Mayne, just maybe, they took into account the history of these events and how they almost always turn out violent. Couldn’t be that.

I’m from Portland, and I haven’t heard of any of this. Even my BLM-loving SIL was surprised by this news. I smell BS.

Well, Maine has legal open carry AND concealed carry, without a permit

Maybe they afraid of their planeload of new arrival supporters being outgunned

""We want to be clear, we are not postponing because those who threatened us have 'won.' But we also have to reckon with the reality of living black in Maine, and how when push came to shove, White Maine and city officials were quick to cast judgement."

In other words, "those who threatened us have won." BLM is exposed as a bunch of sissy white snowflakes who cower at the very laws they riot over. Arrest a few, and they quiver in fear. The riots would end this afternoon if the Marxist mayors and DAs in just a few cities would simply enforce the law.
