Imagine attending a vigil for someone to have it be disrespectfully crashed by right wingers excited to show off their racism & hate. Tonight, that’s the unfortunate reality for Kevin Peterson Jr.’s family and friends as they try to mourn his death at tonight’s vigil in Vancouver

There are many heavily armed citizens including on the rooftops of local business

Right wingers have brought a tank to the vigil. The disrespect is unreal. It’s disgusting

Black Lives Matter activist heavily outnumber the presence of the right wingers

“Say his name!
Kevin Peterson!”

Activists are lighting candles as they chant Kevin Peterson’s name

Kevin Peterson’s name repeatedly chanted as hundreds of candles are held high

I have yet to see a single cop tonight. My hands are cold so I did voice to text the first try and this is what I got

Unsure who they belong to but multiple drones flying above

boy with gun big and strong

The vigil has ended. Another demonstration for Kevin Peterson JR. is now taking place

There are a LOT of people who showed up. Currently marching

Very large group here from Seattle to show solidarity for Kevin Peterson JR. Crowd is currently chanting “ACAB! All cops are bastards!” With a strong drum line

We approached a line of cops in their vehicles as we were marching. The crowd halted and officers announced that the bridge was closed. (It isn’t actually closed, they’re just fascists, allegedly)

Cops searching vehicles and taking down vin numbers

Group took a break from chanting to sing and dance to “bella ciao”

While marching the group was met with federal officers lined up protecting this federal building

Big stick.

Dj fedrad just announced the facility is closed and that everyone must remain “ on the sidewalk or across the street” or be subject to arrest including press

At the Clark County Sheriffs office, detainees have turned on their lights and are banging their windows in support

“End the world for KP.”
