Dallas Against White-Supremacy Rally
« on: August 21, 2017, 23:54:21 »
Dallas Against White Supremacy Rally - City Hall - Dallas, Texas - August 19, 2017

As in many other cities throughout the United States, a rally was held in downtown Dallas- partly to stand in solidarity with the citizens of Charlottesville and to demand removal of a Confederate Civil War memorial in Pioneer Park, which is directly across from City Hall.

This shot shows the Confederate memorial being guarded by police.




Several counter protesters confront those who want the memorial removed. The man in the left frame is shouldering a rifle.







A counter protester marches into the rally waving a Confederate battle flag.  He is quickly surrounded and eventually escorted out of the rally by the police.




Another counter protester being escorted out of the rally by Dallas police officers.

These images are fine depictions of different sides.  Apparently they are trying to act in a calm way.  Hopefully the demonstration continued as depicted.

Not too late to love but not likely, not from either side. I have grave concerns for the survival of a democratic republic.

Great documentary

Love the love image, and the very serious expressionless face of the lady holding the sign

Good stuff, as usual Rick.
Just curious about the fellow in photo no.4 holding a Confederate flag in one hand and a set of golf clubs in the other.

I love your work. The last two are my favourites. The separation and expression is superb.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Rick:
I have always admired your work (both the photographs and your commentaries) and this series is of the same very high quality.

Thanks for all of the comments.

Robert, I actually spoke to the gentleman waving the Confederate flag and I asked him about the golf clubs.  I told me that he brought them along for self defense.  As the Wicked Witch of the West was known to say, "What a world, what a world.... 

For those interested, the complete set of 15 photos is here http://www.rickwphotography.com/p563040296#h93bcf78f

Rick,
Of course. There are varying degrees of self-defense to be obtained based on which club one chooses to employ, hence the need for a full set rather than just one.
