Race-Baiting Open Carry Advocates to March through 5th Ward in Houston for Juneteenth

In what they say is an effort to "show that gun rights belong to all" members of the open carry movement will walk through the 5th ward on Sunday -- a predominantly African American area of Houston settled by former slaves just after the Civil War. The Facebook event claims the event will be a "canned food drive" and donations will be given to the "First Missionary Baptist Church."

"...white people think that most young blacks are just thug a$$ed pieces of $hlt! Prison and home life are no different for most of them...

So, if the people of that neighborhood feel threatened and attack these open carry people will the people of the neighborhood be able to claim Stand Your Ground?

As a result of the Open Carry people planning a walk through 5th Ward on Juneteenth I am beginning to believe what some others at DU have said about these people; they are insecure and need to walk around with their guns in order to feel strong.
