by I know they say “Keep Austin Weird” but even this is weird by Austin standards.
Earlier this afternoon, CATI (Come and Take It) conducted a walk through downtown Austin to raise awareness for the current restrictions on gun rights in Texas. This walk is done monthly, and today’s walk was led by Thomas Jefferson from their Austin Chapter. Anti-gun protestors decided to arrive though, and they conducted their protest TOPLESS!
While being topless and exposing one’s boobs in public is legal in Austin, it does seem a strange way to protest against gun rights. Having seen the pictures of the protesters, I’d say it is emblematic of gun control’s sagging support (pun fully intended).
Pictures of the counter-protesters can be seen here but you are on your own for eye bleach.
