Oath Keepers ~~break their promise~~ change plans, bail on planned far-right protest at Maxine Waters' office

[LATimes] "But at 1 p.m., police at the protest site said authorities had been in contact with the group, and it had decided not to come in order to ensure peace."

For her part, Waters urged counterprotesters to stay away. She noted that the organization, which at various points over the last decade has formed militias across the country, also has a history of attempting to provoke violence.

"The Oath Keepers would like nothing more than to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community," Waters said in a statement.
But...
That didn’t stop around 50 counterprotesters from arriving outside her office by 12:40 p.m., some from the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 36.

"We’re here to defend our community and the members of our union against the hostile threat of this violent organization that’s coming into our neighborhood with an agenda that is opposed to our interests," said union organizer Cliff Smith. He said he and his group would not be 'baited into confrontations.'

A number of protesters remained near the intersection of 102nd Street and Broadway long after police announced the Oath Keepers were no-shows. For much of this time, the mood remained festive, although it was punctuated with moments of tension.

At one point, counterprotesters pulled a small American flag off of a pickup truck, doused it in lighter fluid and set it ablaze. The crowd then began chanting, cursing the government and saying, 'America was never great.'"

#2 The oath keepers have a history of doing this. Spouting off at the mouth then not following through.

The thing that they don't realize with this is this is the real stakes now. If they don't show up, the left will see this as another scalp taken and just get even more violent next time as they think the right will just fold and go home.

Either put your money, body and freedom where your mouth is or keep your mouth shut and stay home and fondle yourself while watching The Deer Hunter.

#4 Lack of Professionalism by the Oath Keepers, in that:
1. The High Command didn't check to see that the Locals were ready, willing and able to engage; and/or
2. Oath Keepers are amateurs and not Rent-A-Mobs so they can't produce on demand?

#5 I think Trump nailed it when he said he wants the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters to keep their seats because it allows him to claim they are the face of the Democrat Party. That face is not pretty and may not do very well in November.

#7 My response is that the Maxine supporters who showed up gave crystal clear indication about the kind of folks who back Maxine and who were on call to create the violent storyline she is hoping for.....this is classic Communist agitprop tactics folks, wonder where they got the playboks, does the DNC have a lending library?
