pointed downwards, and kindly tell me what they signify - ?

Also please note, their gathering was so large, they needed their own security!! (see cop on left)

Corn dogs for everyone, yes!!

They looked pretty pathetic with their 'don't tread on me flags' and USAUSA chant. They retreated pretty darn quickly once tens of thousands of marchers showed up. They'll be extinct pretty soon if the don't change... victims of their own selfishness and proud ignorance.

Another guy standing off to the side spouted at times but was scared. I had to drag my husband away from interacting with him.

Thousands upon thousands marching for gun laws and a handful of paranoid idiots. It's hard to imagine how they've been in control for so long when there are so few of them.

While a lot of our people complain “but it’s a workday!” and don’t show up. It has to change.

...so I was thinking a lot more might show up, since they were in the area anyway! I know that if I were attending an event at the convention center and it would be that easy for me to go counter-protest, I would not miss the chance!!!

of newly-purchased weapons and attendant ammo...I guess...

Well, that’s my take, anyhoo

Thanks so much, I’m half-obsessed with your photo here and don’t know why, have I gone mad or - oh well

ALSO, do you have any clue what half-covered sign says??

If the dumbass wasn't holding it down against the fencing, maybe his sign could have been read! LOL! Kinda defeats the purpose, eh?

"Don't disarm teachers"? I didn't think they were armed yet. I thought that was just a worthless suggestion by the Great Orange Thinker.

Not that there is anything wrong with a little gender twist like that but maybe it's just the angle in pic
