I attended the downtown Scottsdale NO KINGS event. (Camelback & Scottsdale RD, for those familiar with the area).
There were at least 4 times the people than at the June NO KINGS. (But, June, in AZ, I certainly understand!)
Overall, it was a tremendous success!!
NO ARRESTS IN THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA!!

(1,930 posts)2. We were at an East Valley one, same place we went to one that was before the June No Kings, think it was Mar or April?
We'd estimate 10/18 was about 3 times the size of that earlier one! So many excellent signs, and so many cars driving by honking and giving thumbs up and peace signs. Myself, I only saw maybe 4 cars drive by with thumbs-down/middle finger, over the hour 1 plus we stood on the sidewalk with our signs. Some idiot tried to roll coal and failed miserably, only got tires loose for about one second. My guess is that the dude probably fails similarly in many other scenarios
My experience was similar to yours!
Many more positive honks and waves than negative.
We had maybe about 10 yell "Trump" or "Losers".
One guy was waving a Bible. Probably Trump Edition.
