Not commenting on this particular event; but you're a weird and inconsistent fuck, Brian.
It's legal to protest, right?
And it's legal to carry weaponry, especially in Texas. But in your rabbit hole bubble world, it's legal EVERYWHERE, right?
So why can't a protestor carry a weapon to a protest without being automatically labelled as a terrorist?
They're acting within the scope of 1A and 2A as you understand them.
Now these people MIGHT have been intending more mischief. No opinion from me.
But is the evidence THAT clear that the sentences handed down- worse than those for murder- make sense?
I guess if the jury says so, it is so.
