Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Where did you see armed patrols?
The entire area has lost power and is experiencing record high temps. Going around to make sure people are ok seems like the right response.

Wait, so you're angry that the National Guard is responding to a fully announced and acknowledged State of Emergency, which is what the National Guard is specifically around to do? That's like getting mad at the Coast Guard for checking the status of vessels in bad weather!
And armed patrols? It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the article that they were carrying arms. And even if they did, what's the big deal? It's the NATIONAL GUARD, not some militia group doing house visits to win over the public so they can take over the government. Local law enforcement is armed at all times, so why can't the National Guard be armed while doing the same exact thing?
Can we stop being silly now? Please?

Being Silly?
Does FEMA arm it's ranks?
Does the Red Cross also arm it's humanitarian
ranks?
Folks fail to see the bigger picture,and stagger blindly
as the strings are pulled.

I'm armed. Several members of my family have concealed carry permits. Does that make us conspiracy theorists? No. Does that make us dangerous to society? No.
The Red Cross doesn't need to arm itself because it is almost always partnered with a military organization or, guess what, the National Guard. FEMA and the National Guard work together all the time.
You certainly picked the weakest topic ever to post a conspiracy theory about. Sheesh. What's next? Zombie sheep in New Zealand? Oh wait, that's been done...

I don't count on the Red Cross to stop the violence and looting that almost always accompanies a disaster. That's the National Guard's job. It's like if you call 911, the paramedics and firemen who show up won't be armed, but the police will. How is this different?

I'm going on 52 yrs old and as far as I can remember the NG has shown up in all catastrophes with weapons. Mostly to aid but to secure areas from vandalism and to protect innocent law abiding citizens.
