Protest of just 3 people in Collinsville, OK (and people shit themselves)

Will your town be the next location protesters choose to demonstrate in?

Many communities are worried about the potential for vandalism.

At the Blessed Baker, Debbie Reed pulled in her outdoor chairs just to be safe.

"I had heard that they might come and protest at around 4 o’clock today," she said.

Butcher Rick Hall made his presence felt by sitting outside his shop.

"Cause they’re supposed to protest and they ain’t going to tear my building up," he said.

Wanna see the protesters that got all those yokels' undies in a bunch? Do ya?!

One of their signs is quoting Desmond Tutu, a known black person and a foreigner. Another sign is quoting some guy named John, prolly another foreigner. What more evidence do we need?!

Remember that scene in Hairspray where she was *gasp* talked to by black people? How she acted in that scene is how Trump and people who support/worship him are acting right now.

Now, a whole town is afraid of a few white girls saying they disagree with murdering black people.

This is one screwed up country.

I wish they would bring the protests to smaller towns, just to watch my pro-Trump neighbors shit themselves.

I pulled it up on YouTube for a friend last week when this set of events started.


The background to the scene is that Penny's daughter is visiting a record shop and Penny comes to take her home. I forgot that the panhandler offered a drink as payment for a contribution.

I wish we could laugh. But people are being killed because of these crazy fears.
