Armed protester Wyatt Winn waits for a counter response from the Ector County Sheriffs Office and Texas State Troopers shortly before his arrest on Monday, May 4, 2020 at the bar Big Daddy Zane’s in Odessa, TX. Winn and others were supporting the protest of the bar and their ability to open and serve customers at full capacity despite Texas’ emergency orders prohibiting their operation until later in May. The photo of Wyatt Winn very much was a right place at the right time shot that relied heavily on the placement of his “We The People” tattoo. Were it that Winn didn’t have that tattoo or the recent injustices resonating across the country weren’t happening at the time, this image would not have been quite the impact it did otherwise.
