A group of gun owners and gun rights advocates celebrated Independence Day on Thursday by marching on the headquarters of the Houston Police Department while carrying an array of shotguns and assault rifles. According to the Washington Examiner, the group was organized via Facebook and numbered about 25 attendees.
“It’s Independence Day — where it all started,” said shotgun toting protester Jenn Kroll, to the Houston Chronicle. “What better day to show our rights?”
“If you don’t use your rights, they can take them away,” Ed Aldredge of Sugar Land said. Aldridge brought along his 11-year-old son, Austin, who carried a .22-caliber rifle. ("Use your rights?" Is this guy actually advocating using his piddly little boom stick to fight the government?)
The crowd, composed of mostly middle aged and older white men, dubbed the protest the “Come and Take it Away Freedom Walk” and after an hour or so of marching and posing for photos with their guns, the group decamped to nearby Tony’s Barbecue, a restaurant chosen by the group because it let them bring in their weapons.
Let me just say as a man, how ashamed I am of my gender when I see these cowardly little fucks.
Most real men are not so terrified of the world that they feel the need to arm themselves like Rambo going back into Vietnam. You can tell the real men by the fact that they respect the laws, act goofy with their kids, and demonstrate respect for the females in their life.
Anybody who has to do something like this is simply a little boy who hopes that owning big boy toys will make him seem more macho. When in fact it has the opposite effect.

"If you don't use your rights they can take them away??" WTF?
ReplyDeleteThey don't work like airline miles or purchase points, dumbshit!
Lol
DeleteI'm trying to figure out how we women can 'use our right' to determine how many children we want...
Deletemiddle-aged and older white men. Yeah, with an average tonnage of 300 pounds.
ReplyDeleteAnd in great need of bras.
DeleteH O Gs.... or what I called Baldy's Base! LOL!!
DeleteLimited education, poor diet choices, sedentary lives, impacted intestines add up to beastly male lifeforms appearing to be in the midst of their third trimester.
Delete...and who haven't seen their little friends below their beltlines in ages...
DeleteJust imagine a concurrent parade of African Americans in their vicinity! These idiots would have gone off the deeper end and who knows how they would respond?
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. What is happening to our country? In Seattle a 21-year old Montana man was arrested this weekend driving a stolen truck with a small arsenal. At his bail bond hearing it was determined his intent was to go on three Seattle campuses and do harm. He also said he was a supporter of the Bolivian uprising. WTH? There appears to be a serious breakdown of rational thought among some men these days. I am so happy the men in my world are loving, sane and emotionally healthy.
And the guy who brought a rifle to the family fun center in Vancouver was upset that he was arrested.
DeleteBecause it's SO easy to tell if someone is a good guy with a gun or a bad guy with a gun.
Actually, the guy was from Las Vegas, had been staying with a Montana resident and stole his truck and various ammo.
Delete4:51 p.m. I love your comment!
ReplyDeleteThese clowns remind me of twelve year old kids smoking cigarettes because they think it makes them look grown up. If you think the big bad world is such a scary place and you're afraid to walk down the street, then go ahead, get some training and a concealed carry permit and then carry your weapon concealed like it should be so you don't scare the shit out of people going about their business. No, and I mean NO responsible gun owner would ever do the kind of pathetic, stupid shit that these idiots are doing.
ReplyDeleteAh, but it's legal in Texas. And elsewhere too. And if it's legal, they are going to act like bullies and show up with their guns. I do feel sorry for the 11 year old...the boy doesn't have a prayer of growing up normally.
DeleteHow is it no one interpreted them as staging a coup outside? How did none of them get taken down by the cops or SWAT? WE, and No ONE knows these are 'good guys' with guns.
DeleteHoly shit.
Many years ago my brother was in the Marines. While on leave in Honolulu, he was attacked by a gang of 4 hoodlums – and he was unarmed. He came out of it easily and unscathed by doing jujitsu on them: he turned their strength against them. He never felt the need to carry a weapon; his brain was his weapon.
DeleteThey are so afraid...
ReplyDeleteI think they are afraid of women...
the power of a woman...
which makes their idolization of Ms Palin so bizarre...
and her taking on of the warrior goddess archetype so perverse...
They don't look like a "well regulated militia" to me.
ReplyDeleteThey look more like the crowd you would find at the 'all you can eat buffet'.
What an excellent description of these men ---- "small penis club". They are probably also apt to be very possessive of their women who probably have suffered domestic violence.
ReplyDeleteI think it may have been a joint meeting of the "small penis club" and the "can't see your willy without a mirror club."
DeleteO/T....I wonder if this is going to be Baldy/RAM's next FB post?
ReplyDeleteA book is out called "This Town"...it's about Washington DC bigwigs...several names are mentioned that are connected to Baldy. The book has an Unauthorizd Index and Baldy....the Toad and Beefy are mentioned.
Krusty the Krazy mentioned it at the Asylum....I wonder if she was paid by BaldyPac to mention it....here's the link to the article and the link to the Unauthorized Index...

They sure as hell wouldn't be mistaken for the local MENSA.
ReplyDeleteIt's all they have and it is their moment in the sun.
ReplyDeleteAnd, what also makes their idolization of our little hermaphrodite so bizarre is that all of her metaphors and analogies are centered on male castration. She really hates her daddy!!
But frankly, who would want to be in the Heath household on worm-check night!!!
O/T Gryphen but Baldy must be writing her own FB post AGAIN! This one is even more sickening and stupid than that last rambling bullshit one she had about boats and beating halibuts!
ReplyDeleteHere's the link to the crap...

Two brownie points for "George Orwell, now we have "Boatghazi"!
DeleteIS RAM on a Cruise or All You Can Eat Buffet Tour?
One memorable quote from the Scolder in Chief:
Delete"One lesson taught all children is if you lie on the little things, you'll lie on the big things." That means that Sarah will telling us all about Trig's real mother and Todd's extra curricular activities. It's finally time for Sarah to admit that she was not exonerated in Troopergate; she was found to have abused her office, and she allowed her husband to have access to use her office as well. A breath of fresh air; Sarah is going to be telling the truth. Because, you know what they teach little children.....How is Trig, anyway?
The more I see of the typical man in groups like this, the more I think he's compensating for a truly crappy life.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet he has a dead-end job he hates with a boss who demeans him on a daily basis. He hasn't had a raise in years and won't get one any time soon.
His wife tolerates him and only (reluctantly) agrees to have sex once a month, passively lying there, looking bored, and mentally writing the grocery list until he finally grunts and rolls his ample heft off of her.
His kids alternately ignore and sass him and, on the rare occasion they make eye contact, look at him with thinly veiled contempt.
His neighbors all have better houses, better cars and better jobs than he does and he's never QUITE been accepted into the community.
He has so little opportunity to feel good about himself that he jumps at the chance to feel like a man by flaunting a rifle for the news cameras.
Pitiful and dangerous.
Sarah putzing with the dogies (Wallow & Beefy).
DeleteWow, you are truly being generous in your description of this dude. I pictured him living with his parents in a trailer park. His source of sexual gratification coming from illicit internet sites and magazines. His intimate relationship from five finger Betsy. His job, at the In and out Burger joint. Either way, he doesn't look like a very happy, or fulfilled individual.
DeleteAs if the Houston PD had enough problems keeping the peace. These flatlanders probably never brought down game. The long barrels satisfy their stroking needs.
ReplyDeleteThese guys make me want to kick them in their fat, white-ass bellies! What friggin' idiots and there are many of their kind nationwide.
ReplyDeleteAs the Tundra Turd would say, "Limp and impotent." Surely tiny, two-toned turd was there.
ReplyDeleteYou'll shoot you eye out with that thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's why we can't have nice things.
DeleteToday's anthropology lesson: Neanderthals and Us.
ReplyDeleteScientists now know that Neanderthals evolved in Africa and migrated into Europe maybe 230 million years ago. Homo Sapiens evolved later in Africa and eventually migrated into Europe as well. DNA studies suggest interbreeding as recently as 37,000 years ago. Today, virtually every person of European descent has a small percentage of Neanderthal DNA. Individuals whose ancestors hail back to Africa, with no stopovers in Europe, have no Neanderthal DNA.
So there you have it, a scientific basis for why gun nuts have short penises.

OOPS a Daisy, also Too!
ReplyDelete"the group decamped to nearby Tony’s Barbecue, a restaurant chosen by the group because it let them bring in their weapons."
ReplyDeleteSNORT!
Someone actually called around?
What? Doesn't Paula Deen have a restaurant near Houston?
No, they didn't have to call around. They knew in advance that they could bring their guns. Those fat fucks plan their next meal before they finish eating the current grazing expedition.
DeleteInstead of having a cigarette after sex, these broke-dicks get together for a group gap-off to their collective gun cache. Immediately following, the herd waddles down to closest pig traugh to replenish their steady diet of lard,trans fats, and cholesterol.
Fat, delusional, paranoid, compulsive group-fappers with penis envy = America's gun goons.
That's just silly. These fat fucks don't have ANYTHING after sex, because they don't have sex! They haven't seen their penises since 3rd grade.
DeleteAw, come on, Gryphen, take a look at Palin's latest tantrum(s) on her facebook. Of course Kerry doesn't go out on his boat all alone, completely out of touch with the rest of the world. He is always in contact in case Sarah wants to call him at 3 AM (or anytime). Palin seems to have a problem with Kerry and Obama taking some time off. They are always in touch, more in touch than she will ever be.
ReplyDeleteI tried to infiltrate the gun march in Houston, but wasn't allowed to join at first because I wasn't carrying an AR15 and I was dressed in business attire. I told them that I had a CCW permit and was packing, plus I had a knife in my new boots (*Texas-style businesswear).
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd sneaked in when one of the big fat security guys directed me over to a table that had a ruler nailed to it. He told me to whip it out and he'd complete the registration process for me. "What? You want me to pull out my dick to march? "
"No, stupid, just to get registered." I noticed that there was a red line on the ruler at the 4-inch line, marked by a sharpee, so I unzipped Trou and pulled out enough to extend to about 8 inches on the measuring ruler. "Is that enough or do you want me to pull it all out? Hey, are we gonna Teabagger somebody?"
Fat boy looked at me kind of disgusted, and called for two other gun nuts to throw my ass out. I asked, "WTF did I do wrong?". He said, "Nuthin yet, but with a dick that size you ain't no conservative, and sure as hell don't have a need for one of these AR15 penis extensions."
She's talking about Charlie the dog that the Palins terrorize, notp a calf. She's such a dumbass. Someone please show her how to use Google.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the misspelling/mispronunciation of this common phrase is risible.
ReplyDeleteHer pat on the head to CBS, one OF THE LAMESTREAM media, is, too. Just before she thanks CBS, she tells her sheep to turn off any media outlets that lie. By her former statements, none of them would have been listening to CBS when it made its revelation. But now we know that Sarah can't stay away from the lamestream.
Poor George Orwell, an intellectual giant, misused twice in two days by Our Sarah. She really, really, really needs to step away from her Bartlett's Book of Quotations and read some Orwell -- Homage to Catalonia, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier, Burmese Days. And on and on. He lived just 50 short years but accomplished so much that his thoughts are fresh and pertinent today. But not just in the soundbites Sarah uses to make herself feel smart.
John Kerry came back from a long and grueling Mideast diplomatic mission on Wednesday, spent the Fourth of July with his family, as he's allowed to do, was completely in touch with Egyptian developments, and went back to work the next day. The State Dept. staff who were on duty during the holiday clearly weren't very senior and didn't check when they issued a denial. Anyway, who cares?
Sarah uses her combination of code words for battle and rebellion along with prettier words: beautiful, liberty, etc. to make a word salad that's toxic. She's constantly pushing for conflict and war, here she's advocating class warfare. None of her speeches are without this empty bullying rhetoric, as well as her constant, repetitive mocking of the President.
She's for basketball until she's against it. She can play, but he can't.
Other IMers can dissect her FB rant when you post it, Gryphen. She was really, really angry in this one. She found one little fact to worry to death, like a junk yard dog, and, from it, made a huge, ugly mountain out of that tiny molehill. She's on a roll. Watch out.
You'll note that columnists and editorial writers on Friday wrote interesting articles about Egypt, with facts and opinions that can be debated and accepted or rejected.
ReplyDeleteSarah can't possibly write a policy statement on the uprising in Egypt, its sources, its outcome, and what American policy should be now.
Instead, as usual, Sarah ignores the hard facts of the case, and, instead, jeers and sneers from the sidelines, with one-line, wink-wink, jabs (Kerry went swift-boating, as an example). More tripe about what Mama Grizzlies do (evidently they punish us when we lie, as good Mamas do, only with jaws of steel and deadly claws).
If only we had an H.L. Mencken writing today, to take her down to size, with style. Look him up, Sarah. Or if Orwell were alive, what he would say to her would blister her Grizzly snout. He isn't your friend, Sarah.
Next time, I'd like to see her use her bully pulpit on FB to write a clear, comprehensive, serious piece on the issues of the day. Her lightweight screeds show her to be nothing but a loser, a sore loser.
I'm sure we'll be treated this weekend to more of the same -- five minutes of angry, snide, repetitive comments, instead of thoughtful analysis and a plan for American foreign relations.
"Bully pulpit"?
DeleteMore like SILLY pulpit.
What happened to that small-dicked loser Kokesh who was going to lead a march on Washington yesterday?

I will bet you all these men where captured on surveillance camera. Houston is not Anchorage...
ReplyDeleteSomeone is definitely paying attention.....
Oy, vey.
ReplyDeleteYes, fellers, flaunting your firearms in public DOES make your penis look smaller. It makes your butt look bigger, also, too.
pffttt

Have to admit, my first impression when seeing the guy in the white hat at the top of your post was, "Is that George Zimmerman?"
ReplyDeleteAnd yet a black man in a beret at a polling place is an invasion by the New Black Panther party.
