Trump supporters, protesters clash along Mon River during boat parade
WPXI ^ | July 4, 2020

PITTSBURGH — A steady stream of boats headed up the Monongahela River toward the Hot Metal Bridge while a crowd of protesters clashed with supporters on the riverwalk Saturday.

Hundreds of boats and thousands of people were expected to take part in a boat parade in support of President Donald Trump. Most supporting Trump were dressed in red, white and blue and didn’t have masks.

As chanting escalated back and forth between Trump supporters and protesters, mounted police positioned themselves between the two groups.

Tensions heightened as the two sides began yelling and cursing at each other on the riverwalk. Additional police officers responded to the scene, creating a barrier.

Pittsburgh police were on scene monitoring the situation.

“This was supposed to be a nice Trump rally on boats. It was very well organized, but for these people to show up and do this is so wrong,” said Maggie Jayson, a Pittsburgh resident. “And we are going to demonstrate peacefully, ‘cause that’s our right. And as long as we’re doing it in the right manor, we can do that.”

Notice the guy in front for anti Trumps making a gun-like gesture with his hand.

Interfering with a political parade is NOT a protest — it is sheer terrorism.

Trump supporters staged a boat parade at Playa del Rey, Calif., about a month ago. Even though it’s deep in the heart of a solid blue territory, only a couple hecklers gave us any trouble.

Like 40 big mouths and a bunch of media and cops.

These little malcontents really don’t like anybody to have any other point of view except for theirs do they? They just want to scream and get in your face and be obnoxious, yet their peaceful and Trump is divisive, right?

And as long as we’re doing it in the right manor, we can do that.

“Black Trans Lives Matter”?

Whatever the Left does it is inevitable that they will make it about poofters at some point.

I will reveal something. I once read a mainstream magazine article when that true white supremacist (name?) was trying to get the right to speak on a campus. He was refused.

The article said his supporters claimed Africans had never invented, fashioned or perfected ocean going boats or had a navy, so were at the mercy of slave holding nations that sailed the oceans to get to them. I tried looking it up and came to only a couple of short distance boat travel stories of two rival tribes in flimsy boats. Could the rumor be true?

I live in a very rural area of Florida where masks have not been required for grocery stores, Walmart, etc.

I was in Walmart today (packed!). Half or so were wearing masks and half were not. It occurred to me that, say, 90% of the masked were probably liberals bending knee to their Dem masters. The other 10% could've been someone with an underlying condition.

I would say at least 90%, and to me, 100%, of the unmasked were conservatives.

Once again the Police protect the criminal versus the law abiding. When will the people wake up to which side the Police are on? They are neutral and they do protect the law abiding.That has been demonstrated time after time.

“...Africans had never invented, fashiohed, or perfected ocean going boats...Could the rumor be true?”

It’s not a rumor and it’s most certainly true. Consider that Madagascar, the large island off the eastern shore of Mozambique was settled by Polynesians who came by sea from the south pacific. There were black africans on the continent nearby for eons but they never figured out how to make the trip themselves. That’s incredible!
