Anyone see this back in April? Email warning Pgh. police to be prepared with riot gear

[Mc Mike]

in case t Rump tries to fire Mueller or Rosenstein.

From WTAE reporter Marcie Cipriani, 4/18, cited in the link:

I picked it up from the British tabloid 'The Sun', yesterday. While looking for info on that Russian hacker with Pittsburgh connections named Evgeniy M. Bogachev, 'pollingsoon.'

It was really surprising to me to find out that we've been planning riots around here for months.

Lying pinhead nazis.

1. Yes, I remember reading that.

3. Well, my view from the ground is that we're not especially more agro about it

than anywhere else in the patriotic part of the US. I'm under a mile from Grant St., as the crow flies.

Simple statement about an open protest was made, months ago. If shithead tries to fire Mueller or Rosenstein, and news comes out before 2 pm, a protest occurs on Grant St at the City County Bldg, 5 pm that day. If news comes out after 2pm, the protest rally is at noon the next day, same place.

There's been no gearing up, constant discussion, high profile activity, noticeable rise in tempers or temperature. Nothing.

What makes this area appear to a 'progressive' Dem mayor to be unusually ripe for a breakdown in social order? Peduto's seeing something I'm not, and I go around with a Dump Drump pin on, all the time, all over the area.

It's bullhockey.

2. It was on our local news. I live in a tiny almost village well north of Pgh and

even a couple small towns near me have people ready to march immediately if either are fired.

4. My point is 'blink and you'd miss the coverage of it', locally. It isn't and wasn't a big story,

around Pgh. I didn't get an inkling, til 3 months after the fact. And I got it from a Brit tabloid, while looking for something completely different.

5. Yes I remember this, and I believe it was posted on DU

I remember commenting at the time that most of the Pittsburgh police would be sympathetic to us, if we ever did stage a protest over Mueller's or Rosenstein's firing.

7. I looked through the PA section, went back through all of April,

but didn't do a general google search. On edit: couldn't find it in a general google site search.

And I missed it, if it was posted at the time, in g.d. or lbn.

6. We are ready to march here,

and have been ready for months. We preregistered for a protest. No one wants riots. The calls are for peaceful demonstrations.

8. Always the first thing the sign up pages mention, 'law abiding, non violent' ground rules

for participation.

First signed up ~ January, in a response to Moveon, I think. Some other orgs sent the same sign up, or redirected to moveon's. So I started looking at theirs in Feb and March, started forwarding the original e-mail instructions to myself, every few weeks, so I wouldn't lose track of them, they'd stay near the top of my e-mail pile.

4/21 I got another one from PFAW, looked at the sign up redirect, and saw a second event listed, which unlike the original much larger confirmed signups event, had days and times listed in title description.

It changed start times to 6 pm instead of 5, changed cut off times to 3 pm instead of 2, eliminated the next day noon possibility in favor of a next day 6 pm one. I informed PFAW action's R.T. about that, via a successfully sent e-mail reply to their action sign up request. Looked like someone was creating a confusing alternate event around the same issue.
