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. There’s a great song about “Abilene”…. prettiest place I’ve ever seen, people there don’t treat you so mean … in Abilene.” Let’s 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.

Pictures please and a report on the highlights.

Vigilance

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?!

From Wikipedia

I wish it was me but I'm still here in CA, relaying reports from the Caravan to FR.

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.
