Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, a Republican, declared a civil emergency and announced a curfew near the arena where President Donald Trump will host a campaign rally this weekend.
Bynum’s executive said that “crowds in excess of 100,000” are expected to show up near the rally. Opposition protests are also scheduled, according to the mayor, who said that he will place a federal exclusion zone near the arena.
The Tulsa Police Department also wrote that “as part of our preparations for President Trump’s Rally this Saturday, we are working on making the area secure for everyone’s safety.
“As posted earlier, the area illustrated in this map will need to be free of vehicles and pedestrian traffic,” the office wrote. In a separate post on Facebook, police said that the area of downtown will be off-limits from 10 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Saturday.
Bynum, in his executive order, said that he received information from the city’s police department and other agencies that “individuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive or violent behavior in other states are planning to travel to the City of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally.”
People who were camped outside the arena to attend the Trump rally were moved out of the area, local media outlets reported.

According to Trump’s reelection campaign, more than 1,000,000 people have registered online for the Tulsa rally, which is first-come-first-served.

Republican Mayor?! Can someone clarify? I assume he’s as R as MD’s Gov?
But not ahead of the Sharpton rally.
Got a few hits on a search for G.T. Bynum (sounds so similar to P.T. Barnum) being a RINO.
Not taking any bs.
Not one cop there is going to take a knee.
“People who were camped outside the arena to attend the Trump rally were moved out of the area..”
They were being peaceful, they were there to support the President, they should not be subject to the Curfew.
yes the DNC-SOrozNazi Commie-Nazi gangs could indeed be planning another violent disruption
but on the other hand, could this “order” (ha ha!) be just another attempt to break up the PDJT campaign?
what kind of mayor has Tulsa got? and don’t bother telling me its a Republican. Some R’s are part of the evil ruling elite (Romney/McShame/several more Rats in Sheep’s clothing)
what’s really going on with this mayor?
They should all just sit down on the ground peacefully and refuse to move.
Force the police to drag them away. Doing this would make for really bad optics for the authorities.
Federal exclusion zone?
Excellent!
I’d really love to see Antifa get their behinds handed to them.
Here's the original thread and also the link to today's thread re threats received.

RE: They were being peaceful, they were there to support the President, they should not be subject to the Curfew.
The arena only has a 20,000 capacity. Where are the other hundred thousand going to seat?
The mayor is doing GREAT!
Yeah; ‘cause it would be such a shame to see BLM/Antifa/Progressives get the same treatment they’ve been dishing out lately in cities everywhere.
God forbid it sparks the inevitable coming civil war part 2.0.
“The arena only has a 20,000 capacity. Where are the other hundred thousand going to seat?”
They have rights under the First Amendment to be standing or sitting outside of the arena to support President Trump.
Ok folks this is where it ALL BEGINS!! If the patriots stand their ground all bets are off! If they coward this nation is truly _______!!
[[“People who were camped outside the arena to attend the Trump rally were moved out of the area..”]]
They should move back in there and set up an autonomous zone
My guess is that if antifa and blm come to Tulsa looking to raise hell they are going to find it. At least I hope so.
OKC might be a better place for trouble. I’ve thought bynum is a demoncrap more times than I ever thought he is an r, and I do mean little r.
Think much of him, not much. ‘Course, he is fitting what Tulsa and OKC are becoming. Tulsa looks more and more like an extension of the city down the highway, St. Louis.
Yep. Peacefully Assemble is specifically gated in the 1st Amendment. How many will be exercising their 2nd Amendment rights also.
