https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-lockdown-protesters-are-now-facing-down-cops-over-covid-safety-measures-outside-of-bars?ref=homeIf the police are calling in reinforcements, then Im calling in reinforcements, C.J. Grisham, the president of Open Carry Texas and a strident Texas gun right activist, said in a video urging his followers to outnumber the police at the bar. Grisham himself didnt attend the protest.
David Amad, the vice-president of Open Carry Texas, went further in another video, comparing the county sheriff to a villain from Robin Hood.
We need all the firepower we can get, because apparently we have a sheriff down there who thinks hes the sheriff of Nottingham, Amad said.
Much more at link. 😳🤬

But, OF COURSE, it is this kind of out of control, armed insurgence STILL happening instead.

I knew they would become more brazen when protesters blocking ambulance entrance road to hospital in MI were not arrested.
Coddling these people is enabling, and only serves to embolden them. 🤬

(38,187 posts)Can you imagine if any liberal even so much as had nailclippers near a courthouse or state capitol building? It would be The Patriot Act invocation as an excuse to come after us with everything they got, including loads of riot gear, tanks, and all of the post 9/11 military gear they have.
