Hi, it's @1misanthrophile coming at you from the JC, where a large, socially-distant crowd gathers on 3rd St to hear speeches from the JC steps
I'm sure they'd rather be in the park but someone fenced it off

The mood is somber, subdued. It's very weird to be here in daylight. An activist I've seen before gives a speech with a megaphone near the courthouse. The official stage is in front of the Justice Center. Seems to be a break in speeches there

Crowd completely blocks traffic. People sitting on the Justice Center sidewalk. Weird how this is fine when the sun is out and the bodies in the street wear jeans and t-shirts, but violent rioting when it's night and everyone wears black

The speaker just told a Will Smith joke, which I will not subject you to This is a very wholesome gathering and I'm about to wander off
