No Kings March in San Diego. Marching North on Pacific Hwy. Just north of Broadway.

This is an 18 minute video. A little jittery at the begin, because, I was extending the selfie stick.
Enjoy.

I watched a local video from a non MSM site and the person said what I had reported, almost word for word. I realized that I am a pretty good reporter. My observations and assessments are fairly accurate.

We had a few people that flipped us the finger and one that revved his car and sped off. This, right in front of the police station and a cruiser flew out after him and pulled him over. I hope he got a ticket.

All in all, it was a very good day. Lots of honking and thumbs up!

in support of the protesters. After a protest, when I am walking to my car I hold my sign up high and when cars honk I yell, "Thank you!" and give them a thumbs up. Also, I have the part of a party horn with me at all protests so I can use it to encourage fellow marchers and drivers to be strong and honk in support.

A few years ago I would see the typical tour buses going through the area (it's a tourist destination) mostly filled with senior citizens and these seniors were rude!!! That's the ONLY time I ever have encountered negative feedback. Since they are not San Diegans I don't care what the hell their opinions are.

Hands Off had about 40,000 people. NO KINGS June 14th had about 80,000. Yesterday had more than that. I keep track of the numbers of protesters and marches, almost like an accountant.

San Diego REALLY hates tRump and Vance a lot!

It's a 48 minute video, but you can watch it to see if there are any familiar faces. I was impressed at the number of participants in the march.

I am a loud activist and the chants fire me up. Since I taught 1st graders I have a very strong voice (from yelling over the kids).

I prefer Waterfront Park since it has a little more room to move. Also, I discovered a slightly elevated spot at Waterfront Park where you can stand and look down at all the protesters who were not done the march yet. I like to be in the very front and I move very swiftly. When the local groups burn sage for good luck I love the smell. The protesters at the front usually have the sage.

On June 14th when I saw the sea of people merge I started to cry a little bit, it was a very passionate display of resistance.

I have a purse just for my protests with all my supplies ready to go. The maps I always bring help me a lot since so many streets go "one way" for only a block or two and I get confused. I'm a pedestrian by nature. After one protest it took me 45 minutes to find where I parked my car due to the "one way" stuff. Now I make a little map of exactly where I park my car.
