Juneteenth marchers met by counter-protesters motorcyclists in Rifle
The Aspen Times (Colorado) / Glenwood Springs Post Independent ^ | 06/22/2020 | Kyle Mills

On Friday evening, peaceful Black Lives Matter chants were shadowed by the deafening roar of motorcycle engines as counter-protestors — including some who were open-carrying firearms — followed the marchers on their route down Railroad Avenue to the Rifle Police Department.

The march was organized on Juneteenth, the oldest celebration in the U.S. commemorating the end of slavery.

It was the second time this month that several hundred protesters gathered in Rifle at City Hall. But unlike the June 2 vigil, Friday’s event was met by a significant counter-protest.

As BLM supporters gathered in the plaza near city hall, several hundred more supporters from Back the Blue and other conservative groups lined Railroad Avenue.

“Most importantly, first and foremost it is about getting the message out, there are so many problems across the country that may not be happening here, we may not see here, but it doesn’t mean we can’t stand with our brothers and sisters across the country,” BLM supporter Omar Hernandez said.

There few counter protests across America that have any strength and excitement. Rifle does it right and could give lessons.

There’s always some screaming, neurotic (and usually unattractive) white women at the center of these events.
.................................................
I’m glad you focused on that because it’s the first I’ve seen anyone mention it. Just by looking at their physical appearance and their behavior it’s obvious that most of them are self-loathing skanks!

The darkest skin I see is the dude on the American side in the backwards cap with the Colt strapped to his side.

Is she the blue haired “beauty” in tight stretch pants in the front?

Yes. I don’t think her husband puts “beauty” in danger quotes.

I thought it was a black lives matter protest. Where are the black people in that protest?
= = = = = = = = = = = =

That is called ‘Leading from the Rear’....
(Sort of like ANTIFAke stirring up BLM, get the ‘party’ started and slip into the crowd in case the POLICE GET SOME GONADS and stop the Bullschiff.)

Why go out there and risk getting the SCHIFF kicked out of you when you can get a bunch of dummies to do it for you.

I don’t imagine it would have taken a whole lot to get a full scaled ‘mostly peaceful demonstration’ going.

Slavery in the North did not end until ratification of the 13th Amendment in Dec of 1865.

The only reason it was peaceful is because those other groups showed up to keep it that way.

You ever notice how the loudest, most obnoxious protesters at these “BLACK lives matter” affairs are little WHITE GIRLS with unnaturally colored hair and little WHITE SOY BOYS in skinny jeans?

Oh man, I would love to do that around here. My Harley has Vance & Hines "Straight Shots" on it. You can guess how loud the pipes are by the name.

BLM? Blast'em Loudly Man...

I like the one at the end of the line; she appears to be packing the same type iron I do, same holster set up also.

Can’t tell from the picture but I hope its 45 long Colt.

But they are all fine, friendly looking young ladies that appear to have adequate calibers.

Yes, and they often stand right in front of a black officer wailing like banshees or cussing like a drunken sailor daring the officer to do something, and even just being silly saying-Black Lives Matter—with the same intonation as a Parrot saying Polly want a cracker.
