Did the Allen brothers own slaves? If not, maybe they can change the city name to Allentown.

Why would one contemplate giving those fools an inch?

I am going. I'll leave Fort Worth super early and come back the same day. Sucks, but it needs to be done.

I suspect many of these pigs are not actually Texans, especially those funding this circus. I also suspect they are just trying to incite and/or provoke a riot with violence.

Isn't there a US Code that prohibits such activity? :waiting:

18 U.S. Code § 2101 - Riots

"(a) Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent—
(1) to incite a riot; or
(2) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or
(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or
(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot;
and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other overt act for any purpose specified in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of this paragraph— [1]
Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

Why aren't these maggots exposed and thrown into slammer? Soros?

Hmm.

We could threaten to change MLK or Cesar Chavez Blvd. to Robert E. Lee St. That would get their goat.

Well, we already protested against their icon back on Nov 8th.

Is this good enough? Kinda far away, disarmed and in enemy territory.


Do we all want to assemble for the upcoming event under a TexasCHLforum sign or something. I think it should turn out to be a Texas proud fest. Not what the fascists have in mind. I'll be wearing my red white and blue Texas flag shirt.

We all need to be on best behavior.

That would be a question for Mr. Cotton, it's connected to his name.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

All, I have been following the events leading up to the protest and counter-protest. I have been very determined to go to the counter-protest, and I actually just bought a mag holder to wear to the event. However, after doing some research, I really think the antifa protest is/was made by a fake account, and that there won't actually be an antifa protest at all. The facebook account that made the june 10th original event was just created 5 weeks ago, and the houston antifa page claims no ownership or affiliation with that page. Also, the Texas antifa page which made the original protest has 0 positive traffic to their page - no comments by anyone in support of their group at all. Which leads me to believe that the creators of the the "This is Texas" facebook group and the creators of the counter antifa protest are actually trolling/scamming everyone, and may even be the same people who created the Texas antifa page. Take it for what it's worth. The this is texas admins post about all this work they are doing and supplies they are buying, and state that they have been in communications with HPD, but don't provide any proof of communications with anyone. I'm in Houston and was planning on going to this, but now I think I will pass. Or maybe wait till 9:30 to see if anyone other than the "this is texas" admin posts that there are actually some antifa people there.
