Gun Toting Man in Hermann Park-He Wants You To Know That He Has Rights

​







Above you see a picture I took at Hermann Park in Houston today.

On the left is a man who had a big gun and was wearing some militaristic outfit. I was keeping a good distance so I can't give better detail. A Hermann Park ranger said the gun guy was there to make sure we all know that he has the 2nd Amendment to walk around with a giant gun.

On the right is a Houston cop talking to him. I think there are in fact two officers in the picture. There were-correctly-a number of cops that showed up. 

Then you see the kid's train that circles around the park. The kids, parents, grandparents on the train got a good view of the whole thing.  It's important kids learn early that they live in a heavily-armed freak show. 

We've got a State of Texas that hassles school librarians who want to give kids some good books to read, but allows lousy people to walk around busy parks with crazy guns.      

These folks are out there further normalizing intimidation and violence. We can't yield to them.
