A coalition of socialists, anarchists and others held a "Protest Against State Repression" on Saturday afternoon in Atlanta, Georgia. Their march began at the CNN Headquarters.

Footage by Joey Pluto for @N2Sreports. Apologies for being late, this was a long weekend.
The "Protest Against State Repression" said they don't need or want the protection of the police, and instead had a couple of armed security of their own.
"This is what unity looks like right?" said one speaker. He said the police didn't follow them because of their numbers and unity.

A flier advertising the protest had a dozen sponsoring organizations listed, ranging from a Young Democrats Caucus to a Socialist third party.
"We have no choice but to organize the masses, the working class," said a speaker. See more of his speech:
"We have to make sure that we're out collectively," said another speaker. "Anarchism means community care. It means we don't need the fucking state."
Here's the full, 4K video of Saturday's "Protest Against State Repression" in Atlanta, GA, shot by Joey Pluto for @N2Sreports.

As always, all footage available to license.

After the Cville car attack in 2017, a Youtuber named William Evans (who went by "SonOfNewo") made a series of viral videos claiming it was a "hoax," & that I was the deep state cameraman.

In 2018, he set the videos to private and vanished.

On Monday, I saw him at Walter Reed. ImageImageImage
I don't want to extensively platform his bullshit, but for context, here's the crux of the argument he made over several videos.

In short, he claims that neo-Nazis aren't real, and I must have been working for a "three-letter agency" to film them.

(The cuts in this are his.)
Needless to say, the three-letter agency I contributed my coverage of white nationalists to was PBS, and the work won an Emmy.

I don't think that's what he meant though.

Jason @JasonRCharter Charter has been arrested and charged with Misdemeanor simple assault in the incident that occurred between him and other antifascist activists versus @JackPosobiec.

(Redactions on report mine)

This is my uncut video of the incident: ImageImageImage
In footage shot just yesterday by @blackhousenew, Jason was released from jail over an incident that occurred at the National Mall on Saturday.

It appears he was re-arrested on this three-month old assault less than a day later.

Additionally, @JasonRCharter still faces three felonies related to his alleged role in the attempted toppling of the Andrew Jackson statue at the White House.

He and his lawyer held a press conference responding to those charges in early August.

4K, 60FPS footage: President Trump departs from Walter Reed Medical Center in Marine One.

Supporters cheered for the president, who flew low and did a half-loop around the crowd before heading to the White House.

Full res, available to license:
Hundreds of President Trump's supporters stood across the street ahead of his departure from the hospital, with some driving by and honking as well.

"USA! USA!" they cheered. "We love you Trump! We love you Trump!
I spoke to a man with a sign reading "Send French Fries! Get Orange Man Good... Again! I love DJT."

He says he's a "die-hard conservative" and got out of the hospital yesterday in New York from an "unexpected problem" and is glad he could be here "while this is still going on."

HD footage thread: This afternoon, #MAGA activists have been assembled at Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland to support President Trump who is being treated inside for COVID19.

In a new tweet, Trump says he will be leaving the hospital tonight at 6:30 p.m.
"We wanted to share with our country and our people that Jesus is the answer for all our problems in America," said one Trump supporter. "And then number two we wanted to come out and pray for our president and the first lady and the whole cabinet that has contracted this virus."
Additional raw footage: Trump supporters line the streets outside Walter Reed.

On Saturday, a skirmish that took place at the #WalkAway march in DC that left three protesters against the event arrested.

My contributor @T_Jones_Media filmed on the scene.

This shows the fight from the beginning, when an officer grabbed a megaphone making loud noise at him.
Antifa activist @JasonRCharter - who is already currently facing felony charges in a case related to the Andrew Jackson statue at the White House - was among the arrested.

Jason walks with a cane, and told police, "You're injuring me further" as they walked him away without it.
Jason was seen receiving medical attention following the arrest, and he was ultimately put into an ambulance handcuffed to a stretcher.

My understanding is that he is still in jail.

From my experience in DC, he will likely be released Monday.
