Thanks for the cool video. I really liked Marty Robbins RIP 1982. He was only 57 when he passed away from complications of surgery after his third heart attack. It was a great tragedy for Western and Country music, for the motion picture industry, and for NASCAR. The Nashville Fair Grounds race was renamed the Marty Robbins 420 in his honor in 1983. — Wikipedia

This journalist is missing a great opportunity for a big story.

Right off the bat, it is mentioned that he is a big black man with dreadlocks, and as such will get more attention than a (white) man with open carry. What wasn’t said is that the attention paid to him might have been mitigated because he was accompanied by a white man.

If he really wanted to make a splash, he could get a small group of black men, with open carry, and see what results.

This might be too radical, off the bat, so he might try some mix and match, and in one afternoon get enough observations for several columns. Keep it to groups of four for some standardization. All with open carry.

1) Two black men and two white men.
2) Two black men and two black women.
3) Two black men and two white women.
4) Four black men with neutral uniformity, like same color baseball caps.
5) etc.

That is a start!

My grandfather used to listen to those songs a lot and the stuff/musicians from that era. It’s not ‘my music’ since i’m an 80s kid but I actually like it and occasionally hit Youtube for the nostalgia.

It’s hokey, cheezy and out of it’s time. But it’s still actually ‘good’ music from an era people didn’t need autotune and could play their instruments.

I’m past my limit too, and I won’t subscribe. But, today (in a coffee shop) I noticed a big article in the Local section about a man who killed somebody with a sword in a rampage over a woman.
