Something new: the PPB has boarded up the second story...window? Facade? I dunno what to call it, but it's boarded People still fighting about RCJ. Chanting has died down again. The suspicion is both necessary and roughpic.twitter.com/hjwHAC7wka

Listening to a local track about police. Hanging out, decorating the JC. 0 sign of cops
"While I will never police how people protest, I do invite everyone within the sound of my voice not to light shit on fire tonight. Keep in mind that there are inmates in the building"
Getting word that the reason we aren't seeing any pigs is because they're all up North. Solidarity to everyone holding it the fuck down out there
There's a kind of alchemy we've only experienced in the past few days. Once the fence comes down and the cops don't immediately assault us, it's a whole new kind of calm. Music. Chatting. Smoking. Graffiti. A feeling of chill relaxation impossible when the sacred fence is present
Reports of cops on Burnside gearing up. So much for peace if true
No sign of them yet. Rumors and whispers, perhaps Here's some very polite graffiti for your nervespic.twitter.com/Jk0dF0Haz8
Literally 15 seconds after I send tweet the police arrives
By arrive, I mean they fired a barrage of pepper bullets from the JC. Now silence again. The music starts up What a bizarre statement. "We're here, we randomly shoot, get used to it"
If they wanted the extremely chill crowd to get less chill, they got their wish. We are at the back of the JC Cannot overstate how much this move would not have happened without that random fucking barrage
"Stop. Fucking. Shooting at us. There are no riots. There's no looting. Suck my whole dick" The misanthrophile fact-checking team tells me all of this is correct
And with that message delivered, we're back to the front of the JC
Gonna head North to see what's going on out there. @DonovanFarley and @PDocumentarians are holding it down with the JC coverage!
