Participants in Paxton’s second ‘No Kings’ gathering and walk of 2025 — organized by former Ford County State’s Attorney Tony Lee, holding the ‘No Kings’ sign at right — head south in the 200 block of North Market Street downtown on Saturday, Oct. 18. An estimated 70 people took part in the peaceful protest. One was also held in nearby Gibson City that morning. Paxton’s Lee said in a letter to the editor published on Page A12 of this week’s edition: ‘We’ll do it again. Are you listening, Donald?’
