I assume everyone has seen the armed "protestor" following a woman to her mosque in Texas?

If not, you can find it here:

Muslimah walking to the mosque followed by an armed protestor in Texas.

Absolutely terrifying. https://t.co/uwkzqtp2pl

There is only one person in that picture who looks like a potential terrorist. It sure as hell isn't her.

WHY would anyone in a supermarket, of all the damn places, need to carry one? I think you're right about them mostly being penis extensions - but then I've seen pictures of women carrying them too, so wth?? ..... I just shake my head at this kind of thing anymore. I honest to god don't get it.

This woman's terror though - I can't even imagine. There really, really should be some kind of law.

interesting to see newspapers begin to discuss why that person is arrested for brandishing a vagina or penis, (or, eeek, nipples), but an armed bully is allowed to claim free speech and harass a person of faith.

Gonna have to disorganize those clowns if they are gonna get beat.

Love the idea - the beauty of nudity vs. the absurdity of weaponry. How about a parade of naked grandmas giving away cookies. Nothing embarrasses the masses like naked folks, but the media cannot leave it alone. While the news gladly ignores good ol' boys with guns, put a group of naked people on display and now you have a story. And old naked people destroy the Madison Avenue idea of beauty that is jammed down our throats all day long. And the butthole with the gun is nothing but a coward; afraid of people, ideas, and things he doesn't dare try to understand.

save the trees recently, a bunch took off their clothes and handcuffed(?) themselves to a tree. Where they had no attention before, they got their issue to the front page with that.

Having been around this game called the United States for several decades now, I laugh at the adolescent incompetence of people who complain they have no news coverage for their candidate or their issue - they have NO idea how powerful they are, and how much that decision is in their own hands.

The media is one of the best avenues for change that there is, but many people would rather whine and complain than do what is necessary, or be effective. Although they are easier, there are no excuses good enough if one wants results. If you want to be on the news, make yourself newsworthy. And if you didn't get on there, it's your own damn fault.

a number of people called the police, alerting them to a guy walking down the street, brandishing weapons. dispatch said that since this is an open carry state, he was breaking no laws (well, up until he started killing people)

and then watch the cries of anti-Christian persecution color the airwaves, or even watch the shoot-outs begin between the parishioners and the gunmen. I suspect the church-goers wouldn't simply just peacefully keep attending their services under such a situation.
