Kansas City 'No Kings' Rally: Antifa Hate Or Freedom Fight?!?

Snark to start . . . 

TKC didn't know antifa deployed their senior citizen brigade because the last time around most of the protesters were over 60 and mostly middle-class white people. 

In fact . . . Guv Kehoe kinda earned a bit of embarrassment after deploying the National Guard against a crowd that clearly was starting to develop mobility issues.

Of course the rally was totally peaceful . . . Even if the line at the coffee shop afterwards got a bit tense. 

Nevertheless . . . 

In fairness . . . We take the counterpoint SOMEWHAT seriously: 

DO KANSAS CITY "NO KINGS" PROTESTERS REALLY HATE AMERICA?!?

Context . . . That's actually a classic question that was also thrown at anti-war protesters in the Vietnam-era i.e. the "Love It Or Leave It" mantra. At first the criticism was cutting and dissuaded a great deal of resistance. HOWEVER, as public sentiment changed . . . The tactic stop working. And all this merely proves that this REALLY is an old-school meetup as far as our cowtown goes . . . 

Either way . . . 

Here are quotes from both sides . . . 

Organizers of the "No Kings" protests are projecting that millions of Americans will demonstrate against the policies of the Trump administration on Saturday, amid ongoing ICE arrests and the deployment of National Guard troops to several Democratic-run cities around the country.

Meanwhile . . . From the other side . . .

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a separate interview on Fox News on Friday also linked the protests to antifa. “The theory we have right now [is] they have a ‘Hate America’ rally that’s scheduled for Oct. 18 on the National Mall,” Johnson said. “It’s all the pro-Hamas wing and the antifa people, they’re all coming out.”
