At 5PM local time, “peaceful protests” begin in three locations in the eastern business suburbs of Tampa. HCSO has been all over the airwaves telling businesses to close and residents to stay away.
A fourth location for protest near the residential subdivisions has been reported but not confirmed.
Further information as I receive it.
Pre-staged pallet of bricks has been reported, intersection of US 301 and Big Bend Road - major intersection and shopping/commercial center.
HCSO Deputy I spoke to earlier today hinted that this is expected to be Ground Zero for any trouble.
As this was unfolding, Fox was referring to it as a peaceful protest, and saying how wonderful it was. I was sitting there in disbelief, thinking Cant you see what is right in front of your eyes!? To the non-blind, it was obviously a highly-organized rally of ANTIFA or other Marxists, preparing for the evenings battle. Anyone who saw it would know what Im referring to. It was stunning.
