• Phoenix New Times
What would happen if people on both sides carried guns to a heated
protest? Obviously, in situations like that, it might only take one
wise guy to kick off a war.
Today I'm proud of Arizona and Phoenix PD. Have I showed up at actions packing? Sure. Lots of times. I do know it adds a burden to legitimate security considerations, but humans are a constant threat to security whether armed with firearms, rocks or verbal threats.
Do you suppose that if I was running security at this show, would packers represent a point of interest to be scrupulously watched? YOU BET. I'd keep a close eyes on us, but I'd not let it distract me.
I'd be more worried about the firearm I DON'T SEE.
Whatever. To hardened liberal opposition we are all terrorists and criminals irrespective of our rights, irrespective of our actions or our lack thereof.
