Monday

But nobody left early and most stuck around until later.

Super calm on all fronts as well.

No big police presence, just a couple patrolmen by the city hall, smokin' & jokin' with the crowd, not many MAGAts driving by, and no counter protesters mucking things up.

5 stars - will protest again
