    Default There is no such thing as an armed protester

    This is not a partisan statement. There is no such thing as an armed protester. If you are openly carrying a weapon, and demanding a change, you are making an implicit threat. There is also no such thing as a armed panhandler. If you ask for money, it is panhandling. If you point a gun at someone, and ask for money, it is armed robbery. The victim does not need to reject your "request" and risk being shot.

    We are seeing more and more of these "open carry protests" where terrorists carry guns to try to make change. Make no mistake about it, threatening with a gun to change a system is terrorism.

    In Arkansas, Alt Right/KKK "protesters" pointed guns at unarmed protesters threatening to murder them... BUT, also a BLM "protester" carried a flamethrower to counter threaten racist protesters. Neither is "protesting" in my book. This is all going in a very bad direction.

    Maybe I am just old school, but non-violent protesters like John Lewis were able to change systems without resorting to violence. He was beaten with everything from baseball bats to chains, without hitting back. It showed the violent racists for what they were, violent racists. The violent racists were not just one side in sectarian violence.
