My News LA actually wrote some fairly accurate, respectful reports about LA County for Trump and our counter-protest in favor of the President and his policies to protect the United States from illegal immigration.
The separation of illegal alien parents and children is simply another hollow talking point to foment a bunch of fake outrage against the President, nothing more.
Here is the first report, which included statements I had shared with the local city news service:
An event organizer said at least 20 people are expected to be at the
Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles Saturday to stage a counter-protest in
response to the “Families Belong Together” rally and march, in which thousands
of people opposed to the administration’s border policies are effort are
demonstrating.
“I imagine that more people will arrive, since local papers have
advertised our counter-protest,” event organizer Arthur Schaper of the group
L.A. County For Trump said Saturday morning.
The counter-protest is slated for 12:30 p.m. at the Federal Building,
535 N. Alameda St.
“We have a number of our members in L.A. County for Trump will be
broadcasting our counter-protest live on Facebook and YouTube,” Schaper said.
“We will also have posters, signs and shirts that commemorate Americans who
have been killed by illegal aliens.”
The “Families Belong Together – Freedom for Immigrants March” is
underway at Los Angeles City Hall, and is scheduled to end in front of the
immigration holding facility on Aliso and Alameda streets.
It is among more than 700 protests planned nationwide Saturday.
As we were driving home from the event around 2:45pm, I received a phone call from one of the staffers at the City News Service. She was surprised to hear that we had a police escort walk with us back to our cars. I then told her how we get attacked frequently for our views. Some of the hordes tried to rush past the police officers to assault us, too.
About 20 people were threatened and cursed while at the Federal
Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles Saturday to stage a
counter-demonstration in response to the “Families Belong Together” rally and
march, in which thousands of people opposed to the administration’s border
policies were demonstrating.
Organizer Arthur Schaper of the group L.A. County For Trump carried a
sign with pictures of American children allegedly killed by illegal immigrants.
“Somebody stole my sign,” he said. A YouTube video of the counter-demonstration
showed a woman picking up his sign when he accidentally dropped it and walking
away with it.
Yes, this crazy black lady did exactly that:
The pro-Trump demonstrators tried to be respectful of the Families
Belong Together protesters, Schaper said. “There were many threats made against
us,” he said. “One man threatened to shove a megaphone up my butt. They used
another word.”
Yes, he did. I also mentioned that one guy called us "Russian whores", then told us to get back on the Mayflower. Pretty nutty stuff!
The counter-demonstrators were escorted to their cars by motorcycle
officers from the Los Angeles Police Department as a result of the threats,
Schaper said.
The “Families Belong Together – Freedom for Immigrants March” was among
more than 700 protests held nationwide Saturday.
Final Reflection
We demonstrate on behalf of the present in large part because we want the wider public to realize that there is another set of opinions which does not agree with the protesters. It is essential for as many as are paying attention that Trump supporters are speaking out in Los Angeles County, and that we refuse to be intimidated or silenced.
