Secretive anti-Trump protests to erupt Super Bowl weekend

This reads like a comedy.

HOUSTON — They gathered after nightfall at an undisclosed location downtown.

It was so secretive Tuesday night, not all of the group representatives got the full game plan, said Blake Stroud, who created a group called #ResistHouston to connect the protesters and provided USA TODAY Sports with an account of the meeting.

“I guess they’re going for the element of surprise,’’ he said.

Groups and community members involved thus far include members of the following groups: Black Lives Matter, socialists, abolitionists, communists, native Americans, Muslims, Jews, Hispanics, LGBT community members and the local Democratic party. Also planning to be on the scene: Opponents of circumcision. For real.

“We are seeing the petty differences between our groups matter less than what we agree on,’’ said Amy Zachmeyer, lead organizer for the Houston chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.

She heard the talk about law enforcement harassment that night, but she’d already called the police to discuss her scheduled rally.

“They just wanted to emphasize maybe to stick with poster boards and not (posters with) sticks,’’ Villela said. “I’m not sure what was the reason behind that request.’’ Well then you are an idiot.
