Protests in Athens GA nothing but PEACEFUL all day. Group remained under the UGA arches in a continuing stationary, peaceful, protest after main event finished.

Tell me why State Troopers? and the National Guard were brought in to use dispersive fire and gas on them unprovoked??
Curfew not announced seemingly *after* it 'took effect'. Seems like a weak excuse for the militarised forced to be able to able to use their toys unprovoked on a small and peaceful group exercising their rights.
Y'all want to talk about 'outside agitators' well maybe the place to look is no further than the National Guard coming in to unleash gas and bullets when the local PD rightly allowed protests to happen and continue without incident? Folk were even picking up their trash!
Athens sees havoc four orders of magnitude more than this on gamedays from white football fans throughout the whole football season but a handful of black folk and allies peacefully assembled in one spot means the system comes down on them to unleash all the evils of hell.
And bitches wonder why these brave souls are protesting.
