I don't know how many. But that goes to show they were so small and insignificant that we don't even hear about them.
For instance last night. Someone posted a tweet that the Austin protest was getting "violent." I turned on the news and a live feed downtown and nothing at all was happening
Oh gee whiz - my question was a bit rhetorical.
For the blissfully unaware who might follow Auntie Maxine's notion to "not believe your lyin' eyes," or for those who are buying the bromide that this is limited to a couple of tiny Google Maps specks in southern California:
I have done hours of exhaustive research using that other Google thing, and lo and behold it is our good friends at NBC who can help shed some light on this conundrum (dateline today).
Anti-ICE protests held coast to coast after L.A. unrest as national movement growsQuote:
NBC News counted at least 25 rallies and demonstrations coast to coast.

Quote:
The Daily Texan reported that some 500 gathered at the Texas Capitol on Monday, while hundreds gathered in San Antonio, according to Spectrum News 1.
Abbott, referring to the deployment of National Guard troops to L.A., said on X that "an organized assault has been waged against federal law enforcement officials."
Rallies and demonstrations also took place in Charlotte, Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, Chicago, Detroit and Oklahoma City.
So basically from sea to shining sea.
I think only the willfully ignorant believe that this is limited to a little hamlet on the West Coast.
Governor Abbot is right - this is an organized and orchestrated assault.
Can't wait to see the light of truth shine on the organizations that are funding these little gatherings of "a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn." (thank you ABC in L.A.)
So what do we do?
Ignore the lawlessness like we did during the Summer of Love?
As with most illegal actions, until there is a negative consequence, it will grow and spread.
These protests are like mold - they will indeed to grow and spread beyond the numerous locations that are already falling prey.
The people overwhelmingly elected President Trump to clean this up.
