The first San Carlos No Kings protest, entirely peaceful, was held in downtown San Carlos from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18.
More than 400 people attended, far exceeding organizers’ expectations. The program included brief remarks by organizers and then the singing of patriotic songs interspersed by comments from attendees. The event ended with the singing of the national anthem.
Many protesters joined others on El Camino Real or patronized local businesses and restaurants.
Thanks for your letter, Mr. Masci. Now when the singing of the national anthem occurred, did everyone remain standing or did some folks take a knee or two, like Biden did when he gifted Afghanistan to the Taliban? And what were the other patriotic songs? Were they patriotic for America? Because we’ve seen a few protests where America wasn’t being honored (think Hamas terrorist supporters). And why are you calling it a No Kings protest? If Trump were king, you wouldn’t be able to protest except maybe after being deported to Ukraine to be potentially conscripted as soldiers.
