They better hurry up about it, the day's half over
Lol. They are waiting for the night. They always come out at night as it is harder to identify.
The protests will be long gone by then
The protestors should leave some mannequins in frog suits, just to give the fascists something to do
Dude
You gave me a splendid idea.
Didn't work on us! Worst we saw were drivers giving us thumbs down as we waved Americans flags
Why do they hate America so much?
They are sons of confederates, monarchists, nazis, all kinds of traitors walk amongst us.
I wish to give them John Browns mercy. But preferably on my terms.
amen
I saw a lot of people holding American flags get flipped off. It really did pan out exactly like this. Like they hate America.
Oh man, we got a fair few middle fingers. 70/100 cars honked in support, then about 3/100 flipped us off or gave a thumb down.
Hilariously, a few honked while flipping us off, and 90% of the protesters couldn't see them inside their cars with their windows up (cowards)... So it just seemed like they were supporting us, and everyone cheered.
I'm in a small town, and we had all of three hecklers show up. They just stood there pathetically, called us communists, and looked more and more nervous as more and more protesters showed up. They fucked off pretty quick.
A bunch of people flipped us off, and one person tried to roll coal on us, but it was pretty pathetic. His truck wasn't set up to roll coal, so it wound up looking like he was trying to intimidate us with his car problems. Quite a lot of laughter was had, and I imagine he wasn't happy with that outcome at all.
Overall, most of the passerby were supportive, and we didn't have any problems.
Oh interesting! We had a few that would honk but have grumpy/neutral faces instead of the usual smiles. I was wondering if they were just stoic or i misidentified which car was honking... Anger honking that everyone thinks is support is hilarious. To be honest though, I smiled and waved even friendlier at the detractors. We're doing this for you too
We had one counter-protester show up with a big flag and an "I love Trump" t-shirt. He stood facing a group of people and tried to look intimidating. It didn't work. People were mostly laughing at him. Meanwhile the cars going by were constantly honking and waving. It honestly looked like he was there in support unless you could see his shirt which nobody driving by could.
We got a middle finger and a drive-by exhausting but that was about it
They always do. We’ve always had to live with state protected right wing terrorism in this country. It’s just getting a whole lot worse very fast. and it will continue to get worse until good people stop it.
It was a truly joyful expression of our rights here in the war zone of Chicago.
