Traffic was heavy going eastbound on Route 14 from Virginia Street Road on.
There was a pickup truck heading west with flags typically displayed by conservatives.
The demonstration started just past Herlsberg Diamonds and stretched to the Nissan dealership past Sam’s Club.
“I need my ICE changed” one sign reads.
Traffic was slow or stopped as I caught these shots.
Note the “Traitor Trump” sign.
The signs were pointed at westbound traffic and cars kept getting in the way of seeing the signs.
The only signs I can read say, “No kings in the USA.”
With the vehicle having moved on, one can see the signs people are carrying which were previously blocked.
These citizens were standing in front of the Japanese restaurant
Below one can see what the cars above were blocking.
Stopped by a red light at the entrance of Sam’s Club, I was able to shot back toward the signs.
I see a sign left over from the first No Kings demonstration: “Support our Vets – Dump Trump and Musk.”
Heading toward Walker’s Pancake House, one can see some more signs.
More demonstrators were bunched up closer to the entrance to Sam’s Club.
I got a clean shot, but was too far away to read any of the signs.
Enlarging my photo brings us some sign content.
“Prison without due process = concentration camp” reads one.
One man was waving an upside down American Flag.
“Save our rights, Reject Trump” is part of what one sign reads.
Past the traffic signal, people were standing in front of M’Lady Nisan.
Here are some closeups:
“Thank you for your attention to this matter,” one says.
“First for Constitution. No Kings” one sign repeats three times.
A religious sign: “Love thy neighbor.”
A Friend of McHenry County Blog took photos driving east on Route 14.
“OMG GOP WTF” says one prominent sign.
“No Kings, No Fascists, No Cruelty” may be the strongest statement in this group.
The “RESIST” sign held up by a mask-wearing person can be seen above the car.
“Democracy Needs Courage” one of the signs easiest to see reads.
Nice play on words on the sign reading, “DUMP tRUMP.”
In this photo one can see some mass produced signs saying, “No Kings,” but most are homemade, including one held by a man reading, “ICE ARE NAZIS.”
A couple of references to Fascism here, plus one reading, “Abolish ICE Trump’s Brownshirts.”
Another view and “Troops Off Our Streets, Stop Project 2025,” a professionally made sign.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty,” the sign out front says.
“No kings, no ICE, no dictators” looks like a professionally prepared sign.
I see another professionally produced sign: “Loyality to the Constitution Not the President.”
There’s a “Keep Abortion Legal” sign behind the “Healthcare is a Right, Pass Subsidies.”
One woman calls for Trump’s death: No Freedom without Due Process 8647.” That got Comey in trouble when he posted what he said he found on the beach.
“Grandma against Trump” sign finally gets captured.
At the entrance to Sam’s Club.
“Only We Can Fix This” sign caught my attention, as did the woman with the “Voter” tee shirt.
“Hands off our democracy” is the sign that stands out in this photograph.
The woman holding it did not make it, but “Trump is a False Prophet” stands out.
In the upper righthand corner is a sign that says, “Remember, 1776 was a No Kings Protest.”
“Not woke. Just Awake. Wake the hell up America!” caught my eye.
Can’t read the whole sign, but the “No King But Christ” with a cross was eye catching.
“Haven’t we had enough?” asks one woman’s sign.
“Morons are governing America” one man’s sign says.
“ICE are Nazis” one homemade sign asserts.
In the back is a sign with the Statue of Liberty. The wording starts, “America, you are in danger.”
Looks as if the Friend of the Blog got out of the car for this shot:
The new sign here reads, “Bring back USAID. America speak up, show up and stand up.” The woman, ironically, sitting.
The Trump balloon guy or gal arrives.
The biggest “kill Trump” “8647” sign was in front of the entrance to Target.
A couple of good signs here: “The empower has no clothes” and “Now is the time to use your outside voice.”
Finally, I think I can report on the message of the sign in the upper lefthand corner: Stop the hate. Chinga tu Pedo. Bullies aren’t Leaders.”
I can read two signs: “We are the Patriots” and “History has its eyes on you.”
“Love America, Protect Free Speech,” an elder urges in her sign.
Looks as if people are leaving.
“Thirteen colonies of illegan immigrants overthrew a king” a sign says.
“Peace” and “Freese ICE” signs stand out.
“Shut down “Project 2025. Stop the Hate,” this man urges.
One man’s sign says, “Congress Fight for All Americans and the Oath You Took to Defend the Constitution.”
A woman’s sign says, “Make America Kind Again.”
The “Know Your Parasite” sign caught my attention. Also interesting is “Everyone deserves a chance to fly.”
A blowup bee says, “There shall be no kings in America.”
“It’s only good to be king if you’re Tom Petty” one sign says.
The best photo of the bee.
