Its rainy in Richmond. I decided to go for a walk and check out the Lee statue. Have I mentioned that this graffiti is not coming off.
there are a few dozen people here including @BlackLiq
walking down to the police station, I spot 14 state police vehicle, all with 3-4 officers inside
getting a peak at this set up here at the Richmond Police headquarters on Grace Street
getting a peak at the armored vehicle, a state officer says "I follow you on Twitter, keep up the good work."
I don't know what's going on tonight or where it will be, but I can just feel it.
OK, it was posted elsewhere, I am walking to Monroe Park.
Sitting in the gazebo away from the rain, more than 100 people already here
several hundred out here in the rain

open carry protesters in the march
on 6th and Broad, where mayor stoney might be
protesters are inside miller and Rhodes hotel
a man with the property wants everyone to wear a mask, theres confusion if this is the right place
it was definitely the wrong place, now on 5th and east grace, stand around
Looks like the plan is to just hold some space here for a little while
Maybe the crowd went in the right place to find Mayor Stoney after all. I don't know what the plan is, I just follow the crowd. https://twitter.com/ThePotato_Sloth/status/1273078901091295233?s=19
