I went to my local No Kings protest today. It’s a small suburb but I estimate 3,000 folks were there (other’s estimated higher).
It was a nightmare! People were rioting. Police were attacked and hundreds of law officers were injured! 5 people died! Pepper spray and bear spray were in the air! People attacked others with baseball bats, metal poles, and more! Buildings were severely damaged! They even made a gallows and threatened to hang the Vice-president!!
Oh, wait. That was from my January 6th notes. My bad. Ah, just found today’s notes.
There were more American flags than a July 4th parade. Children were smiling. No one was even remotely injured. Everyone was treated with respect. Police and protesters talked with each other. Police anctually helped people cross the street. Ages ranged from babies to old farts (seriously, there were people older than me!). No cars or property were damaged. Not even Teslas. Signs were funny, clever, serious, and I did not see any spelling erors. There were a few folks in military uniform. No worry, they were protesting.
People even liked my sign:
“It’s so bad, I miss Dick Cheney!” [with a picture of Darth Vader, of course].
I guess Republicans and Democrats protest differently.
