There was a saying on WRSA a while ago "some idiot has to go first"...

I've been toying with the idea of having a "Support President Trump" rally in Portland, OR. Obviously the city has just gone through a week of violent leftist protests. These are clearly intended to suppress conservative people, thought and support for Trump in the city.
Put bluntly there is a very high level of intimidation in these events. Which got me to thinking about other times when mobs have been used to intimidate.
The Civil Rights era is perhaps the one I am most familiar with, where large ad-hoc groups of sheriff's deputies and "concerned citizens" were used to harrass the black protesters peacefully marching for civil rights.
One important aspect of the Civil Rights movement was that Dr. King and his supporters kept marching right through the intimidation. They were not forced off the streets, even though their opponents had the force of local law behind them.
They created a really compelling media event: nicely dressed blacks being attacked by whites, police dogs, and mobs. It was a turning point in the civil rights movement that the forces of segregation never recovered from.
The Portland politicians are reprising the role of the racist Southern sheriffs to a tee. They have ordered the police to "stand down" and not arrest the protesters, even when they are violently intimidating people, blocking Interstates, and smashing cars and windows.
If we organized a "pro-Trump" rally in Pioneer Courthouse Square we would have to expect a counter-protest of massive size, and it might get kinda frisky.
One end goal of this would be to allow President Trump early in his term to mobilize the Oregon National Guard to protect future "pro-Trump" rallies from the violent local bigots and their corrupt local political and police enforcers.
I find the idea of appropriating "Civil Rights" history, rhetoric, and tactics a fascinating tactical approach for the new opposition.
Good way to start a full-blown riot and you know the left will blame the Trump supporters for starting it.
We work for a living. We don’t have time.
Nice idea. I wish I lived in Portland.
My advice, schedule it for an early evening or weekend, clearly stating that since most conservatives actually work for a living, we march and support in our spare time, not work time.
Yeeeahhh... a TORCHLIGHT PARADE! It would be freakin’ awesome.

I’m more into planning an Inaugural Ball...in Salem
One thing you can be sure of in Portland...no matter how civil a pro Trump rally is, the agitators will KILL you and no one will do one damn thing about it. They’d probably stick you in a ‘first amendment area’ like they always do conservatives, if they allow it at all.
Perhaps we could show support another way that won’t invite chaos. ON FB, some were going to nail big tarps on their roofs with Pro Trump phrases..so the thugs can’t destroy them and the drones have something to take pics of. I have mine ready as soon as I can hire someone to climb up on the roof in the rain! lol I tried the usual handy man guy...but he was a lib and refused. We need to do SOMETHING, Jack Black, I agree.
By all that’s right...there should be a ticker tape parade in NYC. IMO
I hope inaugural balls are planned all across the country!
Be ready to rumble.
Yeah - nothing worthwhile is worth the while if it causes inconvenience and upsets those who would have us all enslaved.....that attitude is what allowed them to walk all over us for decades and is the epitome of the PC mindset. trying hard to leave your screen name out of it because everyone has a "moment" from time to time....
I like it. I taught the boys in my Trail Life USA troop how to make torches a few months ago when camping. That would be fun and less threatening to the snowflakes than tar, feathers and fence rails.
Plus that, candlelight vigils are overdone.
Torchlights are never done and a sign of a new America.
I’m kind of liking this.
Well...my massive health care deductible has been paid already, but alas I live way out in Arkansas.
My version: “the nuts move first”.
Torchlight parades can be very powerful. And intimidating. We can do street action once Trump is in, I think. We used to be able to get a crowd out. It’s true that you have to be willing to get beat on to do the Ghandi thing. Not sure our people are willing to peacefully take it anymore. We are the majority. Kick the foreigners out. Many of them.
I like the idea, but the first time some anarchist liberal puke touched me or even screamed in my face....he/she is gonna hit the deck. Some people have the temperament for protest, I definitely don’t.
On a separate topic...you are very famous in Japan
Black Jack (Japanese: ブラック・ジャック Hepburn: Burakku Jakku?) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka in the 1970s, dealing with the medical adventures of the title character, doctor Black Jack.
Black Jack consists of hundreds of short, self-contained stories that are typically about 20 pages long.
Black Jack has also been animated into an OVA, two television series (directed by Tezuka's son Makoto Tezuka) and two films. Black Jack is Tezuka's third most famous manga, after Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. In 1977, it won the 1st Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen.[1]
About.com's Deb Aoki lists Black Jack as the best "re-issue of previously released material" of 2008.[2] Osamu Dezaki's anime film adaptation, Black Jack The Movie, won Best Animation Film at the 1996 Mainichi Film Awards.a separate issue...you are very famous and reveir
