Many parents now fear the threat is real and are afraid for their lives after the CRT defender\u2019s threat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The defender\u00a0 has been identified as Malikk Austin, attended the Fort Worth Independent School District board meeting on Nov. 9th and spoke up about his leftist views on Critical Race Theory. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/UuV5NtCD3t4?t=2057\">The meeting was livestreamed on YouTube.<\/a>\u00a0 The livestream has garnered almost 100,000 views and many comments pointing out Austin&#8217;s inflammatory comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those who got an issue with the critical race theory equity, this is something I fight for, for my children,\u201d Austin stated, before threatening the crowd to bring his soldiers with him next time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many in the audience were shouting that he should be addressing the school board, not the public. Austin responded to this by shouting, \u201cmy First Amendment rights!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Carlos__Turcios\/status\/1459268942653005827?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1459268942653005827%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Ffort-worth-parents-claim-pro-crt-father-threatened-them\">After his minute on the stand was up, officers had to escort him out of the room<\/a>. During this interaction, he shouted on his way out \u201cI\u2019ll bring my soldiers with me next time&#8230;locked and loaded,\u201d after a heated interaction with stay-at-home mom, Hollie Plemmons. Plemmons had spoken at the meeting before Austin and mentioned CRT in her speech to the board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After she asked, \u201cDid you just threaten me?\u201d Austin repeated in response, \u201clocked and loaded.\u201d Plemmons said that she is certain that Austin&#8217;s remarks were threats and not to be taken lightly, &#8220;Locked&#8217; means when you are putting your cartridge or your clip in and \u2018loaded\u2019 means you have a bullet in the chamber.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout this entire interaction, the school board did nothing to interrupt him, while it is almost religion for them to silence those who are disruptive. This shows a clear double standard due to their favor of CRT being embedded into the school curriculum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A grandmother of four, Carlo Guarneri stated that \u201ceveryone there felt threatened.\u201d She also claims that Austin has previously attended a school board meeting in August wearing \u201ctactical gear\u201d. She further mentioned that she \u201cWas thinking about calling [her] husband and having him come to the parking lot,\u201d due to her fear of walking to her car alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin claims that his repeated phrase of \u201clocked and loaded\u201d was not a threat but as a way to say, \u201cprepare and get ready.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: Fort Worth Independent School District<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Amanda Angulo Parents from Fort Worth were threatened by a\u00a0 CRT defender who claimed he had \u201cover 1,000 soldiers ready to go,\u201d while mentioning that they are also \u201clocked and loaded\u201d for next time.
