A scuffle, then a far right protester maces someone right in the facepic.twitter.com/pXSx7KReRm
Someone is setting up paints and an easel in front of the shield line Usually I have some snappy comment ready but for this? I've got nothingpic.twitter.com/mdeFzH100n
Wow, I'm sorry for not tweeting but I have been taking just insane video for half an hour This is a riot, PPB They haven't declared a riot, but this? What the far right is doing? A riot Take notes More soon
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
Happening now: protest consolidates to south side of block Also I'm getting hit with vegetables by the free speech activists. As always I am wearing my press vest and doing nothing but filmingpic.twitter.com/jWXFwEjKy8

I missed the end of this little adventure. Some chud absolutely filled the air with mace and I got that spicy sensation The protest is currently walking back towards the JC from 6th and Columbia. No sign of the chuds, I assume they retreated
Ok now that shit has calmed down I'm gonna attempt a recap The far right formed a shield wall. Swinney and several others began firing paintballs into the crowd in response to some thrown water bottles At least one person in the counterprotest returned fire with a paintball gun
Skirmishes broke out almost continuously for about half an hour. You would not BELIEVE how much footage I have. It's gonna have to be a YouTube video. I'll post clips shortly
At one point something that sounded like an actual gunshot roared out. Someone in the park fell. I have footage but it isn't clear what happened. Hopefully there are updates elsewhere: I haven't had a chance to check anything
A couple times, chuds threw something explosive into the crowd. One was a firework. A couple others were more smoke and boom than spark and I think they may have been homemade explosives. I have no proof of this, just what it looked like to me
The counter protest also threw at least one firework back at the chuds There was a great deal of mace, just SO MUCH MACE
HOLY SHIT Holy shit After letting the chuds mace and paintball for the last hour, after they have retreated, after they are GONE THE POLICE HAVE JUST DECLARED AN UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY people are literally just hanging out in Terry Schrunck and dancing
I don't know why I'm so shocked. It's just so fucking blatant Cops have also closed the sidewalks surrounding the plaza They are threatening arrests and crowd control munitions The police area gang, they are a far right gang, anyone who doesn't see this is not paying attention
