DeleteProtesting is fine as long as you don't invade other's people's personal space. Masked people approaching my car - my Spidey Senses begin to tingle. I don't know what their intentions are but I clearly remember the footage of Reginald Denny in 1992 - don't be another Reginald Denny.
ReplyDeleteThat is my new favorite meme. Soiboi fucked around and found out, didn't he?
ReplyDeleteSeeing news reports that (paraphrased) "eyewitnesses stated he never fired and was pointing his rifle down". THere is at least one photo or still capture of him as the incident occurred, a step away from and facing the driver's side of the car, eyes locked on the driver, rifle held at low ready (butt up beside his head and muzzle down). So yeah, it was pointed down, but that doesn't mean what the eyewitnesses think...sorry, feel...it means in this context.

ReplyDeleteDammit, now I have to clean my keyboard. Pronouns...heh.
ReplyDeleteOpen Carry in a mob like that is spectacularly stupid in Texas. I thing nearly all of my friends have carry permits. These fools (he's not the only one to do it) point, and sometimes shoot at people just trying to get by in their cars. I'm sorry, you point that in my direction, and it's game on.
It's all fun and games until someone takes you seriously and shoots your ass.
Yep, the pronoun found out the hard way. Guess he shouldn't have called everyone a pussy only hours before.
DeleteI'm a few hours north of Austin. On Saturday a handful of BLM types were bused out to our small town from Dallas to demonstrate on the courthouse lawn... in front of the memorial to the Confederate soldiers who served. They were met with about 500 + locals, many armed with long guns, to keep them from ripping the monument down....and exactly zero people were shot. I think 1 or 2 people "shoved" another person... that was it.
ReplyDeleteHeadlines in the local rags said "protests marked by violence" and accused the "racist" locals of that violence. I was there for 2 hours...there were no issues at all.
Meanwhile, 51 people in Chicago were shot on that same weekend. Mayor of Chicago said it was of course due to guns.
51 people in Chicago shot due to guns? Hmmm...kinda impossible to have a shooting without a gun, but maybe the Mayor of Chicago hasn't quite realized the obviousness of what she said?
DeleteFucked around and found out. Especially after he invited trouble at the start by giving an interview where he said "the other side are a bunch of pussys and won't do shit."
ReplyDeleteKarma certainly put the smackdown on that boy.
Nothing better than getting the opportunity to shoot a second amendment supporter exercising his rights, amirite?
ReplyDeleteNothing better than getting the opportunity to shoot a subhuman marxist rioter threatening random people, amirite?
ReplyDeleteFixed that for you, Aaron.
The APD is soliciting for any possible videos of the event. They may have let him go but he ain't 'free' yet. Austin is extremely far left.
ReplyDeleteIf alleged 2A supporter is also a fucking commie coming to low ready on my car door while said car is surrounded by a mob of screaming, pounding commie jackanapes, yep, nothing better.
