Protesters gather in front of Vancouver city attorneys’ homes – The Columbian

Joey Gibson, Patriot Prayers founder, said the rally was organized by various groups, including Peoples Rights Washington, which bills itself as an organization that stands up for people whose constitutional rights have been violated but has been called an alt-right extremist group in some news reports. The group did not respond to a request for comment.

City attorneys are currently working from home due to the pandemic, so McClures home seemed like the most logical location to hold the rally, Gibson said. The group wanted to inspire McClure to do the right thing and drop the charge, he said.

We were asking him to be with us in this fight. It wasnt to scare him, or threaten him, Gibson said. Whats going on is a power grab. Weve never seen anything like this, and if we dont come together and fight for working people, (Carroll) will be the first of many to face charges.

We all need to make money. Were all essential, Gibson said.

Videos on social media show 100 or so people gathered on the street outside the prosecutors suburban home. Families, including children, can be seen with signs reading Kelly is not a criminal, Re-open and Inslee for Jail.

They filled the residential street, sang songs, chanted drop the charges and demanded McClure exit his home and address them.
