Drove past another 200 or so people waving Palestinian flags again Yesterday.  These protests here seem to have settled down into a predictable standing on the street corner waving flags and signs.  No more shutting down roads, Jihad flags, or young men doing laps in pickups.

Sort of a tangent, but maybe some things are simmering down because they're not getting the "public support" they thought they would, similar to the tranny movement of the last couple of years.

People put up with or even supported the latter up until they started involving children and demanding people take a knee. Once they got out of hand with their demands, they lost the "moderates". The same with these guys. As more and more calls come out to kill the Jews, the typical suburban liberal that needs a cause is becoming uncomfortable.

Unfortunately that can have the effect of making the more radical members to want to up the game a bit. For the trannies going so far is out of the norm for them, for the Hamas supporters, and other such groups, among the protesters it would be just another day that in ends in Y. Hope not.

This crap continues much longer and I think I'm going to stick a .38 in the dog box of my car.

If I was in an area were this stuff is occurring I would be looking at something a bit more potent and with a higher capacity than a 38.

I doubt it.  The folks standing on the streets of Tampa in hijabs, bhurkas, and throbes are not super concerned about public support.  I think the protests have settled into a more "steady state" here because 1.TPD and HCSO ain't going to put up with very much crap, 2. the optics of a riot don't play as well in the south as they do in some other places, and 3. The real radicals are waiting on the tanks to roll into Gaza before they fire up the energetic protests.

Yeah, I should have differentiated the protestors from the public supporting them. My statement is probably more related to the cheerleaders who support a group rather than the group themselves. Just like moderate people, even gays, speaking out about trans pedophilia, that's more about the people supporting the group becoming uncomfortable with the radicalization of the group.

The radical trannys seem to be doubling down as people question them, and likely all the "from the river to the sea" people will also become even more radical even as their cheerleaders learn exactly what that phrase means and become uncomfortable with what they're supporting, which upsets the groups they support. The trans have their "trans day of vengeance", which we laugh at. Radical Islamists having a "Hamas day of vengeance" is something to take more seriously.

I think - or at least I hope - that the anti-Israel protests have peaked. I notice that they haven't been joined by the dedicated anti-Semites (shall I Godwin this thread? Nah . . .) who have even less regard for the people in hijabs, burkhas, throbes, and keffiyehs than they do for Jews.

When you're dealing with people who believe that they will wake up in heaven surrounded by 72 virgins after getting on a fully loaded school bus while wearing a bomb vest and carrying a gasoline can expect trouble. I mean we weren't expecting 9-11 were we? Now how many of those willing to go this far are in the US right now who knows?

I'm keeping an eye on the local group's Social Media as the fighting escalates.

And adjusting my truck bag.

Luckily none of that is happening here. 

70 miles south?  It probably is.

We had some protesters a few days ago downtown and they blocked one of the river bridges but after yelling and holding signs they went home. Haven't seen anything since other than small groups on some street corners holding signs.

According to this guy there is no photo or video evidence of 10-7 happening and no one knows of any Israelis that had died, "besides other Israelis"

Hamas is now saying 10,000 have died and of course that number is being parroted by many in the MSM. Well it's coming from a reliable source right?

I'm not saying Hamas' numbers are legit, but having seen pictures and video from Gaza it also it isn't hard to imagine a lot of people have been killed.  Blowing up a crowded city tends to do that.

Of course, Hamas hides behinds human shields for a reason.  They certainly don't mind a few dead Palestinians.

I’m going to guess that Janicki has a rule against guns on the property, but likely doesn’t enforce it unless the person is a legit problem.  Northrop almost certainly has a prohibition.

Hamas would know, they shot most of them.
