Conservative speaker and Texas State Representative runoff candidate
Jeff Younger and others had to be swept away by police as an angry mob swarmed
the building and inside the room where Jeff Younger was speaking to the Young
Conservatives of Texas.
Updated: video added below showing protestor assault Jeff Younger by spitting on him.
Rustin Wright was at the event and he described being escorted
out and locked in a room surrounded by police protection, as the angry mob
could be heard shouting outside.
Joseph Lowrey was at the event and described police, possibly
snipers, on the rooftops and a line of a dozen more police cars arriving as
they were lucky to get out of the building and away from the angry mob.
Jeff Morgan posted on Facebook asking for prayers as they were taken into police protection.
Below are some of the video clips showing the chaos as it
unfolded:
The angry mob was not there to debate or discuss the issues,
and they were not there to support the first amendment right to free speech.
The mob of hundreds were there to create violence and disruption and to shout
down Jeff Younger from being heard. It was as if this was not America and was
instead a communist country where you can only have one opinion and differing
opinions get you drug out to the street and executed.
I can respect different opinions and can respect people
showing up to peacefully protest or express their free speech, and to engage in
discussion or debating or speaking out about what they believe. I cannot
respect what happened here and it is downright un-American. They did not like
someone’s opinion so they took over the room and screamed and spit on the speakers
in an attempt to completely silence opinions that differ from their own.
Jeff Younger was not there to oppose gay people. I don’t
think he cares what people want to do with their own lives as adults. He was
there to speak about something that even many gay people completely agree with
him on. He was there to advocate against parents being able to physically or chemically
castrate young boys, children, in an effort to do elective sex changes. That
physical, irreversible, life changing procedure is something that the individual
child should have the right to decide on their own when they become an adult if
they want to have the procedure. No parent should make physical life altering
elective medical procedures for a child, and no child is capable of making that
decision themselves until they are old enough to make decisions for themselves
and understand the decisions they are making. Kids can’t even vote or own guns or
even smoke until a certain age, and they should certainly not be able to decide
to cut off a part of their body in an elective procedure until they are an
adult, and no adult should be able to make that decision for a child either as
the decision belongs to that child once becoming an adult.
These child gender mutilation procedures are now declared to
be child abuse as declared in a recent opinion by the Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton.
