    I hope they’re putting every protestor on a watch list. This has to be a high density of nutcases that could lose their shit at any time.

      God knows how many of them are carrying guns there too. Conservatives are probably already getting ready to put the blame on “ANTIFA” if violence starts.

        I’m sure there’s at least gonna be a couple of eyes looking out for that because they are exactly the kind of people who’d show up to this expecting no one’ll arrest them.

            Exactly. Or even just a “They didn’t nab me, so I must be important enough to protect” for the ones who are deep in the paint.

      Shouldn’t be too hard I just popped on the live stream and it looks like maybe… 100? protesters and counter-protesters out there. Or in other words, the biggest crowd ever to attend what is going to be the first witch hunt in America, ever.
