About 1,600 people gathered at the intersection of Camelback and Scottsdale roads June 14 to protest Trump administration policies. Here’s what some readers had to say on NextDoor:
“If we had a king they would not be able to protest whether it is for 2 or 100 ppl. We have a president.” — Jacqueline Nelson
“Wonderful! Peaceful people exercising their constitutional right to protest. Might have been a few bad actors, but for the most part....not.” — Gina B.
“One question. Why were none of Trump’s rallies covered this passionately by our corrupt “media?” — Dave Ware
“Millions don’t care.” — Randy F.
“Protest is the most American thing there is. Way to go, Scottsdale!” — Neil Bourque
“Pointless and useless waste of time and resources. Stay home - get a job - volunteer - be productive.” — Joanz P
“The same people would be outraged if the right acted like this if the Harris had won.” — Michael Duran
“We protested our king in the 1700s, and defeated him. How soon history is forgotten.” — Alice Hamrick
“I would say, get your money together and buy a bus ticket to California where you belong.” — Don & Vicky M.
“I really don’t know what the protesters wish to accomplish with this. Obviously, Trump doesn’t care and he can’t run again after this term is over, so he doesn’t care about your vote. He isn’t going to change what he is doing; it isn’t in his nature even if he might be going in the wrong direction. It is only getting people more and more agitated with each other, which isn’t helping our country at all.” — Tula L.
“It was amazing. Largest protest in American history. Over 5 million countrywide. Your 1st Amendment at work. We are protecting our Constitution.” — Andrea H.
“If it makes you feel better, go ahead and protest. It’s likely that many find Trump’s personal behavior, lack of diplomacy and pettiness as unpresidential and gross. The problem is his policies in general are far better for the country than what we would have had if he had lost the election. Pick your poison.” — Sonia E.
“Snatching people off the streets in unmarked vehicles oftentimes without a removal order or a warrant isn’t exactly American. Trump did this to himself.” — Chey Tor
