My son made the local Newspaper

His sentiments were shared by self-identified ANTIFA member Tyler Charles Gardiner, 29, of Captain Cook, who wore all-black and a face covering and opted to attend the Hilo protest instead of the Kona one because the latter would’ve been “too hot.”

“We fought Nazis back when they took over Germany,” Gardiner said, “and we’ll fight them here, too.”

He said that a sense of empowerment, and a commitment to peaceful protest, motivated him to attend the rally.

“I want to oppose Trump in the most peaceful way possible and tell him that we are sick of him and there’s more of us than him, and he just needs to go,” he said. “It feels empowering, and it makes me feel like we are gonna make a difference finally. People are starting to wake up, they’re starting to realize he has lied to us, everything that he has said is not true and just a cover-up for his own terroristic crimes.”

5. That's awesome, he's so right

There is a sense that we cannot go on if we don't join the growing numbers and peacefully protest the current administration.

Our small town in eastern North Carolina held their first "No Kings" sanctioned walk for democracy. We got many supportive

responses from people passing by in cars and on foot. It felt empowering and very positive. The next one will be bigger and

more inspirational
