Along with a bunch of people from my church, and my son, if I can convince him to come along. The local teanuts "Patriots for Christ" are planning a counter protest. It sounds like they may want to provoke some violence, but I don't think the local progressives are buying it. If I see some links afterwards, I'll post them here.

The counter protesters numbered about 20. Seriously, just a couple dozen.

But the pro-immigration, pro-refugee side had lots of great signs, enthusiasm, and a powerful voice.

KWWL showed about 30 seconds, between the story about the dog drowning in the Cedar and a Super Bowl story
