Re: Laguna Beach
No evidence, just impressions.
I asked her why she thought there were protestors being brought into town and she wrote me this:
Myself and others here in Laguna noticed on Friday the traffic and "tourists" were looking a little different than usual. The tattoo art is of a different content. All the hotel/motel rooms are rented this weekend, which is not the norm. The authorities have prepared for these "protestors" by bringing in back up. It's interesting to live where something like this happening. Talked to a shop owner yesterday. She is from India. She was/is afraid. Lots of helicopter activity.
Laguna Beach must be rather a sleepy place if she thinks it's interesting to have something like this happening.
Not much seems to be happening yet, maybe it will all fizzle out.

Re: Laguna Beach
Nothing hysterical about it, just a reasonable supposition that if there's going to be a right wing rally there are going to be Leftist "protestors" brought in, cuz that's their m.o. This kind of thing has been going on since Trump was elected but also before.

Re: Laguna Beach
But this should reassure you:
You know, I'm getting information that both sides of the protest are "tourists". It is an anti-immigration protest. The tattoos being noticed look like skinhead tattoos. So, I would say there are pro Trump and anti Trump representatives in town.

Re: Laguna Beach
The news story I linked somewhere back there was of anti-rally protestors lining the Coast Highway. Then it turns out skinheads had also decided to show up there. Looks to me like both showed up for the event.

Re: Laguna Beach
Not yet. But since they formed in the first place on the basis of all those incidents I referred to earlier which offer not a shred of justification for any kind of protest, AND they have on at least one occasion chanted threats to murder cops, until somebody told them not to, there's no rush, I'll get to it when I get to it.

Re: Laguna Beach
The problem is it's hard to get information that's trustworthy, but I THINK it started out as a local thing, and versions of it have been happening in Laguna over the last four or five months or something like that. A guy with the name Johnny Benitez is said to be the organizer of them all. He says he's from Colombia and came here legally and objects to the illegals. But then if you look him up you find out he's got other aliases and has been involved in quite a few pro-Trump events although he also has Socialist connections and lately white supremacist connections.
It seems to be more or less a standard pro-Trump rally but this time it was expected that some white supremacists would get in on the act and that drew the Leftist counter-protestors. It's not all that easy to figure out any of it I'm afraid.
It's going on right now on the beach according to some headlines I've found and the first report was of a peaceful rally, but then the usual shouting matches took over. By now who knows what's going on, I'll have to check again soon.
I can't copy the stuff I'm finding for some reason but it's all at "Laguna Beach Rally" in Google.

Re: Laguna Beach
I've used no hate speech at all. Leftists pretend everybody on the right is a racist but the racists are really on the Left these days. I don't even know what you are referring to for starters, but you ought to be suspended for namecalling and lying.

I see, a typical kneejerk excuse for calling people names. Like the whole idiot Left. Jews themselves identify faces as Jewish or not. Jerk.
There isn't a racist word in anything you've quoted of me.
Calling white people the cause of all the problems in the world is racist. If you need quotes you are way out of touch.
Talkiing about wanting to kill Jews is racist.
Identifying accusers pf racism as racists is racist these days. Figures. Obviously you're the racist in this discussion.
And when a discussion has degenerated to the point that the only topic is racism we can be sure we've entered Leftist Stupid Zone since Leftists have no ability to think above such mindless fingerpointing. No ability to tell the difference between illegality and racism, no ability to recognize that criminal provocation of a cop does not make the cop racist. What a bunch of jerks you all are.

Re: Laguna Beach
That sounds reasonable, but whenever I've heard of protestors being bussed in they are paid, they don't care about the issues, all they care about is the money, and they are sometimes instructed to be violent.

Nothing you've said about me is true, it's all your own hateful mentality talking.
I'm just glad there is going to be final justice in this universe against such hateful lies even though there isn't at EvC or anywhere the Left runs things.
