On ‘No Kings Day’ on Saturday, arrests were made after people protested against Donald Trump’s authoritarian and lawless actions. Those arrested weren’t protesters; they were TACO supporters, including at least one Proud Boy. In Northern Virginia, a man, Joseph R. Checklick Jr, 21, intentionally drove an SUV through a crowd of departing protesters, striking at least one person, police said.
Members of the far-right fascist Proud Boys group appeared at a “No Kings” protest in Atlanta, wearing the group’s black and yellow colors. Something about free speech genuinely bothers Trump supporters.
In Florida, Stephen Libardon, 65, from Silver Springs, was charged with battery after pushing a protester, an act that officers witnessed.
