Patriot Prayer rally in SF and Anti-Marxist rally in Berkeley both cancelled

A right-wing group on Friday canceled a "freedom rally" it had planned for Saturday near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, removing one major source of feared violence for city leaders, though others remained.
The group, known as Patriot Prayer, instead planned a news conference at a park in the city on Saturday to explain what its leader Joey Gibson called the failure of police and elected officials to keep the group safe.
Gibson said the group planned to join another rally on Sunday in nearby Berkeley — an anti-Marxist gathering hosted by a transgender supporter of President Donald Trump.
The anti-Trump organization By Any Means Necessary, which has sometimes supported violent tactics, had vowed to shut down the Berkeley rally even before it gained new prominence with the cancellation of the Saturday event.
Gibson said the rhetoric of Mayor Ed Lee and other San Francisco leaders prompted the decision to replace the rally at Crissy Field with the news conference at Alamo Park.
Gibson has said the group disavows racism and hatred.

I guess all those people who made the long bus ride from Va aren't going to be happy about them cancelling the rally. Do those protesters still get paid?

The leader of the rally said they cancelled it because they felt the City of SF was cornering them because they wouldn't be able to defend themselves against counter demonstrators who would bring weapons and use violence to stop the rally.

Shame if it's true but they should have tried this in a more conservative or moderate city.

Proof that Pelosi hate blacks and other minorities.

Shame they gave into leftist bullies who are patting themselves on the backs now.

Not a bad strategy. Say you are going to rally against something the left does not like.
Make Soros pay the useless idiots to show up and protest, then cancel.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Pretty soon he will get tired of financing them.
I think Americans are starting to see the scam.

Now it is being reported that the Anti-Marxist rally in Berkeley on Sunday has also been cancelled.

Two right-wing rallies planned for the weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area were canceled Friday, with organizers citing threats from left-wing agitators, but local officials said they remained concerned about the potential for violence.
A Saturday "freedom rally" planned near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was canceled by the group Patriot Prayer, which said it would hold a news conference at a city park instead.
Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson said his followers would instead attend an anti-Marxist rally in nearby Berkeley on Sunday, but a short time later the organizer of that rally called it off.
"I am asking that no one come to my event," Andrea Cummings said in a lengthy statement issued via Facebook. She said she had "grave concerns for the safety of the people attending my event."
Cumming said her rally was "to speak out against the political violence happening to people who do not agree" with left-wing ideology, and that the meaning was being lost as rhetoric around the rally escalated. However, she said she "alone" would still show up Sunday.
Mistrust remained high on both sides.
San Francisco Supervisor Mark Farrell said he believed Patriot Prayer members were still likely to rally at Crissy Field despite the official cancellation.
"This is all hands on deck for the city of San Francisco no matter what happens tomorrow," Farrell said.
He urged left-wing counter-protesters not to show up there, encouraging them to instead to attend a city-organized anti-hate gathering at the Civic Center.
"People in San Francisco are looking for an outlet," Farrell said. "They have been looking for a place to go. What we've tried to do is hold an event away from everything, as much possible."
Tension over the gatherings had built in the two weeks since violence erupted at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. James Alex Fields Jr., 20, was charged with murder after driving a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a 32-year-old woman.
Gibson and Cummings insisted their gatherings would be peaceful but critics alleged they would be magnets for racists and others who would seek violence.
A number of counter protests were planned. The left-wing group By Any Means Necessary, which has been involved in violent confrontations, vowed to shut down the Berkeley rally.

Were you upset when there were counter protesters at Westboro Baptist Church rallies protesting a serviceman's funeral yelling out "GOD HATE figs"? Were you concerned about the WBC's civil rights being bullied and infringed when they were being shouted down?

Agree. This is an unmitigated defeat for the forces of the roght.

I guess you bought the "Nazi Rally" lie hook line and sinker.
Hint: when the organizer of a rally publicly yells "frick Nazis, frick White Supremacy, frick the KKK." He's probably not organizing a Nazi rally. Btw he identifies as a Japanese-American.
Inform yourself. Don't rely on the media to do your homework for you.

in order to add proper context to these stories we need to replace "right wing"
with "American wing"
with "American wing"

How so? Look, these are not the guys we want on our side. Yeah, we don't have to like Antifa and BLM, but that doesn't make these the good guys. It's perfectly ok, to think that both sides are pieces of shite.

The organizer of the Anti-Marxist rally who cancelled the rally is a transgender woman.
