    Thousands of demonstrators pack downtown SLO for ‘No Kings’ protest 

    Rally was one of about 2,000 held nationwide

    – Several thousand people gathered downtown Saturday for the “No Kings” rally. Police closed streets at Monterey and Osos streets near the San Luis Obispo County Government Center.

    Attendance was estimated at 6,000 to 7,000, according to the San Luis Obispo County Democratic Party.

    County Supervisor Jimmy Paulding and other local Democratic leaders spoke at the event. A leader of the Democratic Party at Cal Poly addressed the crowd on the electronic jumbo screen.

    The San Luis Obispo rally was one of about 2,000 similar demonstrations held nationwide.

    No kings.. except when Gavin NewScum locked us down small businesses and ruined peoples lives, except for big corporations. He gave incentives to people to take drugs against peoples will, which is a crime against humanity, and wrecked the developmental learning for an entire generation. Anyone that tried to speak up was censored or their accounts were locked. We had to cover our faces even though we had proof that the masks didn’t work. Hey Gavin, where did you put the money that was donated and was supposed to go to those people that lost their homes and businesses in the fires. Gonna buy yet another mansion? No Kings eh?

    First, there were over 2700 No Kings protests nationwide. Second, 6-7000 protestors from all over SLO county is perhaps the largest demonstration in county history. Third, folks are pissed off at trump acting like he is a king. He is not a king – his polls show he is way underwater in all measures including immigration and the economy, only 37% positive. That means MOST people are not happy with him or his policies. The people are speaking and will take back power.
