Miguel has a post you really should read

Read the story he links to then read what he has written. Please do it in that order. Read the link first, then read his post.
And then seriously think about your responsibilities if you carry a firearm.

Bar Bouncers attack customers and when the cops show up they arrest the customers.
I found this from Miguel's blog, but I've interviewed Carlos who is trying to get this as wide a publicity as possible.
I'll give you the link to Carlos' pos about the incident:
Florida Bar Bouncers Caught on Video Attacking Customers; Police Show Up and Arrest Customers
I watched the video over a dozen times, pausing and playing multiple times.
Mr. Coelho has his arms around a blond woman, his friend Mr.Parker appears to be moving a chair behind him. when the large bouncer a Mr. Jovan Tut Dean comes up behind him and places him in a stranglehold and takes him to the ground. Mr. Coelho still had at least one of his arms around the blond lady when he was struck in the face by Mr. Kris Thomas, knocking him backwards away from the blond woman. He stumbles backwards and trips, falling down, with the blong woman landing on his legs,whereupon Mr. Kris Thomas proceeds to punch him one more time then change from punching Mr. Coelho to kicking him. While this is happening Mr. Parker is thrown to the ground by Mr. Jovan Tut Dean. Mr. Parker gets up and moves away while Mr. Jovan Tut Dean starts yelling, "Have a good day, go home." Mr. Coelho gets up and runs away out of frame. Mr. Parker as he tries to get away is also struck by another person who has yet to be identified.
Granted the video is short, but from what I saw of the video it appear that Mr. Coelho and Mr. Parker were attacked by the bouncers, employees of the club Dirty Blondes. Mr. Coelho and Mr. Parker during the time the video was filmed were both in relaxed attitudes and did not appear to be offering any type of threat to the bouncers or anyone else.
And to add insult to injury, Mr. Coelho and Mr. Parker were arrested by the police when they returned to scene, supposedly for assaulting an officer and disorderly conduct. There is a second video showing Mr. Coelho and Mr. Parker's interaction with the police officers. I certainly do not see anything that suggests to me of an assault against a police officer. Which tells me that Mr. Coelho and Mr. Parker, being upset might have been guilty of "Contempt of Cop" hence their arrests.

Astroturf much? - Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America
Why is this NOT surprising? And why isn't it getting more coverage? If you blog please link to the below post by Miguel over at Gun Free Zone. And you seriously want to RTWT
"Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is the new astroturf “grassroots” gun control movement out there. Yes, one tends to be a tad cynic about these things because of what we have seen in the past.
~~snip~~
Shannon Watts is a 42-year-old mother of five children (two step-daughters, 23 and 19; two daughters, 17 and 16; and a 12-year-old son). For the past five years, Ms. Watts has been a stay-at-home mom in Zionsville, a suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana. Prior to that, she had a 15-year career as a communications executive for both public relations agencies and Fortune 500 corporations.
~~snip~~
Shannon Watts does not come associated with VoxPop but the name Shannon Troughton does. In fact, for the rest of the list of institutions where Ms. Watts says she worked, all come back associated with the name Shannon Troughton.
~~snip~~
The first entry of her Linkedin is revealing: Five years as Public Affairs Officer Missouri State Government where she worked for Governor Mel Carnahan, the Missouri House of Representatives, and the Missouri Department of Economic Development. Some older heads will remember that Gov. Carnahan died in a plane crash in 2000 during re-election campaign and that his memorial service became a freak show of political speeches and campaign stumping by Clinton and Gore against then Governor Bush and Senator John Ashcroft who was running against Carnahan and were present at the memorial."
Please post your own link to it, lets blow this up and try to get more coverage on this "Grass Roots" organization
