The way to shut these cowards up is for several big black men to show up with THEIR open-carry arms displayed and stand on the sidewalk right outside these fascists rusted-out pickup truck and stare at THEM.
They will drive away quickly (if the white cops don’t show up and shoot the black men exercising THEIR 2nd amendment rights first.)
Remember this and the shit storm it created?
Clearly a rhetorical question. Merely being black with wallets in their back pockets would be enough to get them slaughtered.
Their brown shirts must be in the wash. That’s the only explanation I can think of for why they’re not wearing them.
“We’re not a threat to anybody, the only threat is ignorance, and ignorance will breed fear,” he said.
/facepalm
Same thought. Yesterday was Thursday, which for most of us means it was a workday. You know, work? Pay the bills? I guess these two are welfare queens who have time to sit around all day doing nothing but fondling their barrels. Enough money to buy long guns and ammo, but they don’t have jobs? Where does that money come from? Are there street addresses for these guys?
I have to question any form of government that proudly proclaims every citizen should have a voice in electing those leading them.
Exhibit A:
Have they been vetted?
So what are the limits of open carry in Virginia? This went on for twelve hours, so I’m thinking not much. But even if you take gun advocates at their word, the gun is there for protection, not intimidation. At what point is displaying a firearm a threat? Does their fear (why else would they need a gun) trump the fear they are purposefully imposing on the people entering and leaving that office? At what point is their “protest” armed intimidation of persons trying to peacefully exercise their rights to participate in the political process?
I’m not looking for the obvious snark about the color of their skin. That is absolutely true but not the end of the issues raised by these kinds of actions. Open carry laws, in design or implementation, are in direct conflict with constitutionally guaranteed rights of free speech and peaceable assembly which are bedrocks of our democratic system.
There is no god but Trump and Hannity is his prophet.
After reading this on our local news here in C’ville, my reply to people who were saying “Oh, this isn’t in any way intimidation!” how they would feel if a person (or persons) did the same exact thing, but were instead sitting outside of their home.
No replies yet, but I can bet that if that happened, the cops would have been called rather quickly, due to a feeling of intimidation. I know I would.
Does Virginia law say that it’s fine to strap on yer .357 and go loiter inside your neighborhood Bank of America ?
This is about a mile from where I live. I’ve walked that way many of times over the years. They will not intimidate me. If they try, they’ll get an earful. My ballot has already been cast. Jane Dittmar got my vote. So, ha!
And isn’t it funny how “despicable” is just not strong enough word to adequately describe these clowns.
Unfortunately, they’re well within their legal right to make such asses of themselves. However, I do believe there is a law somewhere on the books about men being required to have penises. These dudes should be careful.
This is a threat to democratic governance. The Press should be all over this. If the Press is NOT doing this, we have a problem…they will THEN be telling law-abiding Americans:
:“You are on your own”
After helping create Trump (with free MSM exposure and softball questions) the Press has a lot to answer for, even if they DO do the right thing.
My wife and I are actually a little nervous about Election day. While we hope that nothing like that would happen, there are some people (even in very blue Charlottesville) who might take up the challenge and try to do something to stop people from voting (or at least, intimidating those who go in to vote).
One hopes that the state has police forces stationed nearby all polling places on Nov. 8.
Sat there for 12 hours? No job? Another unemployed, ignorant redneck done in by the GOP.
for street address, check their mommas’ basements.
