Many fear Trump's visit to Tulsa could spark violence

Wise assessment. When you get that many pro-Trump KKK members, militia groups, white supremacists, "Q" believers, and other domestic terrorists and kooks in one location, history shows you're likely to have violence....

And is Trump brilliant or what? He can sure pick a location...

Tuesday marked the highest single-day total yet in new COVID-19 cases in Oklahoma.

That count came on the heels of successive days in which the deadly disease has far exceeded peaks in April and on the lead up-to significant political activity in downtown Tulsa.

*Tulsa County has the highest number (1,729) of confirmed cases of any county in the state, despite having a population more than 20% smaller than Oklahoma County, the state’s most populous county, which has reported 1,673 cases.*

Tulsa - where virus cases are now higher than at any time - and the highest in the entire state.

Perfect place to put 19K people together inside without any masks, right?

And remember, even if you do catch the virus, you signed a waiver and can't sue....

What a deal! Enjoy that rally Trump supporters!

And the almost comical end will be getting stiffed by trump for the extra security and all associated costs. The absurdity of the whole scene ... Comedy Central couldn't write this script.

They will be left with a big bill and a new Covid hot spot!

oh so now its a "two day" celebration of one date?

would overlap a two-day local celebration of Juneteenth, which marks the end of slavery in the country.

The festival for this year was cancelled by the city on May 28th until 2021.

so the rally isnt "overlapping" or distracting from anything.

Hmmmm....yesterday you were calling Trump's rally a "protest"....???????

But the best and most accurate name is no doubt "Trump 2020 Extravaganza and Catch the COVID rally"...

Come on down and get infected....

And whenever the BLM and ANTIFA and other radical groups shows up, they're the first ones to instigate violent protests, riots and any means necessary to make their demands known. That's their standard M.O.

This shouldn't be a new concept for you.

Sure, and who has all the assault rifles?

If there is no white supremacy violence his only hope to win 2020 is to annex Venezuela, nuke Iran or invade NK.

strange, all are the same as his arch rival Bolton.

Provocative act by trump regardless of what his blind adorers state. It was absolutely no coincidence he scheduled the rally on the exact date of Juneteenth celebrations.

The Rev. Al Sharpton is among the speakers at the Juneteenth observance in the Greenwood district,

With the race-baiter Sharpton in attendance, violence is all but guaranteed.

With the race-baiter Sharpton in attendance

The label has been applied. Now the right feels they no longer need to debate anything he may say. "He's just a race-baiter, safe to ignore".

With Trump supporters including the Boogaloo Bois, EURO, 3%ers, KKK, among any number of other white separatist, national socialist groups made up of thugs attending and probably packing weapons, it will be another risky day for police. But as the alt right claim, the police are their enemies. Too bad everyday taxpayers will have to pay higher taxes because of Trump's rally and the thugs he attracts like flies to BS.

What is with this explosion of right-wing hate groups in the US, that are rioting in the streets? Why have they increased to this breaking point during Trump's presidency?

Strangerland - The label has been applied. Now the right feels they no longer need to debate anything he may say. "He's just a race-baiter, safe to ignore".

Lots of people are safe to ignore. Sharpton isn't one of them. Sharpton's racist supporters bring hate, and discontent, wherever they go. Rioting and looting will follow. Democrats, socialists, communists, antifa, and the biased news outlets will justify the rioting, and looting, as necessary, or acceptable.

Democrats, socialists, communists, antifa, and the biased news outlets will justify the rioting, and looting, as necessary, or acceptable.

And that'll be countered by some Republicans (not all are horrible people), white supremacists, fascists and groups like the Boogaloo Bois, 3%ers, KKK etc etc, others in the the alt right (and their global supporters), backed by the fringe/kook media.

A sad statement about the current state of the republic. But still preferable to a full-out authoritarian state like Xi led China, Bolsonaro led Brazil, or the global alt right's hero Putin and his Russian Federation's variation.

I know of one group of masked “peaceful protesters” who are looking for “ultra-violence”. it just might take them awhile to get there with all those bricks in their backpacks. Gee, if I was a conspiracy theorist I’d say this headline is an MSM globalist calling card. Bhwa ha ha ha!
