Real Estate Editor & Manager Confused demonstrators in Alaska mistakenly planned their Refused to be Silenced rally to take place at the Dimond Center Mall in Anchorage rather than in the state capitol of Juneau.
Alaskan extremist groups intent on carrying protests over 2020 election results to the Dimond Courthouse in Juneau, Alaska, came close to taking it to the Dimond Center Mall in Anchorage instead.
Websites of far-right groups Tree of Liberty and Boogaloo Boys were 570 miles off course when they posted the address of the mall for their “Refuse to be Silenced” rally and not the courthouse, according to a report in The Alaska Landmine.
Mall Closes After Pro-Trump Extremist Group Confuses It With Courthouse Targeted for Protest

Extremist right-wing groups in support of President Donald Trump mistakenly called for an armed rally at an Alaska shopping center and not at the similarly named courthouse by the state Capitol building nearly 900 miles away.
The far-right Tree of Liberty and Boogaloo Boys websites scheduled protests for the upcoming weekend to challenge President-elect Joe Biden s election victory over Trump, similar to the ultimately violent U.S. Capitol riots last Wednesday. But organizers confused the Dimond Center Mall in Anchorage with the Dimond Courthouse in Juneau, the state s capital. The Refuse to be Silenced rally plans in support of Trump on January 17 prompted the mall to announce it will be shut down on that same day.
