May he Rest In Peace.

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.”

You were there when the Clintons were still in...the protests you folks did were legendary...:)
I would agree. I have spent some time with him, and have a good deal of respect for him.
Yup. We came up with the Cops Cheer.
I miss Raoul...
May he Rest In Peace.
It’s satire. Lighten up pumpkin.
Sabo
Unsavory Agent
Do your homework and look up the key words.
Former Haliburton emplyee... deployed downrange, morphing into Kellogg, Brown and Root, US Army, DOD Contractor, in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Correcting...

The last demonstration I went to was in 2015 or 2016 to support Trump when he was speaking at the hotel next to Grand Central Terminal. The other side was out in force.
That was the speech where he veered off politics and told the audience he was sure they were tired of that so he spoke about something completely different and charmed the crowd.
The cops had us next to the hotel and the opposition was across 42nd Street. Where we were we could see the whole episode when the other side dropped a huge cloth banner out of one of the upper windows of the hotel. Can’t remember what it said but the sentiment was anti-Trump. Cops were up there and pulled it back inside in what seemed like less than one minute. I think it might have been the Terrorism Task Force but I’m not sure. There were police from all five boroughs there that day.
One of the gentlemen from across the street came over to us and was about to swat me in the head when a very alert and angry cop pulled him back. That was not an FR rally although I think it was mentioned on the site. The leader of the group was an amateur and had vanished to a point far away from the hotel with some of his friends but some of us stayed where we were.
It was not the same as the old days, for sure. A new time had come.
It’s crude, jackwagon.
"But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow..."
As compared to a late-term abortion that has the abortionist cutting up the preborn baby with loppers and then vacuuming the deceased or dying, preborn baby from the womb?
YOU, are offended by my CRUDE posting?
Try being consistent in your outrage and sensitivity...
It’s a creation by an artist named Sabo, Unsavory Agent... that does guerilla warfare STREET artwork in Los Angeles, using his artistic skills to create art that enrages or at the least riles up the left.
It’s not a crucifix, for crying out loud, in a jar of urine... being claimed as art!
Did you honestly think that P. Trump had posed for some kind of portrait that would in the end give aid and comfort to the enemy?
Sensitive much? KNOCK IT OFF!
Yes.
Can’t put it past them to round up everybody at protests and put them in large venues to’vet’
The ones not rounded up or let out right away will be the gov actors FBI antifa BLM etc.
Charge the rest of them with bogus felonies.
Unconstitutional harassment like J6.
Yup
How few here know who the author is
Thanks for your input to my post.
I will pray for you and your wife’s situations.I
God’s blessings for both of you!
Thank you for your service in those roles. I suspect you have seen much that most of us have never seen...
LOL, of course it had to morph. The same way “Trump” causes Leftists to lose their minds, “Haliburton” had much the same effect on them!
