Lack of trouble at the women's march

I was one of the foreigners who posted here voicing safety concerns about the March, given my previous experience in other countries.

I went, and was DELIGHTED to be completely wrong!

However, my cell phone didn't work at all, and neither did my friends', so you must have had a magic phone

Yeah no one in my group had service, but friends standing in other areas did.

I always tell trump followers to f*ck off. I know for some reason people on here have a huge problem with swearing, but honestly I don't. I'm petite and a woman so all of them looked totally shocked and move on. If they attacked me, I'd go down immediately. But I think specifically because I look like maybe a librarian, it's shocking to hear me call them pieces of sh*t.

I don't see why it's okay for trump to say racist stuff specifically about my ethnicity and gender, but it's not okay to tell them to go f*ck themselves.

I'm totally okay taking a punch if it comes down to it.

I think the scared or worried people fell into a few camps.
- Conservatives trying to dissuade people from going to keep numbers down
- People who generally live a life of fear, don't go into the city, and don't like to venture out and try new things.
- People who aren't as supportive of issues as they say they or pretend they are.

I know some people didn't go because of work conflicts, or because of issues with crowds - and I get that. But I'm specifically talking about those who expressed unwarranted concerns and worries.

Minwas one of those and given that Trump supporters would be in town I did not think it was unwarranted concern. I did not fall into any of your 3 arbitrary groups. I simply was concerned fights could break out and the crowds would make it difficult to get away from anything bad that happened. I do admit I was wrong and it was a great day. A fight did break out on my train though.

Eh, there probably would have bden a fight on the metro ag so.e point this past weekend even if the inauguration & march had not taken place. I live in San Francisco now but when I was in DC, I witnessing fights while in crowded metro trains wasn't all that unusual, especiau. Most just involved the parties shouting obscenities & threats at each other & maybe some pushing, but I did see 2 fights where punches were thrown & the police came. I've only lived in SF for about 7 months & have already witnessed one such fight on a BART platform (& a couple of shouting matches she on trains). It's just part of taking public transportation, particularly when you take it in places & at times where there are going to be a lot of people taking it with you.

No trouble because conservatives don't break thinks and riot. Would have been nice if you cleanes up your mess. We don't need a million vagina hays littering the streets.
