Also at this gear check on the 3rd, Song proposed to free detainees using quote-unquote suppressive fire.

Oh my god.

Kent testified that after looking over photos of the facility, Song said, quote, this is as easy as it's going to get.

We can take the place and free the people inside, unquote, using quote-unquote suppressive fire.

This idea was met with quote-unquote general disagreement, according to Kent.

Yeah, of course.

Defendant Autumn Hill asked, do we bring our guns?

Song replied, yes, I'm not getting arrested, unquote.

Okay.

Another defendant, Rueda, wrote that she didn't want a quote-unquote Fed post.
