Hundreds participated in the No Kings Rally at Palm Coast Parkway east of Old Kings Road. They waved signs and American flags as car zoomed by, some honking their horns in approval.
The rally was one of three in Flagler County on Saturday, Oct. 18. According to a nokings.org press release, nearly 7 million people attended more than 2,700 rallies in all 50 states protesting the direction of the country under the Trump administration.
Across Palm Coast Parkway, at a much smaller counter-protest, people also waved American flags as well as Trump 2024 election banners.
The first Flagler County No Kings Rally of the day was held at A1A and State Road 100 in Flagler Beach at 10 a.m. Before the 11 a.m. scheduled start of the Palm Coast Parkway rally, a large crowd had already gathered on the median and on both the north and south sidewalks. At the same time, another rally was held near the Target store on S.R. 100.
Cindy Fox, one of the organizers, said about 1,000 people, three rows deep, participated in the rally along SR 100 in front of the Target parking lot with an estimate of about 500 at Palm Coast Parkway and 150-200 in Flagler Beach. Fox said there were a few heated exchanges.
"There were a few nailbiters. You have people on both sides who are opinionated," she said.
Young and old participated in the Palm Coast Parkway rally. A teenager held up a sign that read, "If Trump gets to be King George III, then I'm going to be Hamilton." Jean Yearick, who will be 90 next month, held up an American flag in her right hand and a "No King" sign in her left. She said she was participating because, "The world depends on us."
Jean Stover said she is a grandmother who wants a better country for her grandchildren. Her husband served in the Navy. William Beaman, a Vietnam veteran, held up a double sign that read, "We The People Serve No King."
Raul Jimenez served in the Air Force for 25 years. He said he also participated in the No Kings rally in June, but this one was much larger. "I just feel like we're headed in the wrong direction with this administration. He's trying to control everything," Jimenez said of the president. "We need to get back in the middle."
Fatima DaSilva wore a cape that said, "Only Queens," with the No Kings logo of an X drawn over a crown.
Chris, who attended with his sister, his niece and friends, said, "This is what democracy looks like. It's not about left or right. I think we're having increasing tyranny in this country, and I'm standing up against it."
Some other signs read, "Hate doesn't make America great," "When cruelty is normal, compassion looks radical," and "Make Orwell fiction again."
Some protesters dressed in costumes. A man dressed in a dinosaur suit held up a sign that read, "Don't let democracy go extinct," and later exchanged it for another that read, "Leave fossils in the museums, not in the White House."
Jeff Mullinax parked in the Island Walk Shopping Plaza next to the Palm Coast Parkway rally. He had several signs on a pole that was fitted with wheels. He put on a Bigfoot outfit over his clothes and walked to the rally.
