Quite the contrary…this was the most staged, curated, and (presumably) financed “protest” I ever saw.
I drove down a street where these “protesters” were lined up for at least a half of a mile. On both sides of the street, carefully standing on sidewalks and public property, these “protesters” were waving American flags, holding “hand-made” signs, and behaving themselves.
It took a LONG time to drive down this street. There were so many people that if one of them fell forward, it’d be tragic. Hence it was bumper to bumper.
As I looked around, it wasn’t just old cat ladies and aging hippies. It was a sea of younger people punctuated with Boomers. By the way, almost everyone was white.
Later I saw reporting and interviews where at least one person said they were paid to protest.
Since the road where the protest was held had almost no retail businesses that were open, I wondered…”where are they going to the bathroom?” I still don’t know, but
Now it makes sense: these were cosplaying protesters who prolly made $40 and got a box lunch, were handed signs made by slave labor, and were bussed in from elsewhere. As mewzilla pointed out, “these roadside demonstrations…Are those an attempt to get around permits, if any are required?”
Yup.
I graduated from high school in 1972, so I recognize the mindset of these aged protestors. They were the ones that called me a sellout and baby killer, as I was guilty of accepting an Army ROTC scholarship. It’s the same high school that produced Rachel Maddow, nothing more needs to be said.
because their handlers told the antifa types to stop. because of the bad look, but guess what the new look just does not work its the same crap the signs tell the story
