For those wondering how this went-
The Hoosier Hospitality March was amazing. People CAME. OUT. WELL over 1,000 marchers! Folks were organizing carpools from over an hour away. We were prepared for inclement weather, but the rain held off until after the march, which was awesome. Amazing vibes all around!
2. Okay, so what about the Mass Deportation Rally? You know, the whole reason the march was organized?
Well, they sure as hell didn't end up holding their hate-rally in Fishers, that's for damn sure. ALLEGEDLY they couldn't find a venue here that would take them.
Near the end of the march, there was a "leaked" email that the rally was going to be held in Greenfield. Less than 30 minutes afterward, there were already rumors going around that this was a deliberate leak to throw people off. Turns out that it was, in fact, a fake leak and the actual anti-immigration rally was in Clinton County (northwest of Fishers.)
3. Whether in Greenfield or Clinton County, there are plenty of wide open fields on private property throughout rural Indiana. And honestly, it doesn't really matter where it was held, because massive thunderstorms and a tornado warning rolled through central IN anyway. So while the location itself was initially undetermined, photos of the event went out almost immediately.
And these, my friends, are very real.
These pics were EVERYWHERE the day of and day after the event and now I'm struggling to find them. I had to dig up screenshots from text chains with friends and fam. Some photos have DEFINITELY been scrubbed and lots of videos posted by 'proud patriots' have since been removed (including the livestream of the event meant to show off the meeting.)
I cannot stress this enough- folks paid $50 per head for a rented pole tent, folding chairs, and dressing in church clothes to walk through sopping wet mud-fields while a fart-sniffing lawn gnome screamed slurs at them.
My spouse said "hmm...it's giving Dashcon." So we have dubbed Bovino's Splash-Time Hatestravaganza as...
Anyway, a quick and dirty update for you. There's articles floating around on the events so definitely check those out!
Thank y'all for the signal boost. And for those who donated to my Ko-Fi, we were able to get tons of waters, gatorades, and snacks for the marchers and their kiddos. We all really appreciate it!
