lots of gun owners in that area

Even my brother-in-law is now carrying his gun with him, and he barely even took it out of the box before all this crap started. Hopefully I'm nowhere near him if he ever has to use it, because he'd probably shoot himself on accident since he's only shot it once or twice that I know of. But regardless, he's carrying now.

Has there been any proof to the rampant rumors of people being bused to various cities to protest? I've seen that rumor all over the place, but have yet to see any evidence of any organization for the bus rides, nor pics of any unloading buses or parked buses at any of the protests.

Are they just more rumors spread by scared white people?

No they are just rumors. They were swirling around Monday too and none of it was true. Spoke to a reporter up there on scene and was told it is all rumors about the buses again today and that there is nothing to substantiate them at this time.

Allegedly a few were flung during the protest Monday and that is part of what prompted the tear gas.

Someone said a rumor on Facebook. It must be true.

Believe it or not, you and I are in the same camp here. I’m not buying the “few bad apples” are bussed in.

I think it’s locals or those that live nearbye who want to scratch their anarchy itch and then some of the local “peaceful protestors” get involved due to herd mentality.

Huntsville is surrounded by some pretty isolated areas filled with people that have been living an isolated lifestyle for generations.

For the protestors sake, I hope they tread lightly in that part of the world. That could turn into a fricking bloodbath

So the police can’t stop the busses? It’s literally against the law to bus in right? Or is that just across state lines? Either way, seems like the busses could be tracked pretty easily.

I'm just glad the HPD didn't hesitate to unload tear gas when they felt it was necessary. I think they handled that protest as well as they possibly could. The protest itself went off without any major issues until most everyone had already left. It was the few stragglers after the protest had ended that got a little ornery.

There are no buses to stop. It's a dumb rumor.

You can’t let the inmates run the asylum
