Yesterday evening Muslim community and interfaith organizations held a KC Rally for Muslims, Immigrants, & Refugees by the J.C. Nichols Fountain at Mill Creek Park near the entrance to the Plaza in Kansas City. About 150 individuals showed up to demonstrate and to hear speakers including a poet, imams and a rabbi. All spoke of peace, love and justice.
There was a proactive Kansas City Police presence.
“Why should love stop at the borders?” – June 29, 2018
“No Muslim ban” – June 29, 2018
“I really do care. Do you” – June 29, 2018
“Friends and neighbors” – June 29, 2018
“No ban, no wall” – June 29, 2018
“Only love can drive hate out” – June 29, 2018
Poet.
About an hour into the rally a group of right wingnut anti-Muslim counter-protestors showed up. Wearing t-shirts emblazoned with “no immigrants, no Muslims, no refugees.”
The individual on the right is so badass they deserve another photo posting in our blog.
The badass on the right.
It was difficult to get decent images of this group, the good guys kept blocking the direct view with their signs.
Editorial comment.
His editor would cut the first line and the fourth line, then call it truth in advertising.
Diversity fail.
Celebrating diversity – June 29, 2018
It’s quite simple, really, if you single out a religious minority you’re a bigot. That’s it.

Yesterday afternoon over 1,000 people gathered at Mill Creek Park in Kansas City for the Cosecha KC Rally to Protect Families to protest the treatment of asylum seeking immigrants and children by the Trump administration.
Kansas City Mayor Sly James spoke at the rally.
Kansas City Mayor Sly James – June 24, 2018
Mayor Sly James: [….] Good afternoon. [applause] Thank you all for being here to show the rest of the country, and everybody wants to listen and know, that this is how the American people feel . We do not support what’s going on in DC. [cheers, applause] The young lady mentioned that she had a couple of relatives in the Marine Corps. I was in the Marine Corps. None of us put on our uniform in order to see people stopped at our borders and caged and separated from their families. [cheers, applause] That wasn’t what we were ready to fight for. We were fighting for liberty, justice for all. For all. There were no limitations put on the all. It didn’t say all the people who are here. It didn’t say all the people who wanted to be here. It said all. And that has been lost in DC.
This is nothing but politics. We have to stand and fight this because if we don’t at the end of the day it’s not about them, it’s about us. We define what our country is about. [cheers, applause] We are the ones who say what’s right and wrong. We’re the ones who unite families. We’re the ones that care. We’re the ones that live here. These are our neighbors. These are our friends. This is our city. It’s not theirs.
This is not a game. These are children that are being separated from their families. It is traumatizing. It is inhuman. It is immoral. It is wrong. We must stop it. Now. [cheers, applause] [….]

Free the children – June 24, 2018
In the aftermath of World War II:
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
advisory declaration adopted by
the United Nations General Assembly (December 10, 1948)
[….]
Article 6
Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.
[….]
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
– Treaty in force September 8, 1992
[….]
Article 16. Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.
[….]
There is also the small matter of the U.S. Constitution.
Donald Trump (r) has a different view:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents…
