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

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
