Fort Worth Kamala rally thread. Seems to be a few hundred people here (including the other side of the street, where there was less civility). Here’s where Kamala arrives.
More enthusiasm for Harris. Note the guy in the black “security” hoodie. He is detained by the police later on.
The crowd chants “Fuck Trump” as some Trump supporters drive by. I counted at least 8 children here in total.
A Trump supporter is spotted on the other side of the street. Bystanders confirmed to me that he did not instigate anything or act aggressively, but Biden supporters aggressively shouted and chased him away.
The Trump supporter (brown jacket) is escorted out of there by police, with the angry mob of Biden supporters following closely behind.
I crossed the street to get closer to the action. The main instigator is the guy with the megaphone. Here he instructs the crowd to block the street if more Trump supporters drive by. The kids have to hear a ton of profanity blasted through the megaphone.
A chant of “Whose street? Our street!” breaks out, followed by a Trump supporter driving by. Megaphone guy was upset that the Trump supporter was able to drive through and tells the crowd to raise their hands if they see another one.
Some more Trump supporters drive by and are flipped off and yelled at. I notice that one Biden supporter is openly carrying a gun. The mob targets a white SUV and gets in front of it. This is where things get heated.
The mob decides to block this car and forced them to turn around. The white car tries to go around them but is blocked in.
A couple people begin hitting the front of the car hard. One of them is detained (“security shirt). A white man lays his body on the hood of the car, daring the car to drive off. Things would have gotten much worse if the cops didn’t come over to break it up.
The police get the Biden supporters to move off the street. Megaphone guy tells the crowd that if he finds another Trump supporter he’s going to get their ass out of there. A lady yells “I’m ready to bust some windows!”
Just so it’s clear these are Biden supporters...
The mob identifies another Trump supporter, just a guy filming. “Ohhh we see a Trump supporter!” They cross the street (I follow) and harass and intimidate him. Cops and Secret Service tell the mob to get back.
The mob continues to harass the man. A lone voice of reason: “we don’t need to do all that.”
Some members of the mob are surprised that the Trump supporter is wearing a mask. Shows how little they know about the other side.
Secret Service gets the mob to back off. They are still shocked that a Trump supporter would wear a mask.
Biden supporters chant “Black Power” as well as the two chants they were doing earlier. Note that the man detained earlier was released (to the crowds delight).
Megaphone guy says that they are ready to “stand down and stand by” on election day. “We been doin that. We ready for ‘em.” Man with gun shouts “You don’t need no license for one of these!”
