'March on Google' rally in Bakery Square (Pittsburgh) postponed (Alt-Left threats)
WPXI ^ | August 16, 2017

The “March on Google” scheduled for Saturday in Bakery Square has been postponed, Channel 11 Morning News has learned.

The lead organizer said it was postponed because of credible “alt-left” terrorist threats against the events planned for locations across the country.

The march was scheduled in reaction to the firing of a software engineer who wrote a controversial memo about women in technology.

Organizers say the events had been falsely portrayed as "alt-right," which led to the threats.

A comment on the event website says, "Mainstream media made malicious and false statements that our peaceful march was being organized by Nazi sympathizers."

Remind us again of the definition of “ terrorism”, its tactics, and who is using it

These people have a right to assemble and to speak. Civil rights violation.

And without the slightest hint of irony, these leftist losers will tell you that this is what democracy looks like.

Out of tragedy (Charlottsville) good things sometimes appear.
For one, local authorities are NOW ON NOTICE that “standing down” is not only a bad idea, but it is legally liable and people will be LOOKING closely at those who ALLOW the gas to come in contact with the flame.
Secondly, our genius President has now forced the Media to discuss and DEFEND the violent Alt-Left which they have now openly sided with.

Such marches shoud sure as hell NOT be scrapped or “postponed” by intimidation from the left. Perhaps it should induce the participants to come armed, though. We are either going to surrender the locational portion of the public square to the left or we are going to defend it. If we resist it is going to become actually violent and some will die and some will go to prison. If we do not defend it then there will be nothing left to die for and speech, mobility, freedoms of all sorts will be strangled. All the good that Trump can do will be for nought if we surrender the streets.

Actually, democracy IS about mob rule. Our republic is going down the tubes because of democracy.

Reported polls are pseudo democratic. The presstitutes make their polls with loaded question that produce fake news.

COMCAST is the enemy of America.

Tangling up the Google issue with the Nazis in Virginia is not a good idea anyway. Better to wait until things have settled down.

I would rather not have right or left idiots at this thing, and that is guaranteed if you do it this weekend.
