That old saw "never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake". These are leftist areas. Let the people who empathise with the riots get the benefit of their choice. Let them have to deal with their ignorance. I would NOT let the rioters move to conservative areas. I am still waiting for fedgov swamp to start the RICO arrest....... Kill the money suppliers and this stuff will stop. Not holding my breathe here.....
First: These are people who think violence is the answer against the only country that dropped nuclear weapons on another. Historically, there is no line we won't cross.
Second: The pattern certainly seems to suggest someone very much wants to see the US tear itself apart, but it could very well unite us.
Whatever you think about the Spanish Inquisition, it was started to root out Muslims who swore they were Christian, but were not. And in many cases they would grab and sell infidels, usually girls, to Muslims outside of Spain. We are on the path to an Inquisition. The Inquisition helped make the Reconquista a success.
“I threw a brick at you and you responded, you are a bad person.” This is the hallmark of evil people.
70% or more are tired of this nonsense. We are ready for the gloves to come off. We are ready to escalate. Normally, I don’t believe in doing what the enemy wants. A lot of stupid people came to the US expecting the land of milk and honey and endless handouts. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Trump being elected was the hint to leave. Support is being given to those self-deporting. The stupid will be punished.
I don’t know that it would be a majority, but a sizable percentage would support Trump acting like Genghis Khan. That should scare everyone. Because we haven’t even begun to escalate.
Didn't Jeff Cooper advocate for this riot control technique as well?
if they want to burn their city down, let them.
but don't let them spread out to other areas.
find out who is dropping off the skids/pallets of bricks. pressure them to find out who paid for the bricks. then RICO their asses until they broke and unable to do anything.
and forget shooting them in the leg bullshit.
head shots only and it will stop real quick.
hard to get anyone to do stupid shit if it means they might end up dead. funny how that works ?
Don't bother trying to deport out of sanctuary cities and states. Audit their government benefits to make sure none are going to illegals and cut their funds if it is found that they are providing funds to illegals (which we know they are). Then, round up all of the illegals that the Biden administration shipped into red areas and relocate them to the sanctuary cities and states since the judges are blocking deportations.
Headshots make martyrs.
Kneecapping makes cripples.
Everyone is hoping for a martyr to further the cause.
No one wants to market a limp. It's not a marketable injury like a scarred face.
Don't forget that all this outrage runs on feels not facts.
Am I the only paranoid person watching train engine #1776 pull cars loaded with AFV's into DC for a party this weekend and wondering WTF?
I'd like to say "yes" but there are plenty of nutters on the net these days. It happens that the 250th anniversary of the Army is this year so there is going to be a big old parade and what not. It's been planned for years (it's not like they didn't know the anniversary was coming up).
Don't forget there will also be tanks and artillery and pretty much everything the Army has.
There is an implement in the farming community for this. A manure cannon. I shoots a stream of animal manure mixed with water a great distance. A battery of these brought in behind and to one side of the protest will disperse it quickly and the rioters will be easy to find. " But the untreated sewage!!" It is merely a virtual homeless camp.
To borrow from tiredWeasel,
"Headshots make martyrs.
Kneecapping makes cripples."
Anyone showing up at an El Lay emergency room with a blown off kneecap should be barred from government handouts for life. Every year, high school football players get knee injuries that can knock them out of football for life, or ruin their chances for the scholarship to their preferred college. Or have problems with their injury the rest of their lives. Use medicaid for American citizens, not these protesters.
When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities Will Explode In Violence
By Matt Bracken
A short essay he wrote back in 2012.
It’s a free read on many websites.
Perhaps the host might even post it for those that won’t search it out.

Yes, find out who paid for the bricks and go after them (kneecapping works there too).
You mean the combined Flag Day and US Army 250th birthday parade that is planned? I’m sure someone will try something stupid. That’s what the NoKings group is probably hoping for.
TXRed
AFVs?
The citizens of LA deserve what they voted for. The national government cannot afford to let it look like the rioters are in control. Examples will be made. You know all those snowflakes we have today who break down in tears when somebody yells at them? Imagine how our peers will feel when the LEOs shoot rioters because they felt threatened and overwhelmed and snowflaked out in response to ongoing rioting and violence....3, 2, 1.
"If the demonstrators complain that it hurts, we could always suggest that they put an ICE pack on it . . ."
PETER!!! although I agree, this unexpected comment somehow caused iced tea to be sprayed on my keyboard. I needed to hear this today.
Since these "peaceful protesters" wish to get into detention facilities to bust the illegals out, why not give them their shot? Throw the outer doors open. Let em in. Then slam the doors shut. Let them stand around in the Sally port for a few days (a week at most) with no food or water til they become more cooperative.
Just a thought.

Better yet, have the states perform the audits and submit the results to fedgov.
Fedgov then asks/demands any revision or addendum be completed within, say thirty days. No revisions accepted after that date.
Fedgov then audits the state and compares to two.
Any discrepancies result in criminal charges.
Failure to complete and submit state audit by set date shall forthwith incur loss of federal monies to that state. There is no grace period.
Cops start shooting at demonstrators they will start shooting back...real fast. You form teams of large powerful officers. Identify the most vocal and culpable rioters and you GO GRAB THEM. Whisk them away, rinse and repeat. Eventually the instigators will all be in custody and the followers will go home. Then you charge, try and PERMANENTLY lock up the instigators. And you DO NOT use a normal court or judge because the left OWNS those. These people should be tried before a military tribunal.
Rocks, concrete and Molotov cocktails are all deadly weapons when thrown. That should justify return fire!
Going after the MONEY is the cure. Paid "protestors" and their paid for legal beagles don't work for free.
Useful idiots knee capped is like plucking leaves off the poison ivy plant. Don't really harm the plant and HARMS the person plucking.
However, it seems our country is in the middle of a Color Revolution from (cough cough 3 letter sorts) as that Money Supply seems impossible to cripple.
See DODGE, USAID and Rinos for details.
Historically revolutions were between two or more powerful families trying to get more of the Power Pie for themselves USING useful idiots to fight it out.
AKA Color Revolution against Trump?
Even Stalin and Hitler needed the consent of their people to rule. This color revolution is to discredit Trump and get Him to look like a dictator without support as so the New Dear Leader can be installed with the Media cheering it on.
We live in interesting times. I am hoping the June 14th "No Kings" protests across the country stuff is just leftist fantasy and fails.

So does shooting the in the ankles and elbows as well, a technique known in Northern Ireland as 'giving someone a six-pack'.
Embrace the magical power of "And".
You can shoot rioters in the knees, AND shoot supporters in the wallet.
Freeze Soros' and others' assets under RICO, and while he fights it in the courts, notice how things calm down until he dies, all while the terrorists are limping around Gitmo wondering what happened to their Cunning Plan.
Does anyone know where I can get some Israeli kneecap targets to practice with?
