#1 As I mentioned to some friends a few weeks ago some people are going to get killed before this illegal shutdown is ended

#3 Unhappily the Mail omitted the action photos of the highly trained, flint eyed local SWAT team. That and the Gofundme page set up to get them a treadmill.

#5 The cops need to smell the coffee. This crap is not going to be tolerated much longer. Next time it could be 20 heavily armed men properly deployed to do an enveloping maneuver. The cops are way outmanned and outgunned in this state. Best for them to stick investigating traffic accidents.

#7 Texas, local decision like in Blue Arm of Dallas vs. Hair Salon.

DM does a good job with ridiculous pics of the arrested, wait until you see The Burger King's Guard. I think that is a lift gate on their MRAP.

Stupid prizes all around.

Argument seems to be whether the protestors were on private property, silly but legal, or on bar property, where firearms are not allowed at all.

#8 This is going to get out of hand, and bloody, very fast.

The governors need to back off before this becomes a replay of Bleeding Kansas

#9 These scum bag "Roland Freisler" judges in Texas and across the land are not helping.
