Salt Lake City rallies against Donald Trump on Saturday detoured from the crude chants and sometimes-obscene posters of other recent protests into more of an old-fashioned love-in.
In an afternoon march from the Salt Lake City Hall to the state Capitol, most protesters carried roses as a symbol of peace — especially for Muslims, Latinos, refugees, immigrants and other groups Trump had attacked during his campaign.
Marchers wore safety pins on their shirts, as signs that they are people who anyone may call on for protection.
They usually followed organizers' pleas to avoid derogatory chants and crude language on signs. Some still surfaced, but nothing like those during a protest Thursday where F-bombs were used in some chants, some protesters blocked traffic, some spray-painted graffiti and others burned an American flag.
Kyle Huynh, one of the organizers, told marchers, "We want to be an example for how other protests should be throughout the country," as they attempted to show love and vow protection for those who feel threatened by Trump's policies.
While protests earlier this week attracted mostly young people, the march on Saturday attracted about 1,000 people of all age groups — who stretched for about three blocks down State Street at one point.
While police shut off State Street for marchers, some cars still turned onto it from driveways and sidestreets that had not been blocked. Some angry protesters stood in front of those cars to block them, holding signs and yelling. Then other protesters persuaded them to stop and let the vehicles pass.

The ironies are astounding. At one protest, they burned Trump in effigy.
These people, who shout at us how “love trumps hate”, perpetrate violence and symbolically call for the death of our legally duly elected president, as a demonstration of how love will trump hate.
Couple hundred people, about the same as for a Hillary rally.
Walrus maggot Michael Moore appeared at a protest and whined that Hillary won the popular vote and that Trump’s win was notl legitimate. He said Trump will never get into office because Hillary actually win.
As always, fringe lunatic liberals failed to check what the Constitution says about this issue.
His ignorance is as big as his waist.
...Marchers wore safety pins on their shirts...
Obviously, one side of their diaper is dropping.
If I need protection, I’m sure gonna call a moronic butt-hurt millenial liberal—NOT!
But I’ve gotta give credit where credit is due. I was really sure that Michael Moore would’ve been dead of a heart-attack by now.
Too bad for the walrus maggot, it turns out that once the final numbers came in Trump won both the electoral and the popular vote
Popular 62.9 to 62.2 Electoral 306 to 232
We should throw pacifiers at them.....or mail them to media.
This goofy safety pin bull**** is really cracking me up. These people are retarded. LOL! ****ing liberals. Just when you think they’ve gone full retard, they always find another level.
I am so sick and tired of these people saying Trump attacked these groups he did not. They took his words and twisted them.
I hope the media who is up to their necks with those lies gets payback 10 fold for what they have done.
Somehow I am not supposed to be able to celebrate his and our victory because he is bad and so are his voters—hogwash and they can all go to hell.
Oh and Obama is so enjoying all this division even though he and Clinton are saying how we should come together which neither of them want. I am glad O’s term is over I loathe him and have for 8 years he is a punk and a liar.
Communist progressives do not like to play by the rules.
If these were Trump supporters?
If they were Trump supporters they would not be splashed all over the media they would be ignored or they would be reported as a small minority group.
OK, the popular vote is # of million people. When I saw that, I was thinking, “You’re adding up to 120%, chief, what’s up?!” But I got it, thanks.
Exactly. It’s like the Hillary rallies, you don’t get a zoomed out shot to show the 400 square feet they’re taking up. The liberal rag SL Tribune wants you to think the entire city is hitting the streets.
Idiots. Mainly, they are giving the rest of us cheap entertainment.
