    It would be interesting to see a wide angle shot of the rally's in those pictures- left media used to put pout pics like that for Kamala's rally's and then when someone wlse posted a wide shot it was actually a small crowd

    Bs headline - Someone’s post?! look at the crowds. and Greenville voted for Dear Leader by 60%.

    It can be argued the purpose & effectiveness but yes, turnout is considered a success.

    I’m still laughing about the Ocala story. There were people everywhere at the bars/restaurants sitting outside drinking and eating laughing at the “protesters” sweating away. It was sad

    As blunt as it is, it warns possible rioters about the consequences of their actions.
    If I was a dude from out of state planning to protest I’d like to know beforehand the position of the local law enforcement and I’d act accordingly, maybe find a different area to protest.
    Florida also has a law against blocking traffic. One where you can run over protesters under certain conditions.
    And to top it off Florida is a stand your ground state.

    Clearly those on the right are entertained by these no nonsense acting low IQ sheriffs so this type of tough talk is now becoming a thing.

    thanks for starting a thread on it a full day after it has been discussed on other threads.

    Half the people in those pictures are on the other side of the street and were anti protesters. Read what one of the posters said that was in Ocala today. There is not one picture where the Kings Day protesters number over 50 people in the picture. There are more than 50 in one picture but most of the people are on the opposite side of the street from the protesters.

    You would not get a cookie. But I would not kill you and tell your family where to find the remains are over a brick.

    Since protests and violent ones are more prevalent it would be good reason to raise your ride to avoid more damage to your vehicle.

    If he was a teacher I bet his classes would behave themselves. The mayors and the sheriffs who cower and don’t lay down standards because they don’t want to offend anyone…I bet their classes would look similar to the anarchy that they allow in their cities.

    Speaking of embarrassing turnouts. The Trump Birthday military parade looked like it had about 150 people. So that's like $250k spent per person in attendance

    Apparently someone was not happy about the "No Kings" rally in Salt Lake City.

    One person ‘critically injured,’ one arrested after shooting as 10,000 march in Salt Lake City during No Kings protest

    One poster wasn’t at the Ocala protest and claims to know all about it. Another is playing it down.

    I’m not a Democrat but let’s at least be honest about the situation. Both sides of the street were filled. At its height there were hundreds of anti Trump protesters. Quite a few republicans who were anti trump. Mostly old people. A few counter protestors. Not many though. Proud boy’s showed up. To say there were only 50 protesters and that they were outnumbered or even matched by trump supporters is simply inaccurate.

    There is drone footage on social media that shows the size of the crowd.

    We should at least try and be honest when posting.
