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.”

If there are rallies in DC, DC police have a lot of experience dealing with protests. If it is in NY, don’t know how well it will be handled. DC police try to act in ways that will avoid major lawsuits against the city. The street action with tear gas, etc. that occurred when efforts were made to hurry the, at that point, peaceful protesters away 1/2 hour before the curfew was scheduled were handled by park police and other non-DC Police actions. This the event when President Trump decided to stroll out of the White House, past the protesters, to a famous church.

Last time I protested someone came up to me and tried to hit me and the cops had to stop him. That was it for me.

Look for an uptick in sales of khaki slacks and dark blue polo shirts.

Because the communists successfully scared us. They will win if we give up.

We must allow Trump to make his moves because of J6. He is walking on ice now. He is a better candidate this time. Hopefully they won’t be able to overcome him this time. Have you ever seen Trump’s IQ? Trust him!

That claim is absolutely false. If the New York Times had provided us with more than 7 minutes to comment we would have told them so.

The purpose of a protest is to make your number and your feelings known. Of showing up is stupid.

Kristinn stands by his words and actions!…..he is the ‘real deal’…..

Yes, Kristinn's the real deal and if I follow anyone's advice on FR, it's his.

He knows his stuff. Wise Freeper's will follow his sage advice.

If memory serves, the Pyrite Turkey likes to protest Trump and this is probably more of that. Passive aggressive complaining is the forte of FR’s disgruntled non-Trumpers.

I will throw out one more name from the early days. A guy we all respected who is long passed away: MrConfettiMan.

His “I was there — where were you?” Inspired us all.

MrConfettiMan

That's The MrConfettiMan. I remember him fondly. Never met the man, followed everything he did closely. A man of action he was. Good man. Damn' good man.
