Thousands Sign Up For Mummers Protest March In Philadelphia For New Year’s Day
CBS News Philadelphia ^ | 12/22/2020 | Alecia Reid

Posted on 12/22/2020 4:04:54 PM PST by Kid Shelleen

Thousands of people have signed up for a New Year’s Day protest in Philadelphia. With the yearly Mummers parade canceled, some 2,600 people plan to go to the Mummers protest march.

“Mayor Jim Kenney has tried for years (like every Philly Mayor in the past) to cancel the Philadelphia Mummers Parade, a tradition preceding the birth of our nation. What he can NOT do is cancel our First Amendment right to peacefully protest his erroneous taxes and restrictions on our freedoms and liberties. It should go without saying that everyone will be on 2nd Street New Years Day, strutting their best, to peacefully protest his administration in true, centuries old fashion, as we usually do every New Years,” the Facebook event post reads.

I’m glad the Mummers are going forward with their parade.

Our country has had more than enough gloom and doom this year.

To placate people there will be free showings in theaters of marathon mummer movies (with 6 feet apart seating and no food or drinks allowed): The Return of the Mummer, the Mummer’s Curse, the Mummer’s Hand, Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummer....

This stupid COVID tyranny is only going to stop when there are thousands of people flooding the streets and protesting.

Good for them!

Maybe they should call themselves the ‘antifa Mummers’ and the police will leave them alone.

Mayor has no problem with ‘them’ burning down Center City but don’t let people get out and have fun...

HOPEFULLY this Schiff isn’t still going on but will be interesting to see the ‘mayors’ attempting to stop the St Patricks Day Parade(s)...

Remember
Don’t tug on Supermans Cape,
Don’t spit in the wind
Don’t pull the mask of The Old Lone Ranger
and
Don’t Mess with Jim

AND

Don’t Mess with a whole lot of traditions where alcohol may be a contributing factor.

From 2013

For the past two years I have streamed the whole parade, and the Avalon String Band always marches in our St. Patrick’s Day Parade the first Saturday in March. They are awesome... GO MUMMERS!

Excellent. If I lived close I’d go down to 2th street with them.

Hey Lightman, do you remember when you went to see Jim to show him your printout, but Malvin snatches the paper out of his hand, and then Jim Tells Malvin he's Being Rude?   Now this time you're being rude.

Just send the string bands over to his house around midnight to practice.
