Armed "Boogaloos" defy Gloucester County gun control, police don't show

Armed "Boogaloo Boys" led by Mike Dunn rallied Saturday night at the Thomas Calhoun Walker Education Center in Gloucester County, Virginia, where last month four men carried handguns to the local school board meeting and were subsequently arrested by the sheriff's department.

Police did not interfere or even show up Saturday.

"To the officers that are watching this, you violated the Constitution of the United States. Some day you will answer for these violations, if not before man, you will answer to it before God," Mike Dunn says at his first rally in over two years.

"You disgust us. You are not our brothers," he tells police. "You have no right to fly our flag. You have no right to be an American. You are tories, redcoats, and not patriots."

In addition to risking the same felony charges faced by their friends for carrying firearms at the school board, the Boogaloos held an armed prayer ceremony to criticize the Virginia law (in some cases) making it a misdemeanor to carry a firearm in a house of worship.

A handful of apparently local counter-protesters showed up to criticize the Boogaloos: "Everybody likes our Second Amendment but get off of our school property with it."

These idiots are not fighting off some foreign country like in 1776. They are terrorizing their fellow Americans.
