The linked video contains a promotion but other than that, this guy makes a lot of sense. The thing about the video of the size of the crowd in Boston, is not surprising.

No Kings Day - Last Saturday In Texarkana
Well, there was supposedly going to be No Kings protests nationwide on, October 18, 2025 and that reportedly (according to local news media) included one in Texarkana, AR & TX at the federal court house (as spelled on the building face as opposed to courthouse as found in a dictionary, go figure) and post office. The court house/post office sits more or less evenly divided on the border of those two states. I took Skye there after our morning visit to the dog park.
We got there around 1025 to check it out; it was slated to commence at 1000. Mind you I did not say, I was planning to participate in the protest, we were there just to attend and watch the goings on from a safe distance. As usual, when I go almost anywhere where it is legal, I was armed for self-defense. I figured to get some photos of grungy anarchists being arrested and such but if someone was to attack me, I wanted to be ready to keep myself from being harmed. Anyway, I would probably have been far enough away not to attract any psycho protestors, and there certainly seem to have been many of them (leftists) running rampant and attacking people for no legitimate reason as of late. Of course, it is always best to back-off from any violent confrontation if you can do so. Avoidance is key to not getting hurt but if you cannot back off then I think fighting back as opposed to hoping for your attacker to suddenly become merciful is the thing to do. Your opinion on that may differ but it is definitely my opinion that people who attack you are usually not looking to dispense mercy but rather are seeking to harm you. I have digressed, so back to the protest.
Guess what. There was not one protestor there when we arrived. So either it was a no show event except for Skye & myself, or it was the possibly the briefest No Kings protest ever - lasting less than 25 minutes if it started on time. Now, if you have read what little I have written about Texarkana, the veritable pimple on the joined backsides of AR & TX, then you know, I have little love if any for anything at all about this sad excuse for a twin city. Yet, since no one showed up for that protest, I now have developed a bit of a healthy respect for the folks who live here. After all, they were smart enough not to attends and I am guessing found themselves better things to do in the town that two governors forgot.
The first pic, shows that Skye & I were at what I thought would be a safe distance from the courthouse to observe the expected shenanigans, if in fact there had been protestors. The second shot was taken from just a bit closer to see it better.
That little red, white and blue sign in front of the federal courthouse, is the dividing marker between states. If you are on the viewer's left side of it, you'd be in TX and if on the right then in AR. As you can see, in the second photo, there is no graffiti on the building, no ANTIFA slogans or BLM balderdash and not any No Kings propaganda at all. It is as it should be. Thank you Texarkanans!
All the best,
Glenn B
