Lol. I stood on the outside of the crowd. The cigarette smoke was killing me.

I dunno, someone taking a stand is threatening to them in some way I suppose?They mentioned "appear threatening". This just shows they totally do not get it. Why would they even say "appear threatening"?
Organizers of a gun rights rally in Atlanta this weekend are being charged to gather outside the Georgia state Capitol.
Capt. Mark Perry of the Georgia Department of Public Safety confirmed Thursday that organizers were told they need to pay about $6,700 for security at a rally where the expected attendance is 500 people. A group that held a gun control rally last month was charged a similar fee.
Atlanta rally organizer Chris Hill said his group still plans to show up but has no intention of paying. He called the fee "an insult."

Hmmm. I don't seem to remember the occu-poopers ever having to cough up a single penny. I also don't believe that they secured a permit for their, well, occupation!Gun magazines? Even fishing ones??? Ditto for Outdoor Channel, etc.,,???? If they can't figure out how to not charge for this, they don't deserve to be in business. Hell, I bet BASS Mag would run the ads for free as a PSA.
$13.40 per attendee for security??? Does it come with a free pass for Avengers Infinity War or something?
I might catch some flack for this, but it's a good read:

That individual was a little... unique.And here's how participation in the rallies is spun by antis on social media.
Signs like the Healey sign, while good fodder for NES memes aren't a good choice if you're trying to sway public opinion in MA.
Maybe Iwill head over today to make the rally. Thanks for the heads up.
