Poster Comment:
Won't see clashes in Texas because most Texans are conservatives and have a brain that actually works and the fact that probably 85-90% of them are conceal carry....it is just a matter of time before these paid Soros protestors get hurt or killed ..... they are asking for it and you need to think about what you ask for, you might get it.
