Will share a few photos later, here’s a little rundown…
Large turnout for the People’s March. Many orgs were involved and lots of folks showed up. There was a decent sized group of people in black bloc. Not long into the march the group of people in bloc split from the main group and headed towards the police precinct. A handful of tags went up. Almost instantly the group started getting tailed by both bike cops and some asshole right wing streamer who was trying so hard to instigate a fight.
Bloc huddled up and made a decision to rejoin the group. I wasn’t part of this conversation so couldn’t tell you why, but I would guess for safety since numbers weren’t huge and the police were making note of distinctive features and who was doing what.
Bloc rejoined the main group and the RW streamer was still being an obnoxious asshole. Not sure what exactly happened, but there was an altercation between the streamer and bloc. Before I knew it the streamer had someone in bloc in a chokehold. People immediately went to their defense and managed to get them away from him. A few moments pass and I see the streamer again, only at this point his face had been covered in green spray paint.
Not long after this Olympia police made two arrests. Unclear why.
Festival of Resistance is about to start. There’s a bunch of zines and resources and breakout discussions starting soon
