Texas open-carry leader uses Facebook to call for armed takeover of Washington

"SNIP....................


Saturday the president of a Texas open-carry group called for like-minded followers to join him in marching on Washington to “arrest the bankers, crooked politicians and restore liberty here in our country” at gunpoint.

Saying that voting “is not working,” Kory Watkins, president of the Open Carry Tarrant County, wrote on his Facebook page: “Have you ever thought we might just need to organize a very large group of our own people. Like 200 from each state so we can march armed to DC take over the city, arrest the bankers, crooked politicians and restore liberty here in our country? I’m not scared. I mean really…..voting and waiting is not working!”

Watkins recently made the news when he posted on Facebook that he was involved in a car crash with a drunk driver as he returned from protesting at a DUI safety checkpoint set up by Arlington police.

Watkins had reportedly been warning motorists about the checkpoint while shouting “You criminals!” at officers as they stopped drivers.

I wonder how the police will take him down?

involving afternoon tea with attorneys present and perhaps a friendly game of backgammon and cigars afterward.

Then officers will apologize for disturbing his day and ask nothing more about it.

Meanwhile, a black guy suspected of illegal parking will have his house blown up with hand grenades and a SWAT rappelled in to arrest him at submachine-gun-point.
