One of the few times we agree with the NBPP------Open carry advocates march in South Dallas

Open carry advocates march in South Dallas | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth:
"DALLAS — It's their version of community policing — the community arming itself against police.
"Open Carry Texas all the time gets a pass," said organizer Charles Goodson.
"We hope that the same applies to us, and there is no contradiction from the Dallas power structure."
Just like the Open Carry Texas demonstrations that have been controversial in North Texas and around the country, this was one was, too.
The group of about 30 men and women walked along the street near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X boulevards.
It included members of the Dallas New Black Panther Party and the Huey P. Newton Gun Club.
Like other open carry demonstrators, they marched with weapons out in the open, getting some of the same startled reactions.
"He was kind of scared," said a woman who was leaving Elaine’s Kitchen with her son. "We didn’t know what was going on."
This message wasn’t just about the Second Amendment right to bear arms; it was also about calling attention to police brutality in Dallas and across the country."
