Scuffle between Alex Jones and a couple of guys in the public square. I got shoved down in the scrum. Bike cops pushed everyone back quick
-
Jones got whisked out of the crowd and into a waiting SVU. Sped off.
Here's video of what happened: Infowars' Alex Jones, guys chanting "off our streets, Nazi scum," the ensuing scufflepic.twitter.com/GrvBHFl44Y

Easily the most tense thing I've seen so far this week. The cops -- Chief Williams was on the steps too -- broke it up really quickly.
-
Public square is pretty crowded, and reporters & onlookers flock to the more controversial folks there. So it was tight around Jones already
-
He struggled through the crowd with his mic, and that's where he met the guys on the steps. (and yours truly, trying to get out of the way)
-
Anyway things are crowded but p back to normal. Cops separating these guys and BLM protesters shouting rebuttalspic.twitter.com/7767AoCfxn

Just for clarification: the above preachers/counter protesters situation wasn't connected to the Alex Jones scrum. Other end of the park.
-
Police, by the way, had been covering the entire park, but moving out of formation nowpic.twitter.com/YDp5V9AzmQ
