If you ventured to downtown Coeur dAlene, Idaho last night you would think you had entered a Militia family reunion. No one has an accurate count of how many heavily armed citizens came out to support peaceful protestors and protect local businesses and citizens against shipped in ANTIFA members but it was certainly HUNDREDS, perhaps over a THOUSAND.
We just drove downtown Coeur dAlene. It is packed with armed citizens. Ive never seen so many AR-15s in my life. Theres at least a thousand armed citizens walking on the sidewalks and the streets are packed with cars and trucks with guys in the back with AR-15 and American flags everywhere. We saw two protesters wearing their little black clothing and black masks and sitting on a step quietly with their little poster board sign saying our system sucks! Guess why theyre being so polite.~Keith Gibson, Coeur dAlene resident.
Word got out that ANTIFA was going to ship in rioters to mingle with peaceful protestors in our quiet little town
and indeed they did as several white Mercedes vans were seen with dozens of people that didnt belong in our community. It was also made known that they were planning to use the local WINCO store as their staging ground. After learning this, a well organized local group of concerned citizens set up a post in the parking lot to ensure that these unwelcomed invaders clearly understood that the citizens of Coeur dAlene would have ZERO tolerance for any type of violence or destructive behavior in our town.

If I ever leave Georgia, looks like Coeur D’Alene would be my kind of town.
