Nationwide no Kings Day protest were held with over 12 Million Americans taking to the streets in protest of Trump Administration policies. Most reported no incidents of violence nor destruction of property.
The Alamogordo Protest took place at the intersection of 10th and White Sands Blvd. The event was peaceful with a police presence. Police vehicles were positioned in nearby medians, and on the perimeter of the protest area in observation to ensure all remained peaceful by both sides. The APD reported no escalated issues reported to them and that the event was peaceful and organizers were respectful.
There were isolated incidents of individuals yelling profanities out their windows and one individual threw a water bottle at a protester. One individual at the protest started to engage negatively with an individual in a car but he was asked to leave and did so so as to not create any escalations.
Local organizers were pleased with the turn out reporting that around 250 individuals checked in or popped by. Some stayed for 20 or 30 minutes just to express support while others stayed the whole event.
Organizer suggest this was the largest local protest yet and that more will continue until the administration changes course on many of its policies.

It's the height of riot season, brought to you by Democrats, and sponsored in part by George Soros, the socialist party, and the American Federation of Teachers, among others.
Rioting is nothing new for Democrats, first blood in the civil war was drawn by Democrats protesting in support of slavery in Baltimore, who engaged Union troops that were just passing through their city on the way to support Union troops who were surrounded in SC. Sound familiar?
As for the "local" protest, many who were there were not from the Alamogordo area. I was stopped by a person who claimed to be an Egyptian national in a newer SUV who was trying to panhandle money from me for food for 2 women he had in the vehicle with him. I believe he was also trying to **** for the women.
Thankfully this might very well be the last "Summer of Love" by Democrats, as the funding for these paid protests is being aggressively targeted.
I disagree with this

i sympathize for you poor trump worshipers....his 1ST ANNUAL GRAND BIRTHDAY PARADE, with the bands and tanks and rockets and troops, fizzled like a wet firecracker. most estimates were about half the expected 200,000 actually showed up. luckily dear leader was able to doze off several times - so was spared of some of the depressing spectacle. but, numerous attendees said the fireworks were great.
staged at a cost to taxpayers of about $45 million dollars...that would figure about $450.00 per attendee...so while it was free for the trump worshipers - the rest of us pay through the nose.
on the other hand, there were at least 2000 NO KINGS protests spread throughout the country (and in other nations), with estimates of attendance as high as 6 million people - which would be about 2% of the entire population. alamogordo witnessed about 250 who came out in the heat, to clearly say NO KINGS IN OUR COUNTY.
dream on about soros paying for these protests - it's just AMERICAN'S speaking out against the damage billionaires are inflicting on our country.

Finally something we can agree on, billionaires damaging the country.
Two thirds of the top 15 billionaires in this country are registered Democrats, and they've been doing a lot of damage.
But the days of paid protests and insurrections are coming to an end.
And yes, the L.A. riots can be considered an insurrection. Armed and violent resistance to federal officers lawfully fulfilling their duties.
Democrats have called January 6th an insurrection, but we are finding out that it was Antifa members who actually started the unlawful acts.
I believe a lot of Democrat lawmakers will be on trial with in the next year for inciting violence, and aiding and abetting violent protestors and insurrectionists.
It wouldn't be hard to put together criminal charges against Pelosi, Newsom, and quite a few others just from their public statements and actions.

6 million people, that's quite impressive, and I understand that many of them, maybe even a majority were even U.S. citizens. Very impressive.
But I remember another protest in which at least 77 million people (all of which were U.S. citizens) came out to protest in 3112 locations, 2778 of which went against "Broke and Woke", they called that protest an election.

yeah, and there's another one of those scheduled for early november next year...called the mid-term election. i'll bet you a dime to a donut that it doesn't work out so hot for the maga team.
contrary to your information, "outside agitators paid for by soros" is a fiction spun for maga consumption by the heritage foundation, leonard leo, and peter theil.
the J6 invasion of the congress was an antifa job? are you aware that dear leader pardoned all those convicted of federal crimes - and all those fine upstanding individuals were trumpers. you really do live in a fairy land....

John, I have a sign that states the philosophy of our rallies:
"NO ONE PAYS US TO BE HERE. WE DO IT FOR FREE"
This group depends on attendees donating ice and water and we have purchased other items out of our own pockets. Because we believe that the US should be a free country, not a dictatorship under a wanna be king.
Believe me, no one wants to stand in the 100 degree temps, but we show up anyway. FOR FREE(DOM)!!!
