Mersky
(4,986 posts)He gets up into the front of any actions. Tonight hes at the federal building where protestors have surrounded the door where the feds exit to exact their imbecilic discipline and aggression on the crowds.

(4,986 posts)They have been doubly barricaded by the moms.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Ugh. Have I mentioned lately how it shouldnt have to come to this - govern well in a just society is all that is needed.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)At press and anyone - moms, dads, new and old protestors. Doesnt matter.

(4,986 posts)Not sure what I could do from my house. But with tRump endeavoring to cause unrest, well, its become clear that I have to start sharing what is actually happening. The dysfunctional response of authorities over these weeks has been ridiculous.
Am just glad others are observing
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Folks are rather spaced apart. Not running, not damaging anything, just standing and watching for riot agents.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Seems a canister has sparked a fire in the park? or on a median? hard to tell
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Is nuts
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Seemed that wind swept a cloud of freshly fired tear gas back towards the feds. As someone in the chat said: praise the wind.

Mersky
(4,986 posts)Evans is reporting that the feds on the streets tonight have real assault rifles. He noted that riot police never carry guns, only riot weapons.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)So, the moms and crowd were up against the door to the federal building and started to push their way in to limited effect. Ever since, the protestors have been dealing with riot lines of federal agents lobbing munitions at the scattered crowd.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Now the hope is that people can take their successes for the night and not give the feds too many people to arrest. Is the gist of Evans last sentiment before his feed dropped out. I think hes okay - will see if it comes back up in a bit.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Over at the federal building. More people filming with cameras than animated individuals throwing stuff at the doors leading to agents.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)And the stream froze.
