What if this was not a middle-aged white guy?

This Nashvillian promotes the gun culture and the culture of deadly violence by openly and notoriously carrying large firearms in public.  Of all the causes that should be trumpeted for the greater good, the NRA-Remington-Smith&Wesson-Your Congressman is wholly unworthy.

He says that the cops now know who he is and what's his game, and they pretty well leave him alone. 


But, imagine this were a young man, or a young man with long hair, or an African-American man.  Do you think he would even be alive by now, to parade in front of Hillsboro High School and make a statement about his rights?
