A Safe, Orderly, Peaceful Coming Together In Texas In Support Of Steve Doeung

I've been getting messages from Texans heading to Thursday's CARO Support Rally in downtown Fort Worth, concerned that the Rally will somehow be disrupted by the City of Fort Worth.

One party asked me if events spin out of control, would I help her escape, due to having a very important appointment that afternoon that she would prefer not missing due to being tasered and in jail.

And then, a mother, who is bringing her pre-teen daughter to the Support Rally, told me her daughter asked if they might be sprayed by water hoses. February was Black History month and so the pre-teen had learned of some of the Civil Rights Fight type bad doings by those in authority back in those ugly days.

Permits for large protests or marches are required in some jurisdictions, like New York City and America's capital, and others. Permits are required for large demonstrations, with the protesters having to estimate the size of the crowd, so the city knows how many police to assign to stifle the dissent, I mean, keep law and order.

Thursday morning Steve Doeung has a date in court in his Battle with Chesapeake Energy. People have come together to support Steve Doeung and to make certain he is no longer fighting this battle alone.

The right to assemble is one of our rights, you know, in that part of the U.S. Constitution known as the Bill of Rights. The right to assemble was considered, by the Founding Fathers, to be part of Free Speech, and a vital part of the preservation of Freedom in a Democracy.

Texans armed with cell phones and cameras will be at the CARO Rally. Should there be any bad behaviors, by authorities, such as were committed in Fort Worth in the raid on the Rainbow Lounge, it will go global before the day is done.

And, might I add, way back in time, a short while before 1776, some guys in Boston decided they were not all that happy with the British and a new tax. So, a group got together and threw a lot of tea into Boston Harbor. This is known as the Boston Tea Party. It's sort of an American tradition.

Those long ago teabaggers attained no permits to exercise what was then only their God-given right to protest, that was codified, about 15 years later, into the United States Constitution.

And, also remember, things did not go all that well, for the British, after the Boston Tea Party.
