On May Day, Pro-Trump Group Bracing For Conflict In Seattle
Patch ^ | April 28, 2017 | Neal McNamara

SEATTLE, WA - A group of conservative, pro-Donald Trump activists will gather in Seattle on May Day as a counterpoint to planned leftist demonstrations, and the group is preparing for possible confrontations. As Seattle gears up for May Day - which typically brings large, sometimes violent, protests to the city - police say there is a potential this year for "crowd on crowd" conflict. The organizer of the pro-Trump rally says that some members of his group will be armed with guns, but he is asking everyone to remain nonviolent.

About 50 members of the Vancouver, Wash., group Patriot Prayer will travel to Seattle on Monday to host a rally dubbed "Stand Against Communism," organizer Joey Gibson told Patch.com on Friday. Gibson said that the group will mainly be in Seattle to promote small-government ideals. He expects other conservatives from the Seattle area to join his demonstration, but couldn't give an estimate on how many might show up.

The Patriot Prayer rally begins at 4 p.m. at Westlake Park, and will include speeches from Gibson and others. Gibson said he wants to encourage conservatives from the Seattle area to come out; he wants them to "be a little more courageous" about showing their conservative ideals in left-leaning Seattle.

"There will be a group of us who will be showing our support for the Police, Trump, Freedom, and AMERICA. Brave souls are welcome to join us. Bring your blue line, American, and Trump flags. This is a peaceful march. This is not a call to violence, but we will have people ready to protect anyone that wants to march with us for your free speech," the Facebook event page reads.....

The City of Seattle is going to give any of its employees the day off, if they want it, so they can participate in the march.

My husband is employed by a construction company that is doing work at Seattle Central College, where one of these marches is supposed to start. NO ONE in the company will be working in Seattle on Monday.

Tie a logging chain around it’s neck, hook it up to a 4x4 and pull it down.

You must be relieved that your husband and his co-workers will not be caught up in what looks like being a melee.

Seems to me if the government can’t hold up their end of the bargain—protecting the rights and safety of the citizens—its’ time to get a new government.

Easy-peasy.

President Buckwheat sent his SEIU goons down south to rumble back in 2009.

They got their fat, liberal butts kicked.
