BLM / Plano - Disruption and confrontations

Dumb question: I don’t know a thing about the area where this is happening but is there an alternative route to get around the blockade?

Once you're in a jam, there aren't a ton of ways out... and traffic up there can be quite heavy.

If you know in advance, like it is on Waze, sure. But once there is a car behind you, it is pretty hard to move around. This was an access road at an intersection, so it got jammed up pretty fast.

Maybe we need to send a link to that video to each Republican house and senate member and perhaps there is time in Texas to pass a bill about immunity in this type of situation. Perhaps also get rid of pussy cops not big enough to enforce current law. People with a medical emergency could have died in that situation.

And this is also why Permitless Carry needs to pass.

Here's the location, from what I can tell... (I know a LOT of location hints from my job)

Chick-fil-A · 8724 Preston Rd, Plano, TX 75024

★★★★★ · Fast food restaurant

goo.gl

It's right next to a Chick-Fil-A / shopping center, and across from mall on the opposite corner of the highway, so definitely they were strategizing for maximum impact, and that's a VERY high traffic volume location.

That bill they are discussing, only seems to impose a penalty if they impede an emergency vehicle. That's bullshit in part. No, they shouldn't be allowed to obstruct an emergency vehicle for sure, and yes, it should be a felony with mandatory jail time, but what about the rest of us? We should be blocked from being able to use public roads by protesters? Wrong!

It should be a felony for obstructing traffic, regardless of who it is.

florida did it right

I find it disturbing that several protesters went after the man with cameras saying they were gonna get his license plate number. Info that would allow them to find out where he lives. I’m well armed, but I still would not want this group of terrorists to know where I live.

Given that it was a short video clip, did more police show up to disburse the protest?

It has been flying for years. This particular group have been protesting for weeks, since the guy died at the jail.

So how long are we going to stand down and play defense? Let's put those who are organizers and leaders begin to get out the word for action... LEGAL ACTION.

LEGAL..ACTION..

Analog Kid · May 9, 2021

DO WE HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS TO PROTEST BACK AT THEM?? IF NOT, THEN WE CAN CLOSE THE THREAD NOW. THANK YOU. ENJOY YOUR DAY.

Go to the intersection and play country music as loud as possible. They'll go away.

Agh, That's what I'm worried about. Too close to Desoto around here and I personally know a ton of people that are going to evict as soon as possible. It'll be a disaster in the making if it happens all on the same day.

I already know the answer to this, but why the hell arent these people working again? Everything is opened back up
