OMG - a black man with a gun, he must be a criminal. If he was white I doubt it would be the same.

Maybe next protest a thousand people need to show up with their ARs and peacefully demonstrate?

Oh, but then the military/police will say they are outgunned and need tanks to patrol the cities.


Well that is the plan. Police can't control their cities, bring in the military.

Dallas is going to bring in Martial Law. Pay attention, you have protests starting to get out of control throughout the country. It's really picking up speed, 3 events in two days.

No one was "falsely accused" of being the shooter.

You wouldn't say that the country is starting to get a wee bit rickety?

I thought open carry meant you could carry your loaded weapon. Is that not true?

You're not paying attention. I think Alex Jones is ridiculous.

Famous last words, " that can't happen", than it does.

I realize you're in FL, but still you can learn to do some critical thinking.

Things are getting out of control and at a much faster pace. Guess you're not familiar with "order out of chaos".

Yes, best not to think or question anything.

Local ordinances vary:
State, local 'open carry' laws can contradict each other - San Antonio Express-News

I personally think it's stupid to transport a loaded rifle, but that's just me.

What exactly is happening?

Some idiots are engaging in mass shootings? What's new about that?

Some cops are shooting blacks and blacks are protesting? what's new about that?

Some cops were killed? Sure, horrible incident but it's not the first or the worst mass shooting. Sandy Hook is the worst shooting so far and no one back then was claiming the whole country was at war.

Brainless people who think that most blacks are now gonna start shooting cops need to get a life or visit their psychiatrist for more medication. These were obviously the actions of some mentally ill people, no different than other shooters or snipers we have had in the past.

It's beyond stupid but some people feel safer that way.

Oh wow, it must be a Texas thing.

Look, I'm from AZ and I'm used to seeing guns all the time. Over here you can open carry or CCW. It's not a big deal.

The only ordinary citizen to ever impress me was a very tall, long haired Apache man in Wilcox, AZ who carried his old fashioned, long cylinder magnum at the hip. I don't know why, but that man commanded more respect than that clown in Dallas.

I don't see the purpose, the usefulness, or the good judgement. The guy was either taunting or seeking notoriety. He turned himself in in order to stay alive.

He wasted the police's time and effort at a crucial time. The police really didn't need that clown in the mix
