I’m in downtown Minneapolis - about two blocks from Target Center. Aren’t going to the rally though.
I was there around 7:30AM. Pretty quiet. All the security is in places, fences, roadblocks, cops, etc. I saw a couple of pro-Trump demonstrator waving flags at passing cars.
Another Freeper reported that he was about the 2000th person in line to get in and that was at 10:30AM. There is another line of people waiting to get in too.
Don’t know much about whether there are any protestors. I’m heading out to lunch and a gonna walk over there and see what’s going on. I’ll fill you in shortly.
By the way, it’s rainy and cool here today. Hopefully, that’ll keep the troublemaker element down a bit.
IIRC read today 2,000 protestors are expected. No idea where this was seen; nor if they are a (group en mass) or individual never-Trumpers.
Surely, our POTUS will never allow this to get out of hand. If push comes to shove, he’ll follow Chicago rally guidelines; disappoint the many supporters, but necessary for safety reasons.
I’m leaving in a bit to pick up my wife from work in St. Paul. Normally she would take the somali trolley and then a bus that goes through that area but public transit will be a dangerous place to be today.
