Did Open Carry law prevent Soros backed violence in Cleveland?

Posted on 07/22/2016 3:02:41 PM PDT by detective

At almost all other Trump events masked thugs attack Trump supporters and try to disrupt events. Leftist groups had threatened to block the streets and shut down the convention.

There were demonstrations but almost no assaults.

Do you think this is because demonstrators thought Trump supporters might be legally armed? Did the demonstrators not want to risk getting shot during one of their assaults?

It is probably likely. An armed society is a polite society.

Yes, being able to openly carry defensive firearms puts other people on their best behavior.

Amazing, isn’t it.

What happened to the New Black Panthers contingent that was going to go to Cleveland, heavily armed, looking for trouble?

Worried about bikers? Second thoughts? Forgot the date?

Almost certainly must have helped prevent soros violence, yes! $10 “activists” and “agitators” are usually just smart enough not to rush an ar-15 or colt 45 or 1911 or glock or whatever. And I don’t think soros provides his little brown- shirts any hospitalization or medical insurance coverage ?

I’ve suspected that Soros pulled in his horns.

My suspicion was that he knew that mass violence would only help Trump.

I call them the New Black Pampers.

I suspect there may be a lot of frustrated leftist loons who, unable to start trouble in Cleveland, will now head to the Democrat convention and vent their frustration in the streets of Philadelphia. There’s no open carry there, no group like “Bikers for Trump” to stand in their way, and Philly has a new liberal mayor, Jim Kenney, who is a Bill DeBlasio wanna-be.

“Thank you for that irrational, emotional rant.”

Open carry scared the SHIITE out of them, and likely scared the shit out of them too.

I think we PROVED that we were right.

The demonstrators won’t have to worry at the Dhimmicrat
Convention (Hillaryfest) except maybe about Hillary and
Billious’s armed body guards. Who’s her VP pick; does
anybody know? He’ll have armed guards, too.

Agreed.

The two best quotes from "Roadhouse":
#1-Sam Elliot: "She's got entirely too many brains to have an azz like that."
#2-Patrick Swayze:"Be nice until it's time to not be nice." d:^)
