VANDERGRIFT, Pa. — A protest in Westmoreland County in response to the death of George Floyd has been canceled after organizers said they received numerous threats.
Cicily Bailey, 19, told Channel 11 News’ exchange partners at TribLIVE she and a few close friends decided to hold the event from noon to 8 p.m. Thursday at Vandergrift’s Casino Theatre.
She created a Facebook group with all the organizers around noon Tuesday, and everyone started spreading the word through their own channels.
According to TribLIVE, when users began posting about the protest on different Facebook community pages, Bailey said the message seemed to get twisted. She said she received a swift flood of criticism. A post on one Facebook page received more than 800 comments, and more than half were negative, Bailey said.
“I don’t think they really understood what we were trying to do. They thought we just wanted to riot and break things,” said Bailey, who lives in Vandergrift. “I just wanted to bring awareness to what has been happening — the police brutality.”

Lemme guess...white supremacists wearing MAGA hats.
Was it a barber trying to cut hair?
He received death threats and was threatened with arrest.
Hmmmph. Wonder if she either had trounce enlisting a tent-a-mob, or if she was told to cool it. If either is true, she’s usin threats as an excuse. Wonder if she filed a police report...?
They trade off.
Yeah, everybody's stupid except your wokeness.
"peaceful protestors" are distracting resources from stopping the cowardly anarchists using them as cover.
Gee, why would they think that?
“I just wanted to bring awareness to what has been happening..”
We are aware.
No go away.

Yep. People understand exactly what these “peaceful protests” can lead to.
I think people get it already.
I don't think anyone needs any more awareness raised about what happened.
Get over your virtue signalling already.
On Tuesday, 18,238 voters turned up to vote for ALL Democrat presidential candidates combined (only 65.6% of those did as they were told and voted for Slow Joe) versus 28,623 who voted for Donald J. Trump.
You were going to riot and break things. That is what your paramilitary wing called antifa in your organization called the democrat party does.

Late to the party cupcake, no your little 19 yo a$$ wanted to bring attention to yourself. Even those living under a rock are “aware”.

And the victimhood’s just icing on the cake.
They had one planned for California, PA in Washington Co but nobody showed up.
I live about 10 miles from California,PA. I did not know about this. That is a college town for sure.
So when told that those rioting and looting will be met with force, they cancelled?

Man are the Dems going to take a pounding this fall. They just turned most suburbs deep red. This is 1968 all over again and silent majority will speak in November. The MSM wants you to think urban hipster millennials, hopeless inner city blacks and jobless radicals are the new voice of America....wrong, dead wrong. The riots will be tremendous after. This is just the warm-up. Only thing that will diffuse this is a consistent application of a firmness of resolve.
