Activists plan Saturday protest at Trump Tower

By Harper Neidig

Protesters are planning a massive demonstration Saturday in front of Trump Tower in Manhattan, according to The Wall Street Journal.

An organizer said more than 5,000 people are expected to attend the protest at Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's campaign headquarters.

They will gather in Columbus Circle at noon and march to the building, where they will protest for several hours.

“We will have a peaceful rally,” organizer Steven Hamlin told the Journal.

The event has been organized by a group called the Cosmopolitan Antifascists. Hamlin said this is the first event that they have put on, adding that they started planning it a month ago.

“We are against Donald Trump’s hateful and divisive rhetoric and think he is a threat to many of us,” Hamlin said.

Trump is scheduled to hold several campaign rallies in Arizona on Saturday.

After 1968, 1972, and having democrats tied to violent anti-war demonstrations, one might think somebody would figure that it is not productive.

That would require learning about, and from, history, and most people seem to have a hard time remembering what happened a year ago, let alone 10, 20, or certainly 48 years ago.

  Cosmopolitan Antifascists.

Sounds good but I'd be willing to bet they are anything but oriented toward a republic.

What war are they currently protesting at this event?

Now that's what I call irony.
