No Kings, Protest
Digest more
Across the country, relatively few disruptions were reported during protests and marches where the mood ranged from joyful to defiant.
People around the country turned out Saturday for protests against Donald Trump, which were timed with the president's military parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and coinciding with his 79th birthday.
Around 2,000 protests and rallies were planned nationwide, with thousands of people also attending staged “No Kings” events in Manitowoc, Sheboygan and Green Bay. Rallies were canceled in Minnesota out of caution following shootings targeting local lawmakers.
A mixture of chants, honking and cheers filled the air as more than a thousand people participated in the No Kings rally outside of the Collier County Courthouse in Naples June 14. The cluster armed with signs, flags and bullhorns spilled onto the sidewalks stretching from the intersection of U.S. 41 and Palm Drive to Airport Road South.
A handful of counter protestors moved to stand behind the line of No Kings protestors. They chanted "Trump" at the No Kings demonstrators holding up signs and a flag of their own. Justin Johnson, who's from Marion, was one of the demonstrators supporting Trump.
