Tri-Cities liquor agent's home targeted by Patriot Prayer activist for protest rally

https://amp.thenewstribune.com/news/state/washington/article247375014.html

The founder of a far-right activist group led a noisy demonstration Sunday outside the home of a Tri-Cities liquor license officer.

“It is people like you that destroy this community,” said Joey Gibson, the founder of Patriot Prayer in Vancouver, Wash. Reuters reported in September that Facebook took down Gibson’s and the Patriot Prayer pages as part of its efforts to remove “violent social militias.”

“It is unfortunate that these protesters would turn to protest at an officer’s home who is doing his job,” Brian Smith, spokesman for the Washington state Liquor and Cannabis Board, told the Herald on Monday.

How can anyone describe patriot prayer as an activist group.

I don’t consider violent thugs, who are more like a street gang, as activists.

Wasn't that an old Robert Heinlein story ? Sorry thought this applied to the OP. Up prepping all night. More inanity to come I am sure. Stay tuned while I inevitably drive my jury chances down to zero.

But in my experience, the words "Patriot" and "Prayer " usually precede having someone else's vision rammed down your throat.

And “Moral.” Probably “Freedom” too.

Shutting down their local = imprisoning them away from their rightful spot!
