The Other Side of the Constitution

"What Crime Have I Committed, Officer?"

I recently posted an article in support of teenagers who were marching for Gun Control.
My thesis was, this is their Constitutional Right, and although I do not agree with all of their arguments, I admire them for standing up in public for their free exercise of the First Amendment.

Nobody interfered with their peaceful protest.

Now we have a clear issue of whether the Second Amendment should be equally as supported and BOY HOWDY! was I surprised that it didn't receive the same public support!

Equivalent Constitutional Rights of PEACEFUL PROTESTS (First and Second amendments) are being exercised in both instances, but when the SECOND AMENDMENT is the subject, the police are all over the protesters

The protestors were openly carrying firearms (which is legal under Texas law).
Police arrested 2nd Amendment protesters, because ....

"How can I tell if you're the bad guy?

(Maybe, if they're not shooting anybody, they haven't broken a law?)

I can't find the law, I'm just telling you to obey me

Texas Freeway Shooting Spree

Some nut has been shooting at cars on a Texas freeway.

As if Texas hasn't had enough problems with idiots who can't control their temper.

Man charged with aggravated assault in I-35 shooting spree | KXAN.com: AUSTIN (KXAN) —

(November 6, 2017) Police identified a man accused of shooting at cars with an assault rifle along an 18-mile stretch of Interstate 35 Saturday morning.

Hanging is too good for this creep!

FED EX at its best:  "When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight" has nothing on these Texas Lawmen.  

BOOM, HEADSHOT! Texas Hostage Taker Smoked In Irving:

A man attempting to rob a check-cashing store in Irving, Texas, had his robbery thwarted when an employee triggered the alarm. Police quickly responded to the robbery in progress, and the handgun-armed robber decided to take a hostage. This turned out to be the worst decision of his day, and the last decision of his life. The officers simply could not let the armed robber leave the scene with his hostage.

In the unlikely chance that you haven't seen or heard about this by now ... never let anyone tell you that "First Responders" (police) are all ineffectual twits who don't know how to handle a hostage situation, or that they can't shoot.

This is one of those days when it feels really GOOD to be an American.

No, Lady, this IS Texas but that is NOT Legal Carry!

Woman with loaded handgun in vagina charged with unlawful carry in Texas | Fox News Latino: WACO, TEXAS (AP) – September 09, 2015

Police in Texas say they removed a loaded handgun from a woman's body during a cavity search.

It's amazing that only two weeks ago I was pontificating about the potential hazards of "Appendix Carry".

In this world, it doesn't pay to express your indignation; there are always "worse things".
