Anti-Trump protesters meet Marines in Ybor City

According to the Marine Corps Times, a group of anti-Trump protesters bumped into some Marines who were celebrating the Marine Corps birthday with pub-crawl the other night in Ybor City, Florida.

“There were people with their signs yelling about fascism,” [witness Johnny] Gomes told Marine Corps Times on Friday. “There were some yelling profanity. There were some yelling ‘Black Lives Matter;’ ‘Trump is not our president.’ So there was a big mix.”

The Marines at the pub “didn’t really care for that” and started yelling back at the protesters, Gomes said.

“Nothing happened other than a lot of screaming and hollering and the Marines getting excited and hollering out ‘America,’” Gomes said.

Fox News reports that the police interceded;

Police formed a human barrier in the street as “both sides screamed obscenities and gave each other the middle finger,” WFTS-TV reports.

The groups went their separate ways without a physical confrontation.

  1. Too bad the po-po were there to “keep the peace”. That would have been a donnybrook for the ages. Would have sent all those “special snowflakes” scurrying to find a “safe space” somewhere, anywhere, away from there. And at 100 Marines vs 150 protesters, the Marines wouldn’t have broken a sweat.

  2. I want to commend every Marine present for their self discipline. Goading a bunch of pissed off Marines with half a tank of beer in them is neither wise nor healthy.

    1. Yeah, that’s right up there with walking into a bar frequented by members of a particular 1% MC and telling everyone there that a different 1% MC is tougher.

  3. Come Monday morning, all of those Marines will be required to attend training on respecting the rights of citizens to peacefully demonstrate their displeasure with the democratic process.

    1. Hogwash. Come Monday, all of those Marines will be commended for their grace, good manners and self-restraint.

            1. Nah. We upgraded to the etch-a-sketch around 2010 or so.

              Remember Marines, you have to shake it to reboot…

          1. You guys like to bust the balls of Marines because we don’t have money flowing to get the latest greatest technology like the Air Force does, but reliable sources have told me that after 15 years and $400,000,000 in research and development, the Marine Corps has awarded a contract to a proud woman owned company to supply them with FEIES (Field Expedient Individual Entertainment Systems). This government grant will keep Psaul’s financially viable for the next two weeks, barring any additional lawsuits. If you are interested in seeing what the FEIES looks like, please follow this link.

              1. Aces. It looks like he came up on the short end in that lawsuit that Confluence Corporation. It seems that someone has had their Bank of America account garnished. I wonder if that will negatively impact employee bonuses this holiday? We may have to a dine and dash at the office Christmas party, again. And last year he held it an The Sonic Burger. Cheap bastard purchased on medium drink, then kept sending us all back for a free refill.

                1. Awwwww… looks like his “black swan” event has passed him by… or is it his haplo gene group failed him again? Guess he didn’t learn anything from his Dear Old Daddy that was sued for screwing his fellow investors on that radio station in Longview, WA back in the early 60’s.

      1. Chesty would have glared at them from across the street and those dirty hippies would have immediately crapped their britches and then dropped and given him 20 is the piles on the ground.

      2. Looked at them and they would have dropped dead from fright. He was like that. Probably would have gotten a 6th Navy Cross for it.

    1. I think they should learn to do that for something like this. I get chills just watching the footballers do that.

      Well, I get chills watching the footballers, anyway, but that’s just me.

        1. Go to your room, Ex, …. just go to your room and THINK about what you just said. Then you *might* be able to have dinner tonight.

          Bad Gurl!

        2. Hey, Tight Pants night used to be Tuesday night.

          Battlestar Galactica, the A-Team, and maybe, just maybe something like Combat or CHiPs, or even Kit Carson or Rifleman or Tour of Duty. None of this wimpy, wifty, feelz-good crap, and no effing game shows – EVER!

          I want REAL TV back. Now I have to get movies, fer Pete’s sake!

  4. I bet the police were wishing the could step back and let nature take it course.

    I would put money on the Marines winning.

    1. Not a question of if, but how quickly.

      I’d say about 2 minutes, start to finish.

      1 minute if they put down their beers first.

    2. “I would put money on the Marines winning.” Ya think? That’s not gambling. Gambling requires at least a scintilla of doubt regarding an outcome.

  5. What a concept for an epic pay-per-view!

    On this special Veterans Day edition of “Hippie Beatdown”, the main event is US Marines Bar-Crawl versus Soros-Loser Poo-Fling! Vegas bookies are heavily favoring our Marines, and the only real betting action is “Will the Marines have sufficient muscle-stamina to beat down the whole Poo-Fling crowd, or will some Soros-Losers escape to the safe-zone?

  6. The restraint demonstrated by those Marines in spite of having a reasonable amount of celebratory alcohol on board is nothing short of heroic. God knows those sign-waving dipshits were begging to get their asses kicked.

    The whole thing reminds me a little bit of Rob Riggle demonstrating what retards Code Pink were/are when they were protesting Marine recruiters.

  7. Interviews with the snowflakes after the incident: “OMG, like I almost literally died. Those fascists soldiers called us fucktards. It was totes scary.”

    Meanwhile the jarheads culled the 2 or 3 semi-decent looking girls from the herd and gave them a night they’ll never forget. Except for Leone, he snagged a landwhale….

    Disclaimer-any similarities to any person, living or dead, is entirely coincidental (except we all remember your proclivity for hogging Joey)

    1. “Interviews with the snowflakes after the incident: “OMG, like I almost literally died. Those fascists soldiers called us fucktards. It was totes scary.”

      Muhahahaha!

      This is what happens when the snowflakes emerge from mommy and daddy’s basement.

  8. Sorry I have been gone for a while. I was busy basking in my regained White Male Privilege.

    Does anyone know if they set a date for Hispanics to report to their local Greyhound Bus terminal? I have neighbors that need to know.

    Oh, what is the proper protocol now if a black person gets on a bus full of hispanics? Do they still have to sit in the back?

    I am having trouble finding an application to join the Muslim Round Up Forces. Is this going to be a paid position or do we get awards for most caught like a Bass Tournament?

    How can I apply for Secret Service duty? The First Lady needs experienced people to help her through this transition. I have an eye for how she should present herself.

    Can I call a fag a fag now? When will homosexuality be officially banned? I am a little concerned about the definitions. I mean, if two women are together is not really gay when its properly supervised. I don’t want things to go to far.

    Can Marines get a barracks ho now, or is Morek still in charge of that kind of thing?

    1. Nothing in the bible about two women getting it on, especially if they’re hot. So, it is perfectly acceptable to me, especially if I’m there.

      1. Damn It…I hate it when someone beats me to the obvious.

        It will be funny when Trump meets Putin. I hope the official translator has their shit together.

        The 1stMILF will be correcting their ass.

    2. I’m still a bit confused about which bathroom I should use.

      Until I get the proper instruction, I’m going to go into the janitor’s closet and go in that nasty sink next to the mop bucket.

  9. I bet that more than a few of those LEO’s present were thinking “DAMN, I’d like to let these Marines go off on the hippies, but think of the overtime for street sweepers afterward!”

    1. And you do know that the first line of Marines would be the WMs, right? If there’s anything left, the guys would just sweep it up.

      1. Its ok, we can call them BAMs again. You are still my favorite WAVE.

        What is that I smell cooking?

  10. To build on Dave’s questions:
    Does this mean the fictitious Black family, comprised of a husband, wife, and 1.3 children will no longer be ubiquitous on TV commercials? Does this mean the end of stupid white guy being portrayed as the village idiot? Will Sonic cease with the two gay guys who have breakfast, lunch, and supper together but aren’t gay? Does this mean the end of the Prius? Or will they all double down?

      1. Oh man! Thanks! That Jeff Dunham bit is GREAT! But I think now we should go riot in the streets because he said those things.

    1. Hey now! I have to have breakfast, lunch, dinner AND breakfast again with another dude. It’s called working a 24-hour shift in emergency services. Though I admit it’s nicer when my shift partner is a woman.

    1. I prefer trilingualism, 2/17 – acronym style. As in “AMF”.

      That stands for, “Adios, meine Freunde.” (smile)

  11. Some years ago, I had a young not-too-bright male Golden Retriever. We would sometimes go for walks, and pass the house of a big-ass male Rottweiler kept behind a sturdy wrought-iron gate. And every time we went by, the Golden would get in the other dog’s face apparently knowing there was no way to get through the gate. If there had been, it’s a safe bet there would have been nothing left of the Golden but blood, guts, and feathers.

    Same thing going on Florida, just a different species.

  12. Come on guys, the snowflake hippies were the big winners here. They just don’t know it. regards, Alemaster

  13. Is it true Obama is nullifying the elections with this Exec Order 13805? If so, the hippy assholes might see some hope…

    I was and still am hoping it’s some bullshit myth but a lot of the news sources online seem to be carrying it.

  14. Nevermind. I was able to get some service and check on it with a little more prodding around the interwebs, it’s false.

    Whew.

    1. If it’s on the inner tubes, it has to be true. I read that on Al Gore’s Amazing Inner Tube.

      1. I’m not making any claims to that ridiculous Exec Order being true but…

        Never. Trust. Snopes.

      2. Yes, BUT it was NOT anywhere on the REAL ABC News website. It is bullshit, pure and simple.

        And how many times do I have to repeat that Obama despises Clinton? If he didn’t, why didn’t he do more to make sure she won?

        That story is pure unadulterated bullshit.

        1. A – It is published by a site called abcnews dot com dot co.

          That is NOT the website for the REAL ABC news.

          B – The site is loaded with malware.

          C – Why wasn’t it brought up on CNN, MSNBC, and other online news sites? It only appears on ONE phony site. It is BULLSHIT.

        1. I wasn’t attacking. And, as I said, not even attempting to defend that idiot Exec Order as true.

          All I said was can’t trust Snopes.

          You did the work to prove it’s bullshit. Good on you.

        2. Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound cranky, but I was getting bone-tired by the time I posted that last comment last night.

          The only reason I referred to Snopes at all is that they said it was a malware site. That’s a red flag right there.

          Trying to find any other info on the real ABC News website led nowhere. Politifact doesn’t have a reference to it yet, so I finally went to the actual dot gov site, which lists all EOs going back to the Clinton administration starting in 1994, which is where we should all look first, anyway. I don’t know how reliable Politifact is, either, but they do provide backup.

          I doubt we’ll see any more EOs coming out of bodaprez, because his permanent vacay is,like, coming up ASAP. I have said before that I will not be surprised if he just blows town the minute the electoral vote is confirmed by the legislature, and I believe that is in December.

          Be patient, do the due diligence and let your common sense take over. The noise and stoopid human tricks will be gone before long.

    1. That’ll make for a moment of hilarity when some dipshit hippie inevitably calls him a nazi.

  15. At least they found common ground in the gift of the middle finger to each other. That’s right the Bird. When you could care less to send the best message of your umbrage. Nothing says “FUCK YOU” like the internationally know gesture of “FOAD!”
