It was never about eggs and groceries. In my rural redneck area they all have their own chickens and shoot or run over their entrees. It has always been about dear leader assuring them they won’t have to share society with Blacks, gays, women in authority, Hispanics, anyone not a white male.

Not going to let them do that.

I’ll call the city gov tomorrow and find out.

I’ve been looking into that now. Can’t find any record of events on the 18th.

I did the search on google. It says there is an open carry rally Saturday. Also, the local ocala paper did something on it.

This is a rural area and just about everyone has guns. They are celebrating the recently passed open carry law where they can carry in public. Publix supermarket said they will allow open carry in their stores. This doesn’t bode well for lines at the deli counter. (Kidding) It’s whole foods for me.

Last time there was a great police presence and they arrested two guys who walked up and shoved a couple people in the chest for no reason at all. Took just seconds for them to be handcuffed and arrested.

This is still a mostly rural area and people of every persuasion have guns.

patfromthestix @patfromthestix.bsky.social · 18h

The open carry rally has been advertised on facebook.

patfromthestix @patfromthestix.bsky.social · 18h

I live close by.

It's sad we have to come to this but the Republicans won't play fair ever. So someone has to fight back

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Same.

patfromthestix @patfromthestix.bsky.social · 23h

Me too.

patfromthestix @patfromthestix.bsky.social · 23h

I am hoping people don’t reconsider attending the rally. If anything, I hope even more people show up.

There is a No Kings rally on the 18th in Ocala, Florida on the town square from 9-11am. Then from 11-3 there is an open carry celebration in the same spot. I don’t know who thought this was a good idea.
