A group of maybe 5 people wander into the march. They're looking for a fight and they get one. One of them collapses clutching his eye, screaming he's been maced The crowd attempts to deescalate. "Keep moving!"

The rally stops. A Black activist takes the megaphone "We're getting reports that the family of Kevin Peterson wants us to go back to the vigil spot" A discussion about what to do from here

Umbrellas and shields to the front. The crowd advances, hands up. "Stay together, stay tight! We do this every night!" "Fuck this, don't put your hands up, put your fists up!" A chant of "fists up, fight back!" The cop cars sit ahead on the bridge, silentpic.twitter.com/DVBt7nSzza

Ok I guess this is a federal building. Clark county superior court A debate over whether to engage or keep moving. A helicopter roars overhead Gas mask time? I think gas mask time

Looks like we're staying "Say his name! Kevin Peterson!" The federal protective services informs us that the building is closed. I think. It's hard to hear over the chants

Another announcement from the FPS. They seem to be maybe telling us to stay across the street or be arrested? You'd think they could afford a decent PA with all that money they get Looks like the Codpiece Boys are backpic.twitter.com/GNdtitvMpN

The protesters are saying Kevin Peterson's name and look I am not trying to tell anyone what to do but the Clark County Sherrif's Office is half a block away and we could shout this at that building instead. They're the specific bastards who did a murder the most recently

The rally chooses to leave. As they walk off the feds announce louder than before that anyone, including press, will be subject to arrest if they trespass on federal property It's like they want us to stay so they can fuck us up They don't get their wish. The crowd moves out

The protest continues to march but I, tragically, am done. Whiny baby or not, I'm gonna ice this foot instead of marching for miles in IV plate Solidarity with everyone still out here!
