When I watch this video it pisses me off how the anger trickles to a simmer at the end. I think about how in the past in order to get the government to do what is right requires people to do what most think is wrong. I see in this video over 100 people at the door to the Senate floor and only 2 Texas troopers blocking the way.
Did blacks play by the rules to get civil rights? Do you just bend over when the police say so and go sit at the back of the bus?
Maybe, just maybe, we need to break some rules to make government do what we want it to do. Because even this protest didn't change their minds.
"When the government is scared of it's people, that's liberty. When the people are scared of it's government, that's tyranny."
The government IS NOT scared of it's people.
To apply this also to gun rights. When open carriers were "playing by the rules" California took away open carry of handguns.
Just saying.
