This is why smaller communities
The small city that surrounds RM Ranch has had a number of protests re: the killing of George Floyd. They have all been peaceful. My wife had an occasion to speak with one of the protesters who said a number of people known to no one showed up for the most recent march. A conversation ensued. What follows is my paraphrase, based upon what the local protester told my wife.
“Where are y’all from?”
“San Antonio,” the unknowns replied. (It’s worth noting that is a trip of about 250 miles).
“Okay. Why are you here?” locals asked.
“We’re gonna cause some s***!”
“Not here, you aren’t. You need to carry your asses back to wherever the hell you came from.”
The ones who were here to cause trouble seem to have left shortly thereafter. There was no trouble caused. Weird, huh?
And that is both how real protesters keep control of a protest and how smaller communities work.
You and i both took the oath to protect and defend the peoples right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances. When they arrive in your town intending to F**k things up, they are not “peaceable assemblers”. When they throw a brick , its a riot.
Rioters need to be dealt with by use of the ” Five B’s”. Boldness, Baton, Bayonet, Birdshot, Bullets. In that order of course.
I wholeheartedly agree!
