UPDATE: it turns out MAGA agitator Kaitlyn Bennet is a PAID agitator, makes all her money on clickbait Youtube videos.
On the 1st of May, multiple groups in Polk County, FL came together in Lakeland for the “Mayday Strong” pro-labor and anti-Trump protest. A surprisingly strong crowd turned out.
Unfortunately, serial MAGA agitator Kaitlyn Bennett also showed up, using tactics similar to those of Jack Posobiec. She attempted to pose as a protester, but had signs that revealed her intent: to discredit anti-Trump protesters. One sign said “legalize MS-13,” another claimed that being trans is a choice like choosing a snack. She baited and harassed protesters almost constantly.
At some point she put down her signs, probably to set a deliberate trap. Signs abandoned on public property are by law considered abandoned property but this law was ignored: Kaitlyn whined to the cops about the signs as soon as someone picked them up, triggering an arrest that took place so fast as to suggest prearrangement.
The person taken hostage by the police is out of jail, but this incident ratchets up tension with the big 50501 protests on Sat, May 3 still to come
Below is a photo of Kaitlyn Bennet with her “Legalize MS-13” sign:
