A bike cop made a brief appearance, made a phone call, and left Things calm again for now The police as constituted are not helpful. It would be nice if we had an actual institution that could help in cases like this

Things mostly calm. The gentleman who punched the guy in the face earlier is now in a verbal altercation with

I got a long interview with J.P. of BLM Ribs that I think is instructive. I'll upload that to YouTube when I get home I also spoke to

Folks I just got some more....absolutely mind-blowing interview footage with BLM Ribs. I know what I'm working on tonight One very important thing to note: BLM Ribs has declared Jail Support "over" and that they intend to "crash" it should it resume Please be very careful

I think things are over at the JC but even if they aren't, I'm sure done. I need--and am going to acquire--a VERY stiff drink Solidarity with everyone still out here
