There are maybe 15 counter-protesters. Seriously outnumbered As the armed whatever walks down Main they turn their backs, hold their middle fingers almost, and chant George Floyd's name

It looks like the far-right portion of today is over, at least I'm not a big selfie person: not my style. But I'm posting this one so you can see exactly what I looked like when I was threatened I am not in bloc. I am wearing a press passpic.twitter.com/ub2em1TSVH

Looks like things are over, thank God. A few people from the counterprotest are at Chapman trying to help the houseless people whose stuff got fucked with I'm told someone has brought supplies and tents. I love this city sometimes Gonna stick around for a few more minutes

(I want to make it clear that it's not OK to threaten someone for filming no matter what they are wearing. Definitely did not mean to imply otherwise. I just wanted to make it real clear that in no way did I appear threatening)

Wow I am getting a lot of pushback on my trigger discipline comment You're all correct: his finger is not literally resting on the trigger. His discipline could be much worse It could also, in my personal opinion, be better. Like, not resting directly over the guard

It is my personal belief that if you're gonna carry a goddamn AR-15 in a tense urban environment full of civilians you should make it very clear to everyone that your finger is away from the trigger It should rest either above the guard or, optimally, not be extended at all

What does my delicate feminine brain know about trigger discipline? I deployed twice to Afghanistan with the 82nd AIrborne Division and while I did not see combat I definitely know my way around a fucking M-4 thanks

A few people have pointed out that the guy with the AR-15 who threatened me sure looks a lot like the guy I interviewed a week ago I guess he didn't like how that went for himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhGUdDbJY5c …

You look great but I don’t care if you were in bloc! You don’t need to justify any of this, especially not your attire. You should not have been threatened or treated that way regardless
glad you’re safe. -
That's a really good point. Definitely didn't mean to imply it would have been OK no matter what I'd been wearing My point, which maybe wasn't awesome, was that all their excuses are bullshit. They just don't like anyone who isn't them
