KINGMAN – People across the nation gathered Saturday, June 14 for ‘No Kings’ protests. Local protesters gathered at Locomotive Park in downtown Kingman with approximately 100 participants.
Alleged antagonizers visited the morning protest, but most stuck with flipping an occasional bird through a car window passing by. Kingman Police Department officers monitored the protest throughout the afternoon.
“I want to be a proud American, but with the way things have been going right now, there hasn’t really been a lot of reasons to be proud,” said one participant. “I’m here to keep my oath to the United States Constitution,“ said another participant.
“I grew up saying the Pledge of Allegiance to a flag that ends in liberty and justice for all, and I am going to fight to my dying breath for liberty and justice for all, period,” commented another participant.
“I am here as a retired federal employee and I am really dissatisfied with what this president of the United States is trying to do. He’s trying to turn America into a third world country destroying one agency at a time,” said another participant. Yet another said, “We have dumped tea for less.”
On the end of the protesters, one or two aggravations such as chanting, took place during the event.”
Although Kingman attracted a large crowd, Bullhead protests reportedly received many more visitors. The protests in both cities remained peaceful.
