I live in Texas. I have ever legal right to use deadly force to prevent theft of my property. They can take my car. I will kill them as soon as they turn around to enter my now stolen car. I am old and can not fight a young kid. I am adept in the extreme with firearms. I wish this never happens as it would cause me grief.
A few months ago was a Black Lives Matter protest in my small peaceful town of Salado, Texas. They were protesting what they thought was a Confederate Soldier Statue but in their ignorance did not know it was a soldier in uniform of the Texas Army prior to the civil war. Stupid hurts.
The protest was directly across from my business. I was in front of my shop with arms hidden. I wished not to appear aggressive but was prepared. AR-15s with my friend. You will not burn my shop down assholes. It is really that simple.
In front of other shops owners were doing exactly as I. A couple of guys in a golf cart parked on my land. I asked them “why are you here.” They said to “insure peace and order.” I said “you are not armed” The man just pointed to a blanket in the back of the cart. I then told him, “you are welcome on my land.”
BLM had their protest at the community center quite legally. They had armed persons carrying AR-15s which was totally legal and I oddly approve. They originally intended to march down main street to the statue and continue the protest. That was when bad would have happened. They wisely decided not to do this.
The Salado police and Bell County Police and State Police handled this with extreme wisdom. They made their presence known at the protest but in small numbers and just a few vehicles. Within 3 blocks at the local cop shop were multiple vehicles of city, county, and state police. If something bad would have happened they would have been there instantly. I guess it was a good day for the cops. Coffee and doughnuts and no confrontation. It was also a good day for Salado.
I suspect BLM has crossed off my little village for protests.
They (BLM) thought in their ignorance, that marching in these small communities was going to intimidate whitey (which, if truth be known, almost every small community has a contingent of blacks that have fled to the safety of small, mostly white communities). They did their thing in my small community and a couple of other adjoining towns around here too. I got irritated at the ‘warm’ reception by some of the locals. Apparently they weren’t connecting the fact that the cretins are implying they are racists and that the organization is marxist in nature. In any case though, no one attacked them and they also got the message ‘not’ to attack.
