Violent Racists Swarm Protest in Weatherford TX (Graphic)

There are videos of violent racists attacking protesters in Weatherford. These videos are like nothing we've seen, yet. What is going on in North Texas, y'all?

I posted this on the the Texas forum this morning... 2:30 in the morning. I didn't expect it to go viral and it has. It's been crazy today. I've been contacted by other blogs, local news, activists, and a whole slew of angry rednecks. I've had to contact the FBI over some of the threats I've seen towards protesters. This day has been a whirlwind.

But since I know 2:30AM isn't the best time to be seen by everyone. I thought I'd share this in general discussion now, too.

Things are getting intense in Texas

And, while it gets blurred, I zoomed in and it appears to have threads.
Like some giant wood screw with a handle.
We have an icepick in the kitchen drawer, and it's way thinner than what that idiot is holding.
Also, notice the other fool. He's floating his hand around the trigger.
Those tools were really looking to hurt someone.

Essentially a commercial version of a prison shank. Used for "silent" kills. Push it in below an ear and not much can be done for the person. And what is happening in TX is a preview of what's to come.

They didn't give me credit, but I don't care. The protesters in that town need a spotlight on them, because they're going back this coming Saturday and every Saturday until it gets removed

I'm so happy it's being picked up. Texas is going nuts. I can tell you 4 towns with an hour drive from Dallas that have had these violent protest episodes in the last week. It is getting nuts down here
