Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday, I took Red Frog Team's "Intro to AR-15 class". It took place at TCGC. I thought that the class was very comprehensive, and very well run. The instructor, Garrick Fernbaugh is an ex-Seal with instruction and curriculum-planning credentials. With two safety instructors there as well for our class of about seven, the class was not only well run, but very safe.

Starting with field-stripping the AR-15 platform (required for this class- other "Rifle X00" are open to other platforms), we moved to the shooting phase. We zeroed our rifles (iron or optics) from the 50 yard line, then moved into various shooting positions, which Fern called "fundamental". Standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone. And not just plopping down into these positions, but getting into them purposefully and correctly, keeping the weapon on-target, and then getting up again "Get up ready to fight!" with the muzzle and the sights on-target, then "safe 'em and hang 'em".

The class ended after about 200 rounds expended with a final "test", starting at the 50 yard line, and then moving to the 25 and 15 yard lines, (not shooting and moving), utilizing various positions. New targets were up for the test, and scored at the end.

We finished up with an AAR, and completion certificates for the participants. Shannon, a shooter and the business manager, was there too as one of the safeties, and really helped keep the class running smoothly and provided a lot of insight. She was on my end of the firing line, and helped me quite a bit.

Overall, I am really impressed with Red Frog Team. I've taken a few other classes in this vein, and this class was easily abreast or even a bit better than others.

They have a pistol pipeline, a rifle pipeline, and a concealed pipeline, each starting at their "Intro" level, and then moving up successive tiers. Fern said that the curriculum is expanding, and we may see more classes and more levels soon. There are also some LEO-specific courses for our friends in blue.

To his great misfortune Mr Fernbaugh was doxed and accused of throwing PVC constructed black powder pipe bombs into a rioters staging area in a park near PPB E precinct a couple of nights back. The "case", as such can be made thru vids on social media and the absence of cooperation from the "No Cops, No Prisons, global abolition" crowd who claimed they 'witnessed' the incident, is being investigated by PPB.
 
I'm waiting for the results of whatever PPB investigation, if they're able to do one, produces. AFAIK they're working off of vids and statements from social media from that night and the following day. The lefties, unsurprisingly, are convinced of it based on a vid of his alleged exfil from the area post incident and their 'witnesses'. They have circulated his name and internet presence (FB, LinkedIn, web site) among their comrades and presumably this info is in the possession of PPB.

Nonetheless, if it's true that some form of direct action was taken against rioters in a staging area IMHO it was about time that someone stood up to them. I would have preferred a organized group of competent, fit, disciplined, resolute and properly equipped people making their presence known openly but felt, if necessary and accompanied by legal advisers and videographers. I do recognize that over the past couple of weeks a small organized group of "Back the Blue" demonstrators have been at the federal courthouse during the day time and have been subjected to the harassment of anarchists/ANTIFA/Marxists. I don't think that's enough, though I have participated in a similar demonstration.

Up to that point, AFAIK, the only publicized actions by citizens who object to the activity by anarchists/ANTIFA/Marxists have taken the form of two motorists who fired shots in the air when their vehicles were stopped and swarmed, another who drove thru a illegal roadblock put up by the rioters when they tried to stop and swarm him, and two elderly women who tried to stop arson and vandalism at E precinct last week. They were shouted down and escorted out of the area by other protesters but only after one of them had paint splattered on her; the other who used a walker was not physically assaulted but was obstructed in trying to put out the fire set against the Portland Police Association building.

Thankfully last night at N precinct, at least until 0030 when I stopped monitoring them, the protesters remained peaceful and did not provoke any law enforcement response for the first time in 73 days.

Any links to these videos?
 
For the past 73 days of protests against systemic racism and police violence, there has been a continuous fear that right-wing demonstrators would become involved, leading to violence. Now, it appears that may have happened.

I dont know and this is just my 2 cents. All these folks burning crap and acting like a bunch of hoodlums are domestic terrorist. They will all be surprised when the good folks stand up to them. Nobody wants to be the first to stand up but I think a whole bunch are going to join in at some point.

No riot was declared in that park, on that night, so while you may not like the ideals of those individuals, they were not 'rioting' then and there.

Whoever threw that pipebomb, is a straight up coward. Is that how they train SEALs?
