On the road again the Caravan is making tracks to and through the great state of Texas. After a few hours of sleep, the brigade has mustered out. Theres a great song about Abilene . prettiest place Ive ever seen, people there dont treat you so mean in Abilene. Lets hope that is true for our heroes.
The Minuteman Caravan will be a positive statement for the citizens of the United States of America. The Minutemen will drive from Los Angeles California to Washington D.C. Major rallies will be held in Phoenix, Crawford Texas and then concluding on May 12th in Washington D.C.
I'm hoping to be out in Richmond to greet them on May 11th. I love these guys.
Sure hope you all report back about the rumble at Crawford, wanted to be there real bad but something came up and I was unable to attend.
Pictures please and a report on the highlights.
BTTT for the Caravan!
I am so sick of the lack of distinction and illiteracy of Vigilance vs Vigilante
vigilance (noun) -
1. vigilant attentiveness
"he keeps a weather eye open for trouble"
Function: noun
Etymology: Spanish, watchman, guard, from vigilante vigilant, from Latin vigilant-, vigilans
There is no absolute definition of a vigilante.
This is the connation leftists infer:
Vigilantism is sometimes vilified when it gives way to criminal behaviour on the part of the vigilante.
How can that be compared to MM?!
More well-known examples of criminal vigilantism include the Neo-Nazis and other hate groups.
Examples of vigilantism
Sombra Negra or "Black Shadow," a group of vigilantes, mostly retired police officers and military personnel in El Salvador, whose sole duty is to "cleanse" the country of "impure" social elements. They specifically target the MS-13 gang, and have a reputation for being extremely violent in their approach.
Again I ask how can this be compared to MM?!
Find below a link to some of the images I captured while I was there Saturday. Please overlook a few of the less focused ones as I was using a newly purchased digital camera and am still getting the hang to it.
Wow, thank you. You're welcome to post some of those on the Day 5 thread... or wait until tomorrow for the Day 6 thread.
