Shotout also to the conservative dude standing beside me, at his first ever protest, waving an American flag because “this is all too much” and politely scolding the jerks. One dude drove by with a giant Confederate flag — in Puget Sound, ffs — and he yelled, “It’s not too late to change!”

The are line dancing in the middle of the protest while shouting Fuck ICE

Apparently the City of LA said if you’re gonna send the military, we’re gonna give you a show. So far the guard is not down there though. It’s still LAPD vs protesters. And the protesters aren’t violent. They’re only taking up space and making noise. But that space and noise is beautiful.
