At a news conference today, Texas Gov Abbott stated he’s deployed thousands of TXDPS officers and hundreds of TX National Guard across the state to assist local PDs.

Property owners will take care of it...

Also, if you're an out of stater caught fomenting violence and looting you're in trouble.

After that ridiculous speech by the Houston Chief of Police, he'll see bowing to the rioters won't help. They're black, and man-bun snowflakes, and hate Latinx.

i remember seeing the signs, "don't mess with texas" on the highway entering texas. this is going back a long, long time ago. i hope that's still the case. some of the cities seemed to have gne hard left since then. it's a damn shame.

Following a weekend of protests across the country, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday announced that any criminal protesters who come to Texas from out of state will be subject to federal prosecution.

Austin, Dallas, Houston And San Antonio are left strongholds.
Fort Worth is holding strong(er) and the rest of Texas is still “don’t mess with Texas”.

Thank you for the pin! Time will tell. It’s still pretty early.

thanks op. stay safe. green for you.

Lol, that was a campaign to reduce littering.

True! But it does catch the spirit of Texas...beside the fact that litter and trash can come in many forms...

I’m actually shocked that Houston is considered left, as the general population is absolutely conservative. Immigrants, however..

Even the elderly (who are most likely to vote) are conservative, as their often tied to oil. Definitely some corruption in regards to voting.


As a Houstonian, I have to say I’m proud of how they’re handling the situation. The riots are significantly tamer than most other impacted metropolises, and suburbs are incredibly tight-knit in regards to offering defensive support. Most of my neighbors have 4-5 firearms ready to go at a moment’s notice, and that’s after lending out weapons for home defense.

North of Humble here. Hope it stay quiet. I'm taking a nap just in case it pops off tonight.

They are doing “protests” in the North Fort Worth suburbs tonight.

Not so much the people but the city leadership. I agree the Texas people are mainly solid across the state. That’s what keeps it great!

Protests ongoing in Dallas, Arlington and Fort Worth. Peaceful right now...but the suns up...

Last night in Arlington they were across the street from Cowboy Stadium raiding the Walmart...not sure they’ll make it into Jerry’s World...aka The Death Star...aka Cowboy Stadium.

Houston, we have a scumbag reject dirtbag loser problem.

Sell out. They are using your people. The same people they want behind a wall. Pathetic !

Capped, just in case

Greg Abbot has told us to arm our selves.

I wonder if there are random piles of bricks, rocks and bottles with karosene around the city like they have been doing in other cities?

I looked around my neighborhood for that, but haven’t seen any. One protest is supposed to happen at the high school across the street.

Careful there...TX HB 1177 permits it only when evacuating a disaster area.

the person carries the handgun while:
(A) evacuating from an area following the
declaration of a state of disaster under Section 418.014,
Government Code, or a local state of disaster under Section
418.108, Government Code, with respect to that area; or
(B) reentering that area following the person's
evacuation;
(2) not more than 168 hours have elapsed since the
state of disaster or local state of disaster was declared, or more
than 168 hours have elapsed since the time the declaration was made
