We have a "outsiders" protest here in our "nearest" town, Atlanta, Texas. Perps planned to gather at the local Wal*Mart -- which closed its doors at 3 pm today. BIG LE presence...
Wife & I stayed well away -- in fact, didn't learn about it until at a 6 pm meeting in an adjoining town...
Update when I know more...
My guess -- a big flop... '-)

Group calls for police reform in Atlanta, Texas, protestWhat was rumored to be a major protest, with out-of-towners coming to help in Atlanta, Texas, actually turned out to be one of the more peaceful gatherings held in the past weeks.

What would one expect in a town with this motto:
The town has a large, congenial and involved Black populace -- and the largest churches have happily-mixed congregations.
It's not surprising that outside rabble-rousers weren't effective here -- especially with both city police and County Sheriff deputies turned out -- in force...
Score one for the good folks!
