The LE really need to keep the disruptor anarchists separated from the Rally goers. Can be very experience if the 2 groups mingle :(
In California, protesters are way of life. These professional protesters protest for any or no reason. Hourly rates are very good. It helps recreation habit.
Our protestors were mainly Obama sons from the local bus routes. Hand made signs etc. Not very Menacing One of the veterans who walked with me to our vehicles said there had been an ad on line paying people to demonstrate. With the economy as bad as it is in the area you can’t blame them for making a few dollars by standing in the sun I doubt if any were truly pro or anti anything thing but their own pocketbook Walking around money
Tonight’s group was different.
