This goes to prove just how bullshit this whole movement is.
The Pulse shooting happened in June of 2016, when Obama was President, but the protest is going to happen at Trump’s golf course.
Omar Mateen’s father was an FBI informant and said nothing about the shooting.
Mateen’s wife knew something was up and admitted to lying to the FBI, but was acquitted at trial for helping him.
The FBI had even interviewed Mateen three times, but failed to notice anything that they could have used to prevent the shooting.
The victims of the shooting are now suing the city of Orlando and the Orlando Police for their craptastic response to the shooting.
But none of that matters.
They have to protest Trump for gun control.
Everybody can lie to the FBI and the FBI themselves can bumblefuck an investigation while Obama was President and because of that, you and I have to lose our gun rights.
These people don’t care about the Pulse victims or even want to prevent the next shooting, they just want to use this to advance their cause.
You forgot: weeks after the shooting, Mateen’s father was on stage with Hillary at a campaign rally.
Yes, an Islamist politician still trying to get power in his home country despite being in the US, whose son had just comitted mass murder in the name of their faith, was on stage with one of the major presidential candidates.
That Twitter account is no longer active. Wonder why.
I am going with “Be advised, Secret Service is chomping at the bits.”
There had better be police there to arrest every single one of them for trespassing the moment they don’t leave when told to. And press charges, make them have to incur at least some cost even if just in time to show up.
thepissedoffprinter is right about the best response is plenty of police and security there to make arrests. If we are lucky, maybe some of their armed bodyguards will go to far and get their Second Amendment rights revoked.
“Locally, protesters expect to gather at 9:45 a.m. on Flager Drive, across the water from the private Mar-a-Lago estate.”
They are smart and not going near Mar-a-lago. They will be protesting on the mainland with about a quarter mile of water between them and the club.
I wonder if any of the protesters will notice their noble leaders have armed guards? I hope none of them panic and start shrieking, “Gun! He has a gun! He is going to shoot us!”
Why aren’t these guys protesting the Democrats who rejected the “terrorist watchlist ban” compromise put out by Republicans in response to the Pulse shooting? I mean really, the Dems scream and throw hissy fits for gun control, and the Republicans finally cave and say ok (because this shooting caught the Venn diagram cross between gun control and terrorism control). The Republicans make a slight change to add some sort of due process in an effort to make it constitutional and the Dems say “no, its got to be exactly our way or nothing”. Ok then, you get nothing. It just goes to show that all these partisan hacks are more about grandstanding the issue for votes than actual gun control.
