Years from now, people will walk among the graves of neighbors killed in mass shootings, and they will damn those who thought the proper way to address gun violence was more guns. They will damn us but we have already damned ourselves.
Multiple people were shot, some fatally, at a mall near Dallas by a gunman who authorities believe was acting alone — and who is now dead — and at least nine victims were transported to trauma facilities, officials said https://cnn.it/3HNpa0F
Set during WWII, in this military adventure, a small, specialized squad of U.S. Army African American soldiers are sent on an unofficial rescue mission behind enemy lines to locate their missing commanding officer.

Today I was arrested at the #Coronation on suspicion of carrying eggs. I was identified by facial recognition cameras, and snatched from the protest in handcuffs so tight they cut my skin. For the second time I was dragged through a crowd of monarchists baying for my blood....1
Incredible pageantry and ceremony for a royal family partly financed by the proceeds of the Royal African Company, which made a fortune from the murder, torture, rape, exploitation of more than 187,000 men, women and children. There's no escape from this brutal truth. #EmpireLand
Today’s #Coronation is a moment of extraordinary national pride.
No other country could put on such a dazzling display.
But it is not just a spectacle.
It’s a proud expression of our history, culture, and traditions.
It is a vivid demonstration of the modern character of our…Show more
Each one of these is a scandal. “Suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance,” is a license for arrest without cause, and a way to crack down on the right to dissent.
We now have a full breakdown of coronation protest arrests from the Met Police
All under 2022 law on "public nuisance" or breach of the peace (Public Order Act 1936, I think)

Protestors of King Charles and the monarchy also turned out for the #Coronation with a variety of signs, flags and placards. And most memorably songs with some NSFW lyrics.
We understand public concern following arrests made this morning.
We police proportionately and in the context of the event.
This is a once in a generation moment and that has been a key consideration.

The Met arrested members of the City of Westminster’s Night Safety team. They are volunteers. They were pulled last night at 2am and have been held for 14 hours. One of them came out of the station in tears. Police didn’t apologise.

"It's the pinnacle of our culture."
We asked the crowd why they wanted to attend today's #coronation.

King Charles was anointed and crowned, along with his second wife Camilla as queen, in Britain's biggest ceremonial event in seven decades, a display of pomp and pageantry that sought to marry 1,000 years of history with a monarchy fit for a new era https://reut.rs/3VAlGEp

King Charles crowned in coronation 70 years in making. The king closed his eyes repeatedly as he appeared overcome with emotion during the moving ceremony.
Congratulations to King Charles III and Queen Camilla on their Coronation. The enduring friendship between the U.S. and the U.K. is a source of strength for both our peoples.
I am proud the First Lady is representing the United States for this historic occasion.
Gotta say - the Greek Orthodox choir and all the nods to other faiths are actually pretty cool. Closest a grand ceremony by this establishment has come to represent the country that actually is.
The symbolism of Prince Harry's coronation appearance. Prince Harry cut a forlorn figure as he arrived for King Charles III's coronation. In a parallel universe somewhere, how different his experience of the day might have been.
Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards
So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart
Because I support the Monarch. You have every other day of the year to protest the Monarchy. Literally every single one.
You can afford to be gracious & hold your tongue for one day. twitter.com/AyoCaesar/stat…
This week I spoke to Ben Clinton, one of the anti-monarchists protesting the #Coronation2023 on the importance of being allowed to peacefully demonstrate.
It's been reported that he was arrested this morning #Coronation#KingCharles#Monarchy#UK
And then a small boy called out, "But the King is wearing no clothes!" He was immediately arrested by the Metropolitan police, and was prosecuted for disrupting the coronation celebrations. And that, children is how civil rights became a fairytale.
