K Street, Dc.
Party atmosphere on 16th st.
Just heard “ masks up, eyes down”
Interesting details. Most or all scooters cut off too close to the WH.
“Hands Up! Don’t Shoot! No Justice! No Peace! Fuck Trump!”
I have never been to a more festive protest.
“Fuck the Police” chant starts up.
this is as much an anti Trump rally as it is a BlM rally.
So it’s more festive than angry. But definitely WH is surrounded. https://mobile.twitter.com/lyndseyfifield/status/1299173396807405570
Still stores with plywood, property torched around 6/1 not replaced.
“All Cops Are Bastards” chant.
“Is he still going?!”
Just saw some Antifa-looking white dudes for the first time.
So about 40 of the crowd trickled out onto 15th street to fierce booing and taunting from the protestors.
There’s agitation at Vermont and H. A man is reportedly injured and the crowd is upset at the lack of an ambulance.
Needless to say, not so festive.
Going home. Hope the temperature doesn’t continue to rise.
