The guy who made the video is pro-BLM, but his is the best video I've found of the event.
Here is a facebook post from someone who was there:
Want to know how to promote hatred? I certainly saw it this evening. Have a protest rally.
Antifa as I suppose they are called came over from the Metroplex around 5:30 or so. They were met by about 100 AR-15s, several dozen shotguns of various types And hundreds of people carrying semi automatic pistols. Police were there but we're far outnumbered by citizens. I'm not sure the protesters expected this.
The sad part is to me that most of the protesters were young stupid kids that don't know their butt from a hole in the ground. See pictures.
After Antifa showed up the party was kinda over because I don't think they liked about 500 or more guns ready to be pointed their way. The police and SWAT got on the loud speaker and told everyone to disperse immediately or be arrested. They gladly left the scene as did we, just after the crowd sang She Na Na Na Goodbye to the protesters.
If this ever happens here again I hope ALL of you will come to show these people that they need to stay in Dallas Houston New York Seattle Portland or wherever else they can get by with this infantile crap, foul language and irrational behavior. (See the signs) Rural Texas is not the place to do it.
They may or may not admit it but I believe our police were glad we were there. Not sure what the protesters would have done if we had not been. I have no idea. I also hope and pray they are smart enough (I fear they are not) to never do it again.
With the exception of a couple of protesters getting decked by a couple of guys for blocking traffic, I saw no more blood shed.
In my opinion, it is factual that if they make a wrong move, or say the wrong thing to the wrong person, next time could be very different.
The feeling I had was that a bomb was ticking but it just didn't go off....this time.
