Not recognizing the issue causes any "logic" to go askew or become a joke...

The question centered on the almost inevitable likelihood of blacks being murdered if they demonstrated with long guns; pictures provided, speculations plentiful.

All I have to do is provide examples to the contrary. I did. The HPNGC has demonstrated several times (even in my city in front of the Texas capitol bldg) without problem. I also noted in the thread the experiences of the Deacons for Defense in Bogulousa some 50 yrs ago, which included piling out of a car in broad daylight to confront an angry mob -- which backed down, and the probably killing of a white man after he shot at a black residence, and received return fire for his efforts.

Hard example and fact goes further than spec.
