Racial tensions in South Dallas almost exploded at an anti-mosque protest Saturday afternoon before quickly dissolving when the protesters retreated.
A few hundred South Dallas residents, mostly black, flooded Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to oppose a planned demonstration by a mostly white group that routinely protests outside mosques.
Both sides were armed.
Dallas police stood guard on a funeral home’s roof as black counterprotesters swarmed the parking lot of Eva’s House of Bar-B-Q, vowing to defend their streets and chanting “black power.”
“This is what they fear — the black man,” said activist Olinka Green. “This is what America fears.”
The anti-mosque group showed up in camouflage, carrying guns and an American flag, FOX 4 reported. They left soon after and the protests ended without incident.
I guess those Islamophobic protesters don't feel like such bad ass Rambo types if the other side brings their guns out as well.
Isn't having EVERYBODY armed one of their favorite talking points?
You know, though it might seem counter intuitive, this kind of a response might actually keep somebody from being shot as it will intimidate these candy ass ammosexuals into skipping the next protest.
