No Kings Day White Bear Lake [1]

I was determined to attend a No Kings event today. I considered going to the one at the MN State Capitol but when I saw one in a nearby suburb I decided that was more my style. I found it on the No Kings Day website and I RSVP’d for it a few days ago.
This morning we found out about the horrendous assassination of a State Representative and her husband and another Representative who was attacked. I actually received a text from the governor and another from what I assume was someone at the No Kings group recommending we don’t attend an event for safety reasons.
But I dismissed that for several reasons.
First, I really wanted to go and also because I couldn’t imagine that guy would have the nerve to appear in public. He also shot at cops so they have extra motivation to track him down. Also the state Capitol event was well under way so they were not cancelling.
I did attend the event and I would estimate the crowd at 200-300. I would describe it as a street lining honk fest. The mood was peaceful and joyous. Everyone had their own homemade sign. The best feeling I had was solidarity, with the other protesters and the many people honking and waving as they drove by. It’s the same feeling I get when I go on Daily Kos. It tells me i am not alone and it confirms my beliefs about what is going on.
So don’t give up Kosacks and don’t be afraid because there are many of us out there who feel just like you.
