On August 16, 2009, about a dozen people were noted by police to be openly carrying firearms at a health care rally across the street from a Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention at the Phoenix Convention Center, where President Barack Obama was giving an address. One of the armed protesters at the rally was Chris Broughton, a 28 year-old resident of Phoenix and Team Member of We The People's Arizona Chapter. Broughton openly carried a loaded AR-15 rifle, slung on his back, as well as a loaded handgun in a holster.
This is one instance in particular where the a man exercising one of his most basic civil liberties is demonized in the press and even LIED ABOUT. When they show him in the newscasts, they show an angle from the back, attempting to conceal that he is an African-American man. The reason being, the media was trying to say that we are seeing these actions because of the new healthcare law and also that we have a black President, which is inciting racism. Watch the full video for Chris' statements and also the demonization of him by the media.
