Down in Vancouver for a Justice and Accountability for Keven Peterson Jr. march. There were about 15 armed RW’ers when we left the park. They stopped being confrontational when they saw how many armed leftists there were.
Spoke to soon
They’re threatening to call the cops.... because people... have guns... I’m gonna pee 🤣

Here’s what happened when we got detained.

A thread:
On this night there was new graffiti popping up all over town during the late hours. I went on a little scavenger hunt because I wanted to see and document what I could before it got cleaned up. We were driving and saw “fuck thxgiving” & “land back” tagged all over Hawthorne so
We decided to explore on foot. Not that I need to explain myself, but because it was late af and there are literal nazis who want me dead I didn’t go alone, I brought someone with me who was legally armed. This is important later. Anyways, right as we park we hear the sound of

They said no cameras but I can live tweet?

Anywhere from 2-500 protestors in bloc are currently climbing over and in some cases under different fences and gates to get inside of the zoo. A wave of nostalgia washes over me as i hear chants of “our fence!”

They wouldn’t let people protest, kept blocking the march, then sent in the National Guard with hundreds of cops. Who is escalating this? Because it’s not the protesters.
Last night governor Kate Brown deployed the National Guard as protesters attempted to march. Once again in Portland, antifascist activists kept getting blocked for trying to practice their constitutional rights. Police and NG moved in formation together and injured many people
Police pushed us down to the ground a lot, made an arrest, and pushed press back a block away from what was happening. There were at least 10 arrests but this one was the only one I was able to *not see*

There are a LOT of people who showed up. Currently marching
Very large group here from Seattle to show solidarity for Kevin Peterson JR. Crowd is currently chanting “ACAB! All cops are bastards!” With a strong drum line
We approached a line of cops in their vehicles as we were marching. The crowd halted and officers announced that the bridge was closed. (It isn’t actually closed, they’re just fascists, allegedly)

Imagine attending a vigil for someone to have it be disrespectfully crashed by right wingers excited to show off their racism & hate. Tonight, that’s the unfortunate reality for Kevin Peterson Jr.’s family and friends as they try to mourn his death at tonight’s vigil in Vancouver
There are many heavily armed citizens including on the rooftops of local business
Right wingers have brought a tank to the vigil. The disrespect is unreal. It’s disgusting
