Update On Anti Trump Protest In Salisbury, Maryland

See, this is a peaceful protest, but this is also a community event with food, activities, and performances. I have booked this venue through the mayor and city police department, same way anyone having an event downtown would. So the fact that 'Resist the Resistance' thinks that they can crash an event and venue that they did not receive permission to be at is just kind of droll to me. They say we're entitled 'snowflakes' and that our protest is 'pointless and dumb' and that we're going to 'cause chaos' so their idea on how to combat that, is to: 1.protest, and 2. cause chaos by trying to crash an already booked event.

James Yamakawa FYI, my brother-in-law and his two kids are coming in from Towson that morning and will come to the rally. Towson as we all know is close To Baltimore, which means we will now be accused of bringing in outside agitators.

Editors Notes: James, If you think by even the slightest chance there might be a confrontation, WHY would you even consider and even go so far as to invite children? 

Holly J Baldwin Anyone tying to "resist" the messages that will clearly be on display at a community event focused on unity will look foolish and crass. The vision is obviously coming together, and an atmosphere filled with warmth and welcome, much like a celebration of diversity, will disarm and confuse them, and obviously send a positive message out into the city. Most citizens of the city aren't interested in seeing any of their neighbors targeted, or hurt in any way. It's a small minority who are agitating. Stay the course, focus on outreach to the community and perception will work itself out.

Editors Notes: You talk about unity, how can you be going to a RESIST rally and speak of UNITY?

Donald Ross It is good that police will be there. Keep those phone cameras hot and ready. Don't get sucked in if they try to rouse your anger. Stay positive, focused and on point.

Editors Notes: Paranoid much?

Ron Pagano I don't ever recall a time when there were refugees FROM the US, unless we count those slaves who escaped to Canada during the Civil War. Were there any refugees from the McCarthyism era, or the Japanese WWII internment? This is a time that will live in infamy, when people were leaving the US in order to protect themselves from harassment, injury, and/or death! Steve Bannon must be very proud of his Catholic faith and his ties to the right-wingers in the Vatican.

Editors Notes: These are not refugees FROM the United States, they are ILLEGALS/REFUGEES from other countries.

Ron Pagano It seems that they are the only ones talking with words that incite. Do they have a permit? Suggestion: Don't get into a shouting match with these folks! We are all passionate about what we believe and there will always be someone who can shout louder than you. Talking calmly, without inciting someone, is the way we get our message across, while frustrating their intent to cause a confrontation.

Editors Notes: I have personally witnessed you at these rallies and you are far from quiet and calm. Your rallies in D.C., it was your peaceful left wing members who set a limo on fire. In Baltimore, well, we don't even have to go there, do we.

Ron Pagano Of course, this is "fake news"!! (sarc) No one in their group will accept facts presented to them. They are too enraged by the doublespeak of Trump, insulting and demeaning the news media, as well as our judiciary. I have never heard comments come from a President that have been so divisive, misleading and without a foundation in truth. As bad as Nixon was in private, he never acted like that in public. Trump has no filter, and as a result, neither do many of his supporters!

Editors Notes: Today we will deliver a video of many of the "Fake News" brought on by the liberal media. TRUTH is, Trump wants to rid of ILLEGALS in the U.S..

Ron Pagano Have the police been informed of their intention to disrupt what has been planned as a peaceful rally/protest? They should be aware of it so they are prepared to haul off anyone causing a disturbance. My response to anyone causing disruption is, "I will persist!" Thank you, Molly, for all your work!

Editors Notes: You will persist?

Susan Doyle Likovich I will contact them tomorrow.

Editors Notes: Will you be doing this on County time?

Matt Heim You should let them know about the comments made by Duke Brook on the Resist the Resistance page. They were particularly inflamatory and he has an afternoon radio program on 92.7 fm. They can't do anything about his rhetoric, but it would be good to monitor his broadcast to see what kind of flames he is fanning.

Editors Notes: Is freedom of speech only for the Liberal Party?
Jackie Wellfonder
It was wonderful to just receive some kind words, support, and encouragement from colleagues here at SU. It's hurtful when people think they can threaten and scare you and potentially affect your employment. Grateful to be in an environment where diversity and freedom of thought is encouraged.

Editors Notes: It's not always all about you Jackie. Please provide ANY such mentioned and alleged threats, or is this just more "Fake News". 

Molly, you have done a superb job of consistently defying the negativity and continuing to emphasize the message of peace and unity! Really looking forward to hanging out with a couple hundred amazing friends next weekend!! 

Editors Notes: One has to wonder how many hundreds of conservatives will also be attending. I mean, your group didn't have to attend the Presidential inauguration, why are you people so pissed off?

You call this peaceful?
