New Black Panthers in Dallas showing Police and criminals that they are armed and have rights.
[i]About 30 men and women with the Huey P. Newton Gun Club rallied through the streets, focusing on deadly police shootings from the Ferguson, MO shooting death of teen Michael Brown to shootings by local police.
Some carried long guns, rifles, shotguns and AR-15s, while others carried signs others and wore messages.
“I think it’s a good thing,” said Reginald Cofer with Mothers Against Teen Violence.
“They are trying to protect the community,” said Jacey Cofer with Mothers Against Teen Violence. “At the city hall meeting the other day, we got no answers. It’s been a bunch of murders, the cops are not being accountable for it, and we want answers.” [/i]

Holey Jeebus Crap…
If that had been ANYBODY ELSE…AND I MEAN ANYBODY ELSE BESIDES MINORITIES…they’d be radical right wing extremists who are potentially terrorists.
Now I’m all for ANYONE having the right to defend themselves, but the BPs are no different from the Klan. And the whole “Mothers Against Having Working Brain Cells” groups endorsing them is simply mind blowing.
To put it mildly. This is some “Jim Crow” quality double standards. We aren’t even “separate but equal” anymore. If some skinhead group tried to pull that stunt the SWAT presence would make Ferguson look like a “citizen patrol group” action, it would lead the nightly news and the SPLC and Al Sharpton would be on CNN around the clock talking about the “RACE CRISIS” in this country.
And of course the local “community groups” would DEMAND a Federal response from Holder IMMEDIATELY for their protection against this domestic terrorist group.
I kind of think everyone should open carry all the time.
Barring that, I’d personally prefer to concealed carry for tactics and social reasons. I also think the more people do it, the more it’ll be accepted. But carrying long guns that aren’t slung across your back is like holding, not holstering, a pistol everywhere you go. It would put me on edge for sure.
These guys are members of the new black panther party, so yeah it’s a little different. They are the black version of the klan. So when open carry texas becomes a racist white supremacist group let me know, until then.
That didn’t take long. Sarcastic and resentful post. The open carry texas folks have gotten so much love here over the past few months, I can see how you would need to post in your usual manor.
Oh it has nothing to do with their “love here over the past few months”, it has everything to do with the garbage they put on their youtube channel, and how idiotic their “tactics” are. I view them the same as the idiots in the OP’s post. Same genus, different species.
I can see the legitimacy of the comparison between the OP group and OCT, and how ironic it is that some champion OCT as saviors of our rights, while condemning the group in the OP. That’s all.
I agree, the majority of them are most definitely retards and have gotten almost if no support here. I avoid their youtube videos or anything else for that matter.
When you state you need to open carry to protect yourself against criminals and the police, it sounds a lot like protection from criminals and from the government. If it was not a group founded on the principles of racial hatred, I might be inclined to let it go. Ask yourself if everyone would be all warm and fuzzy for the KKK to do the same thing.
I was more disturbed by the college student that wants to make sure everyone is aware of the situation with MB. Forget the fact that we don’t know if that situation was “criminal attacks police and gets shot” or “criminal wrongly shot in police encounter”.
I understand it’s different circumstances, but I think the problem here (the double standard) is the media’s reaction to it.
My personal feeling on the matter is when these open carry advocates were doing their thing, and exercising their rights the public and media acts unfavorably (myself and many others thought they were idiots for drawing the negative attention, and giving the liberal media the ammo), but when a historically racist and extreme group does it, it’s their right… kinda backwards.
Golly, I wonder if Rick Perry will support a law outlawing open carry . . . like then California governor Ronald Reagan signed the Mulford Act back in the sixties (the good old days when the NRA supported gun control) when white folks shit the bed at the sight of black folks carrying guns.
