    It would be WILD if these yokels were just straight up murdered by the people on the base. They move there to get away from violence and it turns out, the military didn’t like them much.

    One can dream, right?

      It would be unwise to do it on-base. It’d be safer to follow them out and do it nearby, making it look like crossfire in a local criminal beef.

      Not that I would advocate such a thing.

      What?

      The military isn’t going to execute them.

      But in addition to the shit we hear about, their presence on the base is likely causing a lot of bullshit in the day to day life of military members, and eventually we might see a uniformed protest. If it does come to that, it won’t start slow like a civilian protest. One day so many people will just show up that the Military Police literally can’t arrest them all.

      And MPs won’t escalate force like civvie cops, because every MP is painfully aware how out numbered they are, and are likely even more fed up than the tank and file.

      I’m sorry if my initial comment gave you the wrong impression.
