winning a senate seat on Nov 3rd. Please think about that before retweeting anything about what is going on in Louisville.

quietly right this second.

(Of course, being quiet in one's own house is no guarantee or safety or peace, as we have seen.)

a crime worth the brutal rage of cops to arrest people standing around and protesting.

No one has been violent that I've seen. No destruction of property.

And it's going to get worse.

This won't stay a protest. The police and supremacist terrorists are going to start a riot. I hope nobody gets killed.

I saw a video earlier of several people pulling large antifa signs out of a U-Haul downtown (broadway and 4th) and saw those same signs laying next to people who'd been arrested where they've essentially dispersed the crowd now

some left in the Grinstead/Bardstown Rd area.

Very peaceful small crowd there. Nothing happening for quite a while.

Some guy walked up to the cops and said "Y'all need to be out of the road. It's illegal to block a road like that"

10 seconds later, the police played that announcement that it's an unlawful assembly and chemical agents may be used if they don't disperse

Asking who in the crowd is over 18

Go register and go vote or this doesn’t matter
