The paintballs are loaded with pepper gel. It’s a legit crowd control tool.

Where I was located around the back of the building, they used lots of flashbangs, teargas and pepper spray.

It was in no way a riot. It was a demonstration of well over 1,000,000 fed up patriots exhibiting Cold Anger.

From what I could see from a couple hundred feet away, damage was limited to tearing off some scaffold covers. People seemed to quickly get past the cops and once they got up on the bleachers, gasp-They waved flags and pumped their arms.

You were behind me and everything you said is true. I was in the center front literally front. Saw the first guy get tackled on the bleachers to the right and they were climbing the observation tower over there as well. It seemed all the heavy stuff was more over to the tower. On the left side is where I also saw people on the staircase going in through the tarp covering the scaffolding. I looked at some of my pics and zoomed in on this dude. He also was up front. 78CF53CE-0929-4A08-9AB7-68071C7411EC
