No Riots in Dallas

How Armed Texans Kept the Peace during Ferguson Protests
Since the ruling in favor of Darren Wilson came to pass there have been protests all over the nation. In Ferguson, the protests turned violent. Tragically people even lost their lives after the ruling. And in other cities protests have often involved acts of civil disobedience, marches, “die-ins” and sit-ins on highways.
Days after the ruling, protestors in Dallas, Texas were taking part in similar actions. As they paraded down some of the busiest streets in Dallas, some protestors even risked their lives as they illegally crossed guard rails and proceeded to use their bodies to block one of Dallas’s busiest interstates.
After several hours, and some minor infractions were observed, arrests were made and protestors were finally convinced to move on.
The next day a group of three individuals with the group “Come and Take It Texas” decided they would add a little extra protection for local businesses who weren’t there to protect their establishments.
With rifles at the ready, the three walked behind the group of protestors to make sure that the protestors never grew unruly and didn’t destroy private property.
The protestors had no issue with the protestors exercising their constitutional rights for peaceful assembly. All they wanted do was make sure the protestors didn’t break the law. As Matthew Short with Come and Take it said, “We’ll stand between them and private property.”
As a testament to the effectiveness of the open carry, the group of protestors was greatly diminished from the night before.
Similar stories have been reported out of Ferguson, but the mainstream media has been reluctant to talk about them. That’s because they’re not really all that keen on reporting the effectiveness of the second amendment. They’d rather continue to pass anti-gun legislation like they just did in Washington State.
