I’ve been to two protest BLM protest and no kings day celebration protest. BLM protest was intimidating at first because I Parked close to the event and police had us surrounded and were gasing us, but that ended with them putting their shield and bats down as symbolic way of ending hostilities. No Kings day was way more chill and no confrontation with authorities that I witnessed but some happened before I got there, other than that it was mostly talking to people and expressing yourself in public.

There’s fun stories

    I may or may not be related to John Brown. The guy who tried to free the slaves before the civil war in America.

    I definitely did have shakes early on in the kings protest, it really was like climbing to the peak of a roller coaster, but payoff is way different. You definitely have to react to things you can not expect.

    I did enjoy going up to trump supporters with my Palestine flag and trying to empathize with him not being part of a popular movement
