I had to think about something. There was an event similar to the march that was planned. It was in Toledo,OH. Neo-Nazis marched through a Black neighborhood in Toledo. End result? Riots.

I find it highly ironic that an open-carry march would be taking place in a Black neighborhood, especially when it is basically Whites marching. This is why. While Blacks might commit 1/2 of the murders in the USA, 9 times out of 10, it is Blacks getting killed. Blacks killing Blacks is basically what takes place in the 5th ward. If anyone should be the most concerned for their own safety, it is the Blacks who live in that neighborhood.

I would say that this would-be march was just race-baiting, and the response that would have come from such, well, let's just say look at what happened in Toledo,OH when Neo-Nazis marched through a Black neighborhood.

A better question is this. Why not just march through downtown Houston or a more neutral,but frequented part of the city? Why specifically pick a Black neighborhood?

How is a group of Neo-Nazi racists marching through a black community in Toledo OH in any way similar to a group of multicultural pro-rights, pro-defense guys marching through a Houston black community in any way similar?

It's the exact opposite thing in fact, they aren't in any way similar and they have the exact opposite goal.

It doesn't really matter, if nobody is going to show up. They never do.

They specifically picked the 5th ward because SJL is the representative for this gerrymandered area and she's an openly anti-gun moron (aka Democrat).

If nobody ever showed up this wouldn't be a story, unfortunately you are wrong yet again. We've seen quite a few stories about OCT in the news lately because they have showed up to their events in large numbers.

People with resources to fight back.

Reminds me of the Orangemen marches in Northern Ireland - Protestants marching, quote often through Catholic neighborhoods, to - ehm - "commemorate" a 17th century battle where it just so happened that the Protestants won and the Catholics lost. At least they just carry butler hats and a smug look.

The Orangemen found out the IRA knows how to make very effective anti-personnel bombs and blew the **** out of several such parades!

The purpose is to assert the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I hope this trend grows everywhere.
