Uncomfirmed post on a Facebook pro-Democratic site claiming

that there is a report that members of the Proud Boys may attempt to attack cops at a No Kings rally so that Trump can send in the military. The advice they gave them was that if they see violence, sit down and only let the provocateurs standing.

Anyone hear of anything? I understand that some of these protests are winding down after a successful protest.

as many other protests are wrapping up, or already done. Maybe San Deigo?

in my area in different towns in KCMO and surrounding suburbs. The one in KC apparently was extremely large and no violence. At 5pm news they said the one in KC was starting to break up for the day.

Way more young people (30 and under) in attendance, including a lot of teenagers; also way more families with small kids. The June event, though about 10% bigger, was largely a gray-haired event. Not this time!
