RIGHT NOW: Protestors set up camp outside @NCLeg, demand @NC_Governor, @SecMandyCohen & @ncdhhs lift #StayAtHome orders and #ReopenNC. There’s palpable anger & frustration amidst the crowd, which includes struggling small business owners. @ABC11_WTVD @ABCPolitics @ABC #abc11
The group #ReopenNC, which organized the protest, had originally called on other small business owners to stay in cars & honk horns. Demonstration has now morphed into campaign-style rally (I’m taking pics six ft away). @ABC11_WTVD @ABC @ABCPolitics #abc11
As @raleighpolice & @NCLeg GA Police get involved, some shout of “tyranny, “Gestapo” & “Comrade @NC_Governor.” Despite increase in volume, protest still peaceful. There are several families and school aged children here as well. @ABC11_WTVD @ABCPolitics @ABC #abc11 #stayathome
My educated guess is about 75-100 people now, with about half in their cars. Every 15 minutes or do demonstrators let loose with their horns. @ABC11_WTVD @ABC #abc1- @ABCPolitics #coronavirusNC #ReopenNC #StayAtHome
UPDATE: @raleighpolice appears to be closing streets around @NCLeg. Officers now warning the demonstration violates @NC_Governor #StayAtHome order & public health orders. Two warnings now that arrests will soon begin. @ABC11_WTVD @ABCPolitics @ABC #coronavirusNC
Third & final @raleighpolice warning appears to working as much of the crowd disperses. @WakeSheriff prison transports also arriving now, as officers also start walking through the parking lot and going to car to car. @ABC11_WTVD @ABCPolitics @ABC #abc11 #coronavirusNC
NEW: At least one person now under arrest by @raleighpolice for refusing to leave #ReopenNC demonstration outside @ncleg. At its height, there were probably 100+ people at the tailgate-style rally. @ABC11_WTVD @ABC @ABCPolitics #coronavirusNC #StayAtHome #abc11
