Advice to Trump Supporters Considering Protesting His Expected Arrest Next Week, from an Experienced Conservative Street Activist
gateway pundit ^ | 3/18/2023 | KRISTINN TAYLOR

Posted on 03/18/2023 10:20:25 PM PDT by bitt

President Trump has called on supporters to protest his expected arrest next week by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on bogus charges arising out of the alleged 2016 Stormy Daniels hush money arrangement. Several so-called influencers are warning supporters to stay home to avoid being entrapped by the feds into another January 6 riot.

As one of the most experienced conservative street activists who was active in our Nation’s Capital for over a decade, I want to offer my advice on whether to go out and protest (yes) and how to do it.

First, some background. I was active in the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com from 1998 into the early 2010s, but mostly through the end of 2007 when I left the area and returned a few times a year. I organized hundreds of street protests and counter-protests against President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and other corrupt Democrat politicians. I organized an annual protest of liberal media bias outside the White House Correspondents Dinner for about fifteen years. Through Free Republic, Move America Forward and the Gathering of Eagles, we organized several rallies and counter-rallies supporting our troops in the war on terror in the years after 9/11. On a few occasions, we acted as human shields against the violent left and radical Islamists, protecting The White House, the Danish Embassy, Armed Forces Recruiting stations and even the Washington Post. I also helped organize the FReeper inaugural ball in 2005 attended by nearly 1,000 guests or so.

We dealt with D.C. Police, Capitol Police, Park Police, Secret Service, various other federal law enforcement agencies and the military in demonstrations at the White House, Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the National Mall, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, the old Walter Reed Army Hospital, the Vice President’s Residence, aka “Cheney’s House”, and many locales in and around D.C.

We faced off against communists, anarchists, Black Bloc (pre-Antifa), Code Pink, ANSWER, radical Islamists, Democrats, RINOs, dishonest media and the Westboro Baptist Church extremists.

We did all that by being peaceful and behaving in a civilized manner at all times. We hade a code of conduct that served us well.

Briefly, it read, “No violence, no racism, no profanity, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.”

Kyle Becker assumes it is another Pelosi trap:

Nancy Pelosi is Once Again Setting Up the Trump ‘Incitement’ Narrative Ahead of His Expected Arrest

MAGA supporters tempted to protest an expected Trump arrest should be wary, especially in a major city. They might be walking into another “insurrection” trap....more

Joe certainly can’t honestly talk about his positive accomplishments.

So they need some other narrative for the liars in the mainstream media.

Despite this one lone article, Trump’s calls for PROTESTS PROTESTS PROTESTS seems to be falling completely flat.

Fool me once and all that. It’ll probably be like that rally for J6 prisoners a few weeks after J6, 80% feds.

If people follow Kristinn’s very good advice they won’t.

I went to some of the protests and demos Kristinn talks about. White House Saturday mornings, shout outs at the VP house and more, 2000 - 2004.

Law enforcement had no problem with us, barely paid attention, even when the lone voice shouted out “CRIME SCENE!” whenever Clinton appeared in public in DC.

LOL

Where ever the Clintoons go is definitely a crime scene.

"Several so-called influencers are warning supporters to stay home to avoid being entrapped by the feds into another January 6 riot."

Maybe if every freedom loving American were to breifly run their faucetts at the same time, biden or some corrupt liberal district attorney might find itself inconveniently unable to flush its essence down the toilet.

I remember those days.

We had a great deal of fun with the MOAB, and protesting outside the WHCA dinners.

Times are different now. ‘Pod
