The Trump Show Hits Dallas, Protest Organizers Ban Mexican Flags
Dallas Observer ^ | 6/16/2016 | Stephen Young

It took a while, but the details of Dallas' latest encounter with presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign finally got filled in Wednesday afternoon. After a nearly weeklong search for a venue, the Trump operation found a DFW home at the Southside Ballroom, otherwise known as the big room at the Gilley's complex in the Cedars.

...

But now that there's a public rally, longtime Dallas activist Domingo Garcia and Next Generation Action Network Founder Dominique Alexander are planning to rally at Gilley's at 6 p.m.

Organizers are asking that demonstrators wear white shirts "to promote peace" and carry American flags rather than the Mexican flags that have been popular at other Trump protests in Texas and around the country.

...

"We will be giving Donald Trump a warm, hot Texas welcome," Garcia said. "We are expecting to send a message to Donald Trump that his campaign of hatred, bigotry and division is not welcome in the United States or North Texas."

My money is on burning it.

“I hope they carry Mexican flags because that hurts their case and helps Trump’s case. It also shows where their allegiance lays.”

Exactly! They, and the Uniparty/Globalist organizations funding these rent-a-mob protesters are refining their tactics now. They’ve come to realize the optics of waving the Mexican flag is counterproductive to their cause and reveals their true intentions. This isn’t good because while they had their Mexican flags everywhere, even the low information democrat voters who actually do have some patriotism flowing through their veins could see their intent. Now it’s being hidden.

Because they acknowledge it can hurt them. Few will comply with it and expect to see plenty of Mexican flags there. Plus they hopefully will run into problems at the protest from their own crowd for even mentioning the Mexican flag “ban” to those who bring them.

If it were me and the first car window was shattered, I would assume the mob wanted me dead and that I had nothing left to lose by flooring it as hard as I could. Let a jury sort it out.

You could make a lot of money selling flags at these rallies - Mexican, USSR, ISIS flags - if you accept EBT cards.

California has (I believe) a six month tort claim notice period, so hopefully we’ll be hearing soon about a lawsuit against San Jose for its recent appalling failure to protect Trump rally attendees.

All those illegals carrying Mexican flags and ICE can’t seem to spot one.
