"Protest" in IL

Protest at DSA in IL:

The much-vaunted, press-ballyhooed "protest," at DSA in Lake Barrington, IL, last Tuesday, organized by the Jackson crowd, and personally attended by Jesse himself, was a complete flop! Fewer than one hundred protestors showed up, after "thousands" had been confidently predicted.

Scraggly, bussed-in, "protestors" were all dirty, tired, bored, and blatantly disinterested. Few stuck around long. The "event"wasn't even carried on national news. It barely even made the local news! Jackson's rambling, mumbling speech was disorganized and confused. Several times, he lost his train of thought, finding it difficult to so much as put together a single, coherent, English sentence. He was greeted mostly by yawns and apathetic looks.

So embarrassing was this washout of a protest, it has apparently already become part of Jackson's repressed memories, as the whole event is conspicuously absent from his Web Page.

The blazing failure of this protest was due to the pervasive non-credibility of the Jackson Organization itself (which is old news) and indeed the non-credibility of the entire "gun-control" issue. Americans have waxed weary of all the stale, predictable, intelligence-insulting, endlessly recycled lies about guns and gun-ownership, which have shown themselves to be absolutely false time and time again.

More than anything else, Americans want the ability to control their own lives, which includes the ability to effectively, and unilaterally, fight off violent criminals. It's in our blood, and, to us, all that soothing, leftist rhetoric will continue to sound hollow, tinny, and fundamentally unpersuasive, no matter from whose lips it issues!
