Armed protesters peacefully march on Oklahoma Governor's Mansion [View all]
Armed protesters peacefully march on Oklahoma Governor's Mansion
Between 150 and 200 protesters peacefully marched from the Ralph Ellison Library to the Governor's Mansion on Saturday to deliver a double-barreled message.
“We aren’t going to allow people to come into our communities and brutalize us,” event organizer Omar Chatman said before the event. “If you come into our community, know we are armed.”
The 1000 Brothers and Sisters in Arms protest might not have approached its eponymous numbers, but it bore enough artillery to pop the National Rifle Association's buttons.
Community organizer Michael Washington was among the speakers who said the march was a response to the recent killings of Black men by police as well as local cases they want reopened.

It seems none of them were shot; I am quite sure it has been repeatedly predicted a rally like this would be gunned down. (also I have not seen any comments on about the size of the protesters genitals)
