Area 51 raid

My fellow CYStians! Anyone coming to the raid tomorrow?

Honestly, I think it’s a little stupid, but I’m kinda curious....

Why of course!

 

Let us clap some alien cheeks!

I'm almost certian a quite a few people are going to show up and watch, but I wonder how many will be brave/stupid enough to actually try to go in. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.  I wont be going, (can't exactly skip school to head out to nevada for the weekend).  Still, it's really cool to see the internet banding together like this.  Hopefully no-one winds up dead/in jail, though I'm sure many will...

I haven't been keeping up on this, and only paid attention when Kar brought up a youtube video of it in the Discord.

So far it's boring and will probably only bother to show interest again when the military starts shooting people.

Tbh, I’m kinda hoping for that to happen

I doubt many people will be shot. I can imagine that is possible for people to get incarcerated for an indefinite time. That can happen now.

I've only met one person who ever went there and he was horribly lost. The MPs picked him up and drove him out of the area.

I've barely been paying attention to this thing, is the plan to reenact that one scene from Independence Day? But they're not even bringing their own alien to share?

Will Jeff Goldblum at least be there to make the whole thing worth watching?

Jeff Goldblum did say he would be there.

As did Keanu Reeves, Chuck Norris, Sweaty Arnold Schwarzennegger, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, Elon Musk, and Shaggy from the live-action Scooby Doo. I don't think they were being serious, though.

"About 100 extraterrestrial enthusiasts converged at the back gate of Area 51 near Rachel to follow through on the original Storm Area 51 plan…

…Law enforcement officers blocked the road about a mile from the gate, with attendees walking the rest of the way. About a dozen officers were stationed at the gate, ready to act if anyone tried to breach the area. At the strike of 3 a.m. an officer with a police dog in tow, walked up from inside of the gates.

Some of the crowd acted as if they were going to “storm” the gates, but stopped after getting laughs from the crowd, as Europe’s “Final Countdown” blared from a attendee’s speaker.

Law enforcement officials were lighthearted for the most part about the gathering, joking with the crowd. They gave a stern warning to a man in a purple Lucha Libre mask for touching the gate as he posed for pictures."

Well that’s... disappointing.  I thought at least a couple would make a run for it, (though they probably would’ve died, so maybe this was the best case scenario).  Then again, maybe some did try running, and the government’s just covering it up.

I think it mostly had to do with not wanting to be mauled by the canine haha!

What a bunch of useless pansies. No one willing to take one for the team.

I mean, it DID originate on the internet... This was probably the first time some of then ever stepped outdoors.

Whoa, I can't believe that one guy got a stern verbal warning. I watched it on liveleak but had to close the video half way through. It was so brutal, I wanted to throw up.

When will this oppressive fascist dictatorship come to an end and stop hiding the truth from the people??

I was sort of backup for the countermeasures to the raid, if it counts lol
