penultimatestraw 473 Posted August 18, 2017 I met at the state capital to attend a hearing about outdoor recreation laws. It wasn't a protest per se, but a gathering of people to show support for maintaining outdoor access, which a proposed bill would severely limit. I think this would be a good protest to attend, and it's the same day as the MOAR: https://www.juggalomarch.com If you’ve any interest in politics, rapping clowns, and/or the intersection of the two, you’ve probably heard by now that the National Mall has been double-booked on September 16, with the pro-Trump “Mother of All Rallies”—presumably named to honor the mothers who will be dropping protesters off at the march—set to collide with ICP’s planned Juggalo March on Washington. The Juggalo march is in protest of the FBI’s classification of ICP fans as a “loosely organized hybrid gang,” a label organizers say has unfairly cost Juggalos jobs and custody of their children, and encouraged police harassment of Juggalos. Save for this one issue, ICP is not an explicitly political band, and there are some pro-Trump Juggalos. But the overlap between the Juggalo March and rabid Trumpies is likely to be minimal. Juggalos view their community as a loving family that accepts everyone just as they are, which is the opposite of what Nazi pricks—or, as they prefer to be known, “white nationalists”—advocate. And, in the unlikely venue of a Time magazine editorial on last year’s wave of creepy clown sightings, ICP’s Violent J had this to say about the clowns in Washington: These clowns threaten the very fabric on which our nation was supposedly founded upon—and for some f—ing crazy-a– reason, they’re getting away with it. From keystone-cop clowns shooting unarmed citizens, to racist clowns burning down Islamic centers or clowns in the NSA spying on us through our cell phones and laptops, America has turned into something far more terrifying than Insane Clown Posse’s Dark Carnival.

tubby_mcgee 686 Posted August 18, 2017 There are a lot of things I strongly support. But I would never think of going and walking around invading other peoples physical space just for me to give them my opinion.

BufordT 371 Posted August 18, 2017 True I thought about going to a local Trump rally but didn't want to deal with left and how violent they are Smart thinking!! You might've had to delay the Disney trip if something bad happened. There are a lot of things I strongly support. But I would never think of going and walking around invading other peoples physical space just for me to give them my opinion. Marching around with signs are just...yeah...I'd never do it in a million years. This is pretty much where I'm at....would never do it. No man, that's the biggest waste of time. Protests are part of the problem, not the solution. Tend to agree. Has there ever been a protest that accomplished anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,556 Posted August 19, 2017 Just parades. As a kid for Little League or Boy Scouts or school sports teams. Then later with politicians I supported or with Veterans groups. I also participated Focus: HOPE sponsored events which is a Detroit based group that promotes tolerance and understanding between the city and the suburbs. I certainly would have also joined anti-Iraq War protests had I been around for them and would have attended any anti-George W. Bush rally. I probably would attend environmental rallies as well if they were nearby and I had time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
