Joyce Vance:Imagine if this was reversed & black men holding big guns lined the side of a protest

Imagine if this was reversed & black men holding big guns lined the side of a protest being conducted by white people. Unlikely the police would just stand by & watch

Those people were horrible to us, a group of usually four to ten senior citizens, who stood holding antiwar signs on a corner of their town square every week for years. The things those kids must have heard coming from those lunatics were horrific, I'm sure.

I keep seeing these thugs holding the pistol grips with their finger above the trigger. That is the ready position.

showed up at protests. The protest was peaceful. Decatur is a cool area of Atlanta.

Personally, I think it just incites ignorant white wing gun-humpers. But, the New Black Panthers have a better reason than racists to carry, and I trust them infinitely more than rubes.
