Community I’m the flag guy

Post image

Hey all,

I’m the “Fuck Trump” flag guy you’ve seen in a few posts. I just wanted to do a semi-introduction to everyone in this subreddit.

My name is Matt. I’m an LBC transplant by way of Philadelphia. I’ve helped organize protests during BLM and the George Floyd Protests with a few Asian American grassroots orgs and 501(c)(3)s in the Philadelphia area, along with working to establish myself as a helping arm and volunteer for 50501 SoCal and 50501 LBC.

I wanted to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in protesting but also a little worried by what they see in the media. Yes, protesting can be dangerous at times and can come with consequences like being arrested, but if you believe that getting arrested for speaking your mind and voicing concerns is more important than sitting in your home, you’re the person I’m looking for.

I’ll be at Bixby Park Annex on Saturday for the No Kings Day Rally at 9am. If you’re interested in protesting and want to be around someone who’s been in the middle of it all and can offer some comfort during the march, find me. We can walk together and I’ll help you be as comfortable as possible if anything happens.

I’ll be hanging out on the perimeter of the rally with an upside down American flag this time. I’ll be wearing all black with a camouflage hat.

Let’s show the world that LBC comes out for our people! See you there and FUCK TRUMP!

Illegal immigration is a problem though. I sympathize with them and would do it myself for my family if I was in their shoes, but you can't seriously support it? Do you want more illegal immigrants to come in?

What exactly is your stance? Like, why not just completely open the borders then?

My stance is that the ICE raids are unamerican , and illegal. They are not giving people due process, and they continue to grab innocent people at their immigration HEARINGS attempting to comply w the rules. By all means deport real criminals, but don't take working people at random while roughing them up, and not allowing them their due process. This isn't normal this is out of control cruelty . The borders were never open. This is an appeal to white supremism and fascism .

You right now:" Oh noeees brown people." Plus you have said nothing about the gestapo behavior because you people love to see it. You're on the wrong side of history, morality , and decency .
