Armed citizens protecting their Minneapolis neighborhoods

COLUMN ONE LA Times
Armed Black group aims to serve and protect its own

By Kurtis Lee reporting from minneapolis
Before he drove to the grocery store parking lot, Romeal Taylor did the same thing he’s done every day this summer — he holstered his 9-millimeter handgun to the waistband of his gym shorts until he could feel it hug his right hip.

Probably want to truncate that and provide a link to the original story. Otherwise you're just giving Librarian more work to do

I support all law abiding citizens exercising their 2A rights to defend themselves and their property. However, I cant help but notice how the black armed citizens are treated differently in the media than white armed citizens the the same situations...they are not being called a "militia" or a "right wing group" and the article in "LA Pravda" was supportive! I guess just like in Chicago, its ok for blacks to shoot other blacks... LMAO

So sick of the media lies and bias.

1. How is anyone able keep their sweatpants from falling down carrying a gun in the waistband?

2. Good job to the writer for getting "its" correct. People don't know these days. And using an apostrophe to make a noun plural is another error I see all the time.

3. The way the writer ended the article with "She nodded and clenched her fist in a salute." was funny. Is the writer a journalist or a short storyteller?

I am happy to see law abiding gun owners organizing to defend their homes. Skin color does not matter.
I think the author of this piece used every opportunity to interject as much leftest bias as possible. That is too bad because it increases the division.

I dunno, I think I'd look out of place but feel right at home at one of their BBQ's

- like minded thinkers for 2A rights, justice/equality, and don't think the police are the enemy... Just looking to take care of and protect their community.

Sounds kinda familiar, like what a CalGuns BBQ would be like, or a "normal" get together with most of the people I know!

It was sad how the writer had a lot of bias, but that's "the news" today.

WOW, TRUTH??

Man I am from there and that is the MOST ONE SIDED STORY I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME, sounds like it could have been written by one of the Minneapolis city counsel members. Get out of MPLS and see what the average joe blow thinks of this story. Democratic because of MPLS/ST PAUL, REPUBLICAN the rest of the state
