How do you know they were not disturbing the peace? Have you read the other side of the story? Have you even looked to see if there is another side?
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/06/09/the-facts-behind-the-mckinney-pool-fiasco-part-ii/#more-102081Are you saying that a few hundred mainly b****s in a very small area were just sitting around and talking in low tones with the DJ playing parlor music. I suppose when they drank their beverages of choice, they held their pinky finger up as they enjoyed their herbal tea. I sure would like to see that. But, I am sure they were just as polite and sweet as can be to each other and so respectful of the property they were visiting. And those mean old police, even the security guard on duty.... nasty people came to break up this managed social gathering. Not to mention the homeowners, certainly they should not care if a few bottles were gently tossed at their property.... no harm and no problems. And fences around the pool, well they are intended for exercise, just like climbing a rock wall, just simple quite exercise.
A resident of the community has another story to tell: "Benet Embry just wanted a respite from the heat when he went to his neighborhood pool Friday.
Talking to CNN Monday about the national story that rolled out of that simple, mundane summer activity still has him pretty well dismayed.
The 43-year-old African-American has lived in Craig Ranch, a planned community, for eight years. Its a nice place. Racially diverse. People get along there.
Thinking back on the pool party, he might have known it would be crowded.
The invite to the party had earlier caught fire on Twitter and social media.
Craig Ranchs strict homeowners association rules prohibit bringing more than two guests to the pool.
So when crowds of teenagers showed up, huddling by the gate and shouting to let them in, things got out of hand.
Some kids jumped over the fence, Embry said. A security guard tried to get them to leave but was outnumbered, so the guard called police."

There is only one person on this thread and others.... of course you had to respond to me and present your well thought out discussion points, without any contention. And how ungracious of me to ask a question of the thread creator, as to whether or not a person should be considered outside of the protection of the law because they painted a cow and spent time in jail. Whether this made him, as implied, un-objective as a witness. Naturally that would bring up the question about these well mannered people at the party and if they were breaking the law. I understand. You are of course, quite right in hijacking this thread, after all I was not an active participant on the other threads (3 others) regarding this affair that does question the activities.

But they weren't disturbing the peace until they were attacked and self-defense would take precedence. What you are arguing is that after they were attacked they beat up the persons who attacked them therefore that constitutes disturbing the peace. Even in Texas that won't fly and as high profile as this has become republicans won't be able to sweep this under the rug.
As for stalking you--these threads aren't closed and since I live about 40 minutes from McKinney this is a topic I am interested in. My rule of thumb is that if a thread interests me I will respond to it. And since BR and you were the only conservatives responders you were the one I addressed since BR left nothing worthwhile to comment on. Okay?
