Re: Two arrested at Austin Capitol during open carry rally
IMHO, both sides handled this poorly. The protesters obviously wanted a confrontation; they used a method that guaranteed it, in fact. However, law enforcement played right into their hands, creating a scene that made the protesters' actions appear as civil disobedience. It would seem a more prudent course of action would have been to keep the protest contained and let them talk all they want; eventually they would get tired and leave.
