A group of armed demonstrators protesting North Carolina's stay-at-home order visited a Raleigh restaurant this weekend, weapons slung over their shoulders, and were captured in photographs that went viral.
Travis Long, a photojournalist with The News & Observer, said he shot the photos inside a Subway on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh.
One photo shows a protester carrying what appears to be an AT4 rocket launcher and two pistols in holsters on his waist. Another shows a protester holding a large weapon over his shoulder as he appears to take a selfie. Only two of the protesters who appear in the photos are wearing masks.

Funny, I don't remember that being part of a well regulated militia! Seriously that gives new meaning to the name "Bazooka Joe".
**Canned audience laughter and applause**
Next week the Top 10 is our 200th episode spectacular! Coronavirus hits the White House, Trump's campaign goes full Star Wars, we question Trump's taste in campaign music, the world's shittiest spy strikes again, we dissect the Tara Reade allegations, conspiracy theorists go all in on Comey, and we're all gonna die. Plus in our weekly investigative piece, Top 10 Investigates, the state of Mississippi is in big trouble after an audit reveals that a lot of money was spent very foolishly. So who done it? And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", is COVID infringing on your right to practice religion? Our resident pastor says no, but that's not what the other guy says! We also have a new People Are Dumb, because the pandemic has not stopped stupid people from being stupid! And it's the final round of Stupidest State 2020 Round 2- it's the Fiscal Irresponsibility championship as #1 Michigan takes on #4 Nebraska! Plus we'll play the new Rolling Stones song!

(13,865 posts)1. If I were the guy behind the counter
I would scream, run and lock myself in the meat locker and just leave him standing there. If everyone did that maybe he would leave his penis extension at home.
Seriously dude. You say I wear a mask because of fear, yet you carry a fucking military weapon just for protection?

(19,224 posts)2. Bazooka Boy looks to have two black powder revolvers, which is odd
And since that AT4 is just an empty metal tube (they're sold to collectors cheap once they've been fired), my hunch is that he's a felon prohibited from owning real firearms. Black powder guns aren't classified as firearms.
