yep, you are correct. I know they were coming down the airport road. Maybe coming from Baker area?

Obviously the Black Panthers chartered a 747-200, paid to have the runway lengthened, and flew in over the last 48 hours in order to gather at the Triple S for 10 am

See previous posts. From where did they all fly in this morning? BTR isn't exactly hopping at 8am.


This, no records of any flight plans coming in earlier than 7:45am of this morning.

This isn't to say that may have come from a staging area around the area.

Yes, because BLM can afford to fly in bus loads of protesters and pay for all these private bus charters. Nice try

Not sure, but these protesters are organized. Flew by charter? Are there not any commercial flights landing at 7am at BTR?

i hope i'm wrong but the timing just seemed to be there to where they may have been picking people up from the airport, maybe not all of them onboard the buses.



Right. I'm helping you out here. 5 chartered busses in a convoy heading south on 110 is VERY unusual. I've driven that stretch for a decade.
People are misunderstood thinking everyone just flew into BTR today. Likely staged nearby. Just 2 miles east on Hooper is Louisiana Leadership Institute. That would make alot of sense for a inconspicuous place to stage folks over a couple days and using local hotels on Vets and Harding and their personal cars/suvs until it was time to move into town.

Just supporting your theory. You're probably just stupid and wrong. But not a liar.

If you don't think 200-300 people could have trickled into town in personal vehicles and a few flown in over last 3 days and staging up in those NBR hotels while waiting on Soros paid for busses to take them into town on a short notice, you're wrong.

The huge misconception is 'leaving the aiport' versus 'airport area'.

It would show up on a recorded flight plan.

No, most flights from smaller airports in the mornings are outbound departures to HUBS.
