Another verbal confrontation between the several Pro-Newsom group and some pro-Recall people. LBPD stationing several more vehicles nearby, as several walk through.
Things getting crazy. Will fill in blanks later. Trump side is on each corner now, police seem to not be able to contain.
(Moving backward a little) As rumors began that President Biden would be going to be going through the intersection of Carson / Faculty, a group of pro-Recall began assembling on the other side.
Thread broke
Another view once things beginning to get confrontational, this time from the pro-Newsom side (beginning to be just one of the sides, lots of mixing)
Police beginning to form a small line across the street from the entrance to LPCC. One pro-Recall man being yelled at for being on the pro-Newsom side.
As the pro-Recall Ralliers fill the streets and the median, LBPD informs several of the pro-Newsom people they need to remain in the street. I’d put the numbers at about 500+ pro-Recall, less than 20 pro-Newsom. Pro-Newsom Ralliers upset about what they feel is uneven policing.
Pro-Recall demonstrators take over all corners and several medians within the road as the Biden caravan speeds through. Groups begin making their way further down Faculty closer to the entrance to LPCC where Biden is scheduled to speak.
Pictures of the Presidential limousines while pulling into LBCC.
As the caravan of President Biden continues, some shoving of pro-Recall protestors. One pro-Newsom protestor yells “get ‘em out.”
