I was just getting something to eat at McDonald’s when I read about this cancellation of our NARSOL convention. I’ve been on the registry for 24 years and I have very seldom been at a loss for words, but I don’t know what to say. I feel so stripped of my rights. I feel caught in a time-warp like it’s the Jim Crow era.

Besides not being able to afford to go to the conference and the backflips you have to do at the sheriff’s office to get to travel, to me, even though I am not afraid, the incident that happened, is exactly why I do not go to any of these events.
There are a few meet and greets (Or there were) in my area where registrants get together and I have been invited many times. I do not even like going to the registry office (That is extremely crowded) because I try and not stand out in a crowd as a registrant.
I thought in the back on my mind that is was weird that nothing like this had not happened before. The more publicity we get, the more wackos are going to come out of the wood work.
Maybe none of my business but did the conference at least get a refund? Or did they lose all the funds raised for that event?

if it is legitimate then it is nice to document it and run it up the court flag poles.. more evidence based facts that the registry is punitive and only serves as a vigilante weapon not a legitimate law enforcement tool

Odd that there is no mention of such a harassment campaign found anywhere in other media. Did the DoubleTree call the police when the Proud Boys illegally “flooded the DoubleTree Grand Rapids and Hilton’s corporate headquarters with threats and intimidation?” That is a crime to do that. Why do I get the feeling that DoubleTree got wind of the details of the coming event and simply cancelled it using the Proud Boys (a common presence in the Grand Rapids area) as an excuse? We’ve been shunned by hotels before, that’s not so unusual. That the Proud Boys stormed Hilton headquarters to force them to cancel an event without any media attention is.
