Marches & Protests

[MadamSarcastra]

This is sort of a general, all-inclusive protest/march thread, to avoid any confusing cross-over. I figured today was as good a day as any to start it....

Jer & I were watching live.... There must be at least three million marching... and there's only three million NRA members.

Thanks for this thread. There’s going to be some overlap with other threads, but it’s nice to have a dedicated thread on the subject.

Yeah, I was getting pretty jumbled myself.... Does this go in Trumpocalypse? Does this go in the Guns thread? LOL


**sigh** Now, after watching all those speeches, I need to compose myself enough to run some errands.... still choking up....

The estimate is that between 10,000 and 20,000 turned out in St. Louis, which is a lot for this area, especially considering the weather we had today.

But then I read the comments in response to the article in the local paper, and I am reminded that I live in the midst of the kind of people who approve of dt. Thousands march in downtown St. Louis for gun control; McCaskill says rally could be 'tipping point'

My favorite sign of the ones I saw at the local march:

WGWJO
What Gun Would Jesus Own
