Here on west side of Supreme Court, hundreds of pro-choice and pro-life activists.

Police have barricades splitting into two sections.

North side pro-choice activists (flanked on their west by prolifers with big banners) and South side pro-lifers.
Hand-drawn very approximate map, for reference:

Red = Anti-abortion access activists

Green = Pro-abortion access activists

Blue = police lines / areas only accessible to cops
A group of TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) are out here to describe abortion as a “sex-based right.”

“Only women and girls get pregnant” it says on their signs.

"This is about controlling our bodies" said @RepJayapal today outside the Supreme Court as the abortion case began oral arguments.

"Do not criminalize me and millions of women like me across the country! Do not criminalize those that help us!"

#DobbsvJackson #RoeVWade
"Nobody is free until everybody is free!" said @AyannaPressley speaking outside the Supreme Court. "Liberate abortion!"

"We must legislate and organize and mobilize as if lives depend on it, because they do!"

'#LiberateAbortion' was frequently chanted today outside the court.
Across from the Supreme Court, anti-abortion activists identifying as progressive and secular chanted "hell no, we don't need Roe!"

"We are the pro-life generation, and we will abolish abortion!"

EARLIER raw footage thread: This was the scene outside of the courthouse as supporters and opponents of #KyleRittenhouse learned that he had been fully acquitted.
Jacob Blake's uncle says he's shocked "as hell" about the #RittenhouseAcquittal, but he felt the judge "was putting his hands on the scale" on evidence and procedure rulings.

He says Rittenhouse "wouldn't have made it down the street" without being shot, if he were Black.
Mark McCloskey (who was photoed armed confronting BLM) said it's a "great day for the Second Amendment" and that he "couldn't be prouder" of justice system following Rittenhouse verdict.

He says he only visited post-trial so they "couldn't be accused of influencing the outcome."

This guy, apparently a former Ferguson cop (many people said this and he seemed to verbally confirm it), has been walking around outside #Kenosha courthouse with a Colt rifle bag, after yesterday showing up at the courthouse with a rifle that he was asked to put away.
After the man who showed up with a rifle bag outside the #Kenosha courthouse was confronted about the bag, he finally opened it.

Rather than his rifle from yesterday, he pulled out a black rubber sex toy.

He apparently was trying to appear armed to plan that gag.
To be clear, this is what he looked like yesterday before police made him put away his actual gun.

Earlier: Two arrested after brief fight outside courthouse in Kenosha.

Apologies for vertical video, I scrambled to get phone on; I have more (but not all) of what led to this on my HD camera which I’ll go through later.

As I post this, crowd much more agitated now.
Just for context - this was about an hour and a half ago now and the cell signal has been so shitty it just went through as I left the area completely.
Journalist @ScooterCasterNY captured the beginning of the interaction that led to the arrests.

BREAKING: It is with a heavy heart that I release the following thread.

Tonight, I received video from the Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office that shows the death of Arvada hero Johnny Hurley.

This thread shows death/violence. Viewer discretion advised.
The released version of this previously abridged angle shows Ronald Troyke murder officer Gordon Beesley from behind at 25 seconds in.

Johnny Hurley engages Ronald Troyke at 1 minute 25 seconds in, killing him.

Johnny goes to Troyke's body, and then off screen.

(CW: Violence)
The Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office also provided a video showing Johnny's response to the mass shooter all the way from his time inside the Army Surplus store to him shooting the mass shooter through multiple angles.

(Warning: Violence/death)

Quick thread: As a videojournalist, I'm around guns a lot.

Following a high profile negligent Hollywood discharge, here's my two cents:

If you're ever around guns (especially you, journalists) - even if you don't carry - take a gun safety class.
This is from a livestream in February.

You'll hear me ask someone off-camera if he knows his rifle's safety is off (it was strapped on his back with one in the chamber).

He thought safety was on, and said "Jesus" when he looked and turned it on.
The possibility of negligent discharge is not an abstraction.

Last year as the NFAC militia performed their *safety check* ahead of a march, a single ND caused three injuries.
