“Their solution is to punish the law abiding citizens for the actions of the criminals.”
That’s always their “solution”.
It’s a sad shame... that the Texas State Fair is another tradition that has been “fundamentally transformed” into yet another failure.
I can recall how it used to be... but back in 2006 (I think that was the year) I went with my family, a group of about ten people, and if not for the people around me, I would have felt a bit afraid and threatened. It was not a pleasant experience. Loud, raucous behavior, probably from alcohol intake... and basically people acting like they ‘owned’ the fair. The crowd was mostly blacks there on that day. It felt like we’d been transported to a fair in Africa. I never went back and don’t intend to.
A similar “transformation” occurred at Six Flags AstroWorld in Houston. My friends gifted me with a yearly pass, so we went there and intended to get the yearly pass. The sign-up process was brutal. All blacks doing the processing that were very unfriendly, rude and a few even hostile. By the time I was “signed up” I was wondering what the hell I was even doing there. Never went back.
If this sounds racist to some, it is what it is. It’s also the absolute truth. I don’t dictate reality. The nation has been and still is being changed, and not for the better. If we don’t get Trump/Vance back in the WH, we are, quite literally, screwed as a “free country”.
Sounds like you went on “high school day” they hand out free passes for that day at the high schools in Dallas. I found myself on the Midway between the large crowd of ‘youths’ and a line of mounted police. I managed to squeeze my way out of there. Haven’t been back to the fair since.
Looked like they had resumed the historic practice of having a ‘Colored Day’ (some years referred to as Negro Achievement Day or Negro day - it outdrew Klan day) at the fair, and I hadn’t gotten the memo.
