My favorite part about this story is right at the end, when the National Guard found no evidence of the armory being looted or anything being taken from it they’re like “oh man, it’s a shame all those guns were lost in a tragic boating accident.”
All the guns were returned after being cleaned and repacked for the next time they are needed, lol.
@@gunlover1955 perfect!
I remember when we the people were the militia before they got complacent....
& B4 the organic act of 1871
@@sstrykert thank the Domestic Terrorists called "Police" for that one. Militarized the corrupt Pigs into a private State Mercenary force ordered to go to war with the Citizens at the State's discretion and order.
The book 'Ordinary Men' by Christopher Browning covers the psychology behind it all. George Washington even warned us all in extremely accurate detail in his farewell address of 1796.
@@zer0deaths862 you make somewhat valid points, lots of excops/feds quit & become whistleblowers & then get disappeared. Would free people put up with their truth tellers being vanished as such?🤔
& The leos take by some accounts up to 5 oaths(one of which is masonic by design), so is there really openness with their code of silence? When the people had the common law grand jury assembled, sheriffs & police were in small supply. Without said 4th(1st really) branch of governance, the leos gave themselves powers & bloated budgets not meant for them, thus resembling the swine you infer.
Btw, skyrim image, lol👍
There’s a reason we call it “the greatest generation”
My daddy was a WWII vet. He always worked the polls as a democrat and even when one of the big wheels in his own party tried to vote in a precinct where he no longer resided, daddy stood his ground and would not back down. I think the guy had already voted in his new precinct and was trying to vote twice. Greatest Generation!
No doubt that generation is the greatest. They also created the worst generation ever, the Boomers. The donothings, complainers, sit on their hands generation. Meh, whadda gonna do?
@amzuel420 you did all that?
@@proudofyourfreedom6274 1 bad apple spoils the bunch. Morals were taken out of schools and things will only get worse.
I don’t know about that
Many baby boomers fought in Vietnam when there was still a draft.
I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s when everything was about having fun.
I don’t know about today’s generation gay old generation
Bill White did not break into the armory to get the guns. By that time his mom had locked him up in his bedroom. My father in law and his dad got the guns. And they didn't break in. The caretaker unlocked the door. Afterwards, the guns were were cleaned and returned.
I would love to know more about this. I've always heard that Bill was the one that secured the armory. How did his mother lock him up?
@@jimmyclyde I'm also curious 🤔
The submachinegun you pictured was not a Tommygun, but a soviet PPSH-41, the "burp gun".
Athens is a beautiful city. I had no idea about the corruption and battle! Thanks for another awesome history lesson and video!
I love that area. Thanks for watching!
It's quiet. Let's keep it that way. I sell timberline barns for storage or something lol look me up and come by
@@GunsDontKillSSRIDoeswhats ssri?
Very Informative and enjoyable...my father was about 10 when the Battle of Athens took place. He was right there watching it all happen.
All it takes is for some good men to have had enough.
And politicians and media just keep on pushin
Those vets took their oath to heart
That’s my home. My great uncles were involved in this battle.
One of my uncles was there. ❤
Whats it like today?
Corrupt as hell. Like everywhere else?
Guess it depends on who you ask and what they do. I worked for the state and spent a lot of time in the court rooms for about a decade. The judges were more than fair, actually easy on folks more often than not. The sheriff is decent. Runs Off deputies and jailers that don’t act right so nothing like it was back then. Not enough jobs so too many people on hard drugs, big problem with meth and pills. @@jupitercyclops6521
I would love to live in such a lovely community. My grandparents lived there.
My father was a veteran who was involved in the BofA. He said within five years the new guys were more corrupt than the guys that were ousted. I guess it's inevitable that power corrupts.
And everything everywhere is corrupted. And speak those words you are labeled MAGA
Bring back the men of this great REPUBLIC. Protect America USA USA USA the answer to 1984 is 1776.
Amen brother
Sounds like the 2020 election!
Sadly without anyone putting up sufficient resistance
It was the same thing but the whole USA was in on it.... crazy how the supreme Court wouldn't even look into it absolutely crazy we the people should have taken it into our own hands
What rock u been living under?
You think 2020 is the first election to be rigged?
Hahahaha!
Perfect example of why we need our 2nd amendment!
An an American and a gun nut I was slightly set back and made aghast when seeing a PPSH described as as Thompson lol good video i may be moving here in a few months
Ah yes. It was careless mistake and i'll never hear the end of it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.
@@clutteredcompass😂👍👍
We are the direct descendants of "The Greatest Generation'.
Some of us also won the cold war and while we were busy the enemy was sure the peace was lost
Too bad we didn't do this in 2020 we might not be having the problems we have today in our country
Not just with the election but also with the ‘peaceful protests’ as well.
Welcome to the "List" (as if we all aren't already on it !)
The shots at the end are of Athens TN? It looks just adorable
Crooked democrats same to day
So did the sheriff and the politician just skate? Sounds real familiar.
that wasn't a Thompson
It was a PPSH.
Whos here from Timcast IRL
I live right down the road
Sergeant York then Athens , Tenn. What next?
If Ur gonna tout machine guns, GET them correct at least!!! That was NO Thompson! It looked russian?
Pic is a ppsh-41. Correct, it is Russian.
Does a sherman remain American upon lend lease delivery to soviet union?
@@raddziedzic8671 He showed a picture of a Soviet PPSh-41, not a Thompson, completely different sub-machine guns
We need to revolt
Fed
Athens 2.0 around the corner
Not even close to the same thing.
"took 2 Thompson submachine guns" shows ppsh-41
Whatever became of Cantrell?
After the battle, he remained in McMinn County and worked for the Tennessee Natural Gas Company. Cantrell died on July 8, 1962.
@@clutteredcompass Interesting. Thanks for that. I wonder what was going through his mind as he was driving away in an ambulance. Curious where he went the next day and what transpired and if he was ever held account for his corruption.
@@mark97213 He's been dead for 60 years...now in the company of The Rich man in a place of torment....so what I've heard is true....some may not find justice in this lifetime ( as sad and true fact) but rest assured...God reigns.... justice will be served! ✌️❤️🇺🇸🗽🛐
@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 Thanks for that but what became of him right after this event?
@@mark97213 I wish I knew...I don't... but from my self experience... hardly anything happens to the rich and powerful....
I now live in a city that is the County seat... government center....
And just like Cantrell there's a dirty District Attorney and a bunch of crooked crony cops under his thumb that profit by exposing everybody they can weaknesses and tainting...
Sad ... very Sad...
Albeit victory though small comes from removing men like this from power....
As human nature calls ...we want more...we want blood....but the reward comes from exposure and their relief of command....
✌️❤️🇺🇸🗽🛐
This is my City. We are now in shambles. We have went in reverse
Wake up America it’s coming again big time ach
