Open Carry Texas members frighten restaurant employees – who hid in a locked freezer

May 3, 2014

Open Carry Texas demonstrators are complaining that police treated them like criminals on Thursday night simply because they scared the crap out of restaurant employees, so much so that the workers took shelter in a locked freezer. You see, Open Carry Texas members are concluding that they are the victims, even though they scared the snot out of restaurant employees, because they say it’s “their Constitutional right.”

Sgt. Ray Bush, with the Fort Worth Police Department, said Jack in the Box employees were frightened over the armed men protesting outside of the restaurant.

He said in an email to NBCDFW, “They locked themselves inside a freezer for protection out of fear the rifle-carrying men would rob them. The demonstration had no signage that would have alerted anyone to their real purpose, and to our knowledge they did not attempt to contact anyone in the Fort Worth Police Department to advise us prior to the demonstration.”

Subsequently, the Fort Worth police responded to the situation as if it was a robbery.

One demonstrator said, “I’m upset that that many officers had to arrive on the scene.”

But, if a robbery were taking place, then police not responding to the scene would have been a call for more guns, I assume.

According to the demonstrator, Edwin Haros, more than a dozen officers arrived at the restaurant where the group of rifle-carrying men planned a protest.
