Arts and craft project getting set up on the far right side A chant of "Blue Lives Matter." They're just not very good at chanting, this is my professional analysispic.twitter.com/W9meiWzBxX

The far right rally has set up a terrible speaker system. I cannot hear a word they're saying. Something about a 10-year-old child

A couple water bottles thrown at the far right. They have not hit anyone

Another small group of far right protesters by Terry Schrunk Plaza.

Police respectfully ask the two groups to remain on opposite side of the street. Super weird to hear the LRAD so friendly. Almost like they have more affection for the people in front of the JC today than other citizens who have historically protested here

An activist of color stands with her back to the far right and decries the aggression of the counteprotesters and demands they take several steps back It is my analysis that this is not where the aggression is coming from "You do not represent us!!" a megaphone shouts

"don't listen to Rhianna Coleman, she is a far-right agitator! You do not need to listen to her!"

Situation: extremely tense but controlled for now. Battle lines drawn. The far right has copied shield wall tactics, which is keeping a pretty clear boundary between the protest and counter-protest

Now that she's been called out, the black far-right protester is standing in the shield wall. She is talking about how the far right respects her for who she is, not her genetics These people are gonna be in for a rude awakening if the far right winspic.twitter.com/34fQFW0ZFm

An observation: the far right shield line is tense. Ready at all times for impact The BLM shield lines at night are loose. They know the importance of saving energy for the real fight This is because they have actual experiencepic.twitter.com/4WWsMDlZX9

Risking a video break to tweet Paintball shots exchanged, mostly from far right. Several attacks. A charge. Something that sure sounded like a gunshon They attacked the snack van tried to rock it so I'd fall off. One of my eyes closed because of mace
