I saw some national news that indicated that up to 300 armed local men and women showed up to protect downtown Coeur d’Alene from a reported ANTIFA protest. ANTIFA didn’t show, but a couple pallets of bricks did.

If only we could learn from your citizenry and pass the formula on to other cities. I’m thankful that when we come to visit your fair city in July that your beautiful town will be well-protected. Best wishes in your efforts to preserve that which those wish to destroy.
