I saw this post on facebook from the White House account that declared that President Trump and King Charles of Great Britain were Two Kings! That’s cool I thought and then remembered that I haven’t done a No Kings Protest post from the late March when Tulsa along with the rest of the country participated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is my second No Kings protest. The first one last fall, I painted a sign and everything and my wife and I went to the protest and held our sign up and had a great time. As did everyone else there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This time I just brought my camera. I saw a lively, chill crowd of all ages. Families, old folks, kids, some brought their dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lots of signs. I love the signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not a policeman in sight, nor were they needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There were lots of speeches. I’m not a speech listener. I’m not even a photographer, I am a picture taker! And I took a bunch of pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some people went to some lengths for their signs. Others were much simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t see any counter protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t see any signs that said “Two Kings.” I think Tulsan’s are okay with King Charles of England being King over there. He’s welcome to visit. He’s very gracious guy and kind of witty in that dry English manner. Plus he hasn’t sent his military over to threaten us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They come here to train. Years ago there were some British troops training at Oklahoma’s Camp Gruber. They came to Tulsa’s Drillers AA baseball team. They sat together and chanted soccer cheers. Everybody loved it. They drank massive amounts of malted beverage but they rode a bus back to camp so they were safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any no riots,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No anger, some strong language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just people expressing how they feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think the whole country made a statement. I think everyone is fine with not having a king.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
