Armed activists at San Jacinto Monument vow to use force to defend Texas landmarks
More than 100 people crowded under a cluster of oak trees during a lightning storm at San Jacinto as rally speakers pledged to use force to defend themselves if that’s what it takes to protect historical landmarks from being vandalized or destroyed. Thunder occasionally punctuated their words.
“I want to remind you what General Patton said: ‘It’s not your job to die for your country, it’s to make the other poor dumb bastard die for his,†said conservative radio host James “Doc†Greene, paraphrasing a quote by the World War II general George Patton.
â€I’m not so interested in what you’re willing to die for, my friends,†Greene said. “I am interested in what is so important to you that you’re willing to kill for it.â€
David Amad, a speaker with Open Carry Texas, said armed volunteers will continue to guard the monuments. “And if we’re attacked, we’re going to defend the hell out of ourselves,†he said.
