Well, got to watch today's protest march go by from my fifteenth floor window.

weaver ♪
Anyone know why the antifas had giant spider-puppet things?

weaver ♪
they were cool-looking, but I don't know why they existed

weaver ♪
And then sirens went by. I saw someone throw a rock at the Bank of America across the street, and now Twitter is saying the march permit has been canceled

weaver ♪
as of about two minutes ago

weaver ♪
I've got another hour before I can go home, so I'm sure it'll all be over before I leave

weaver ♪
But according to this article, it'll be a little harder for them to charge anyone they decide to arrest tonight

weaver ♪
also, because memes are worth it, here is a protestor trying to hand a pepsi to a cop:

There are a lot of sirens out there, and a lot of cops in riot gear for what was almost certainly less than a thousand marchers (disclaimer: I am very bad at estimating crowds)

"Protesters start fire near 3rd/Morrison" I had to look out the window, that's the MAX stop I usually get off at, but it must be up on the other side of the block

weaver ♪
yeah holy cow that is just up the street. the helicopter taking that live video feed is hovering over my building right now

be safe getting home, yeah?

weaver ♪
the fire they set, it's in the middle of the intersection right outside the movie theater near my work

weaver ♪
they've got it out now

ғʟʏɪɴɢ ᴄᴏᴍᴇᴛ☆
I'm taking the 20 I'll be fine

weaver ♪
Good.

ғʟʏɪɴɢ ᴄᴏᴍᴇᴛ☆
fuck the max but you be safe too

weaver ♪
as for myself, well, I'm on the phone until 5:30

weaver ♪
if things aren't cleared up by then I might be exploring different transit options for getting home

weaver ♪
the MAX is re-routed so I catch it up by Pioneer Square

weaver ♪
sirens intensify

weaver ♪
honestly this is pretty cool

weaver ♪
KGW shows them still marching, turning aside from streets with police at the end

weaver ♪
it's now been declared a riot

weaver ♪
Protesters now making off with road equipment

weaver ♪
they're dragging one of those electric signs with them

weaver ♪
it seems kinda silly honestly

weaver ♪
Ah. Left it in an intersection, stopping traffic and the MAX train from passing

weaver ♪
More distant sirens, but I'm about to be off the clock.

weaver ♪
Phone's charged, I'll update if I run into problems

weaver ♪
my Cap hoodie includes a mask, amusingly, and I have a bandanna in my pocket

weaver ♪
Made it to the Max station without incident, but no idea when it'll come

weaver ♪
Anarchist signs spray painted everywhere.

weaver ♪
Anarchy always seemed too idealistic for me, but they're making my day more interesting

weaver ♪
Update now at 6th and Burnside waiting for the 20

empress (temp.)
Stay safe and I hope you get home all right!
