elvis christ 451 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I haven't seen any real notable misbehavior, I heard a report that the KKK, BLM, and westboro church were throwing piss at each other, and Alex Jones says he was attacked by commies, but otherwise, I haven't heard of many arrests or riots, fires, fights, etc. I'd like to submit that this is directly related to the amount of people, of all different ideologies, walking around with guns. People seem to be fairly civil, the worst I've seen was a little jew kid, around 12 or 13, yelling racist at some Christian guy on a megaphone reciting scripture. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) The beauty/curse is that we will never know. I'll bet the protesters did think about it!

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 One way or the other... I was forced to make some people nice on a couple of occasions. I'm just glad I didn't have to fire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'm sure if someone so much as dropped a live round on the ground the media would have been all over it like it was the next Sandy Hook! Not one peep in the news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I watched a bunch of live streams of the protesters, it seemed to me the conversations between socialists, trump supporters, libertarians, etc were much more civil than I would have imagined.

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well it certainly did not hurt though I hate open carry personally, cracker jacks man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Saw pics of groups open carrying long rifles in front of smiling cops. The libs however, weren't smiling. I think the protesters were taken back at the site of the opposing team being openly armed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Open carry can work. An obvious example would be our otherwise nearly perfect mountain valley small town where a great percentage do choose to open carry. Usually handguns. Lots of times large edged weapons. Rarely the new bodies with their miss slung various black rifles and AKs. Unfortunately there is good reason for all the public hardware display. We experience just about zero law enforcement. None. The closest most of the time is at least one hour, (60 minutes) away, and that usually, (not always) only for multiple shots fired or multiple felonies. Polite is the word.
