Photo Diary: St Petersburg FL "No Kings" Protest [1]

Ya know, all I wanted to do was enjoy my retirement years, do some traveling, and have some fun until I check out of this hotel for good. But nooooooo … the fucking fascists had to come along and ruin everything for everyone.
So like many of us I had to go to the “No Kings” protest. We Americans rejected that whole “monarchy” thing wayyyy back in 1775. “Democracy” is worth defending, and what the hell, I might as well add another page or two to my FBI file. And it’s been a heck of a long time since I’ve been tear-gassed …
Anyway, the rally went great. It was spread out over several intersections and three blocks, so it’s hard to estimate the size (since I could not see it all at once), but I would roughly guesstimate around 6-7,000 people. Only two Trumpite goobers showed up that I saw, and they left pretty quickly. I presume the rest were at home watching their hero’s Red Square parade on TV.
There were only a few cops visible, and they were mostly just shooing people off the local mall’s parking lot. There was also a Sheriff helicopter circling overhead.
Some photos from the protest.
No kings! No billionaires! No military state!
Registering people to vote
This goober got mouthy but didn’t start any trouble
