    Default Welcome to Texas, Y'All

    Not to be outdone, here in San Antonio, there is a peaceful march downtown, East Side.

    Surrounding the Alamo are armed to the teeth Texas Militia. Don't mess with Texas

    Seriously, they'd have to go some around here to get stirred up as much as in MN. You get shot by a cop here, odds are good he/she is Hispanic or black.

    Don't know any more Texas cliches. Sorry

    Not sure on Dallas, but that's not surprising. Just another over-sized, leftwingnut-laden city. They seem to all possess the worst this country has to offer.

    We has some vandalism here downtown on the Riverwalk. Small businesses make up most of it. Nothing like most other places.

    To put the thugs starkly into the glow of a streetlight, this was separate from and a couple of hours AFTER the peaceful march. It's ridiculous, and to me personally, embarrassing. We've never acted like that. From what I have heard, it was YOUNG people, skin color not a noticeable factor.

    You can just bet I'm going to be quite damned vocal with my opinion around here. Unacceptable.

    Guess all you got to do to end COVID lockdown is have one dumbass cop on a power trip kill a black guy 2000 miles away

    The article you posted was from Dallas. Aboout 380 miles north.

    The article I posted is from the San Antonio Express-News about what happened last night here.

    I never thought about it before, but I looked into joining this :This is Texas Freedom Force". They're dedicated to preserving Texas history. They're also the armed militia at the Alamo. Just think ... the opportunity to defend the Alamo. Now what red-blooded Texan WOULDN'T want to do THAT?

    Besides, I got better weapons and gear than those guys are showing.

    The violence seems mostly 'big city,' I'm not sure of the pop. of SA, but not 'big' or Democrat ruled?

    I would NEVER knee-jerk join something like that. I'd have to actually read up then meet some people. My non-PC opinions aside, truth be told, the first whiff of racism and I'd be GONE. I despise racists and racism. Just because I'll call it out on WHOEVER is doing it doesn't mean that when it's non-whites it's any less racist.

    Unfortunately, a lot of these organizations are fronts for just such vermin. I just thought it would be cool if they are all about what they say they are -- preserving Texas history -- to actually do something about something I care about (preserving history).

    I seriously doubt I'd tote my gear down to the Alamo and set up a firing point .
