I am new to photo journalism, and not particularly well suited to it, so I apologize for poor angles and composition and for missing so much of what was going on around me. The “intolerance will not be tolerated” banner could be the basis for great memes about these people’s complete lack of any sense of irony.
After having aided in the logistics of securing transportation for our people leaving MacIntyre Park, I returned to the Lee Square vicinity around 2PM. A couple blocks down the street I found Justice Park to be occupied by a heavily armed group. The fact that the police standing nearby were not trying to get them to disperse was clear indication that they were NOT one of the Alt-right pro-white groups. A journalists I spoke to later told me that he had interviewed people from the group and that they were Three Percenters. I have no way of verifying this. But I do think that to have any group show up armed with AR-15 semiautomatic rifles makes it more likely that other groups will escalate their arsenals at the next event, which could lead to a bloodbath.

I then started feeling very unwelcome in the little park with the heavily armed people who ordered me to put away my phone. Isolated, I hardly felt it was the time or place to argue what right they had to infringe on my constitutional rights, so I move a couple blocks south, which was the scene of the car crash.
I saw a older black woman stretched out in a bus shelter. I had not yet heard about the car crash, so I just assumed that she was overcome by the heat, but she must of been one of the injured from the car crash. A white clergyman with a “Black Lives Matter” button pinned to his robe was trying to call the medics.
One point of interest was that the white BLM protesters were periodically harassed by ghetto blacks who didn’t seem to understand or care what the sides were in this conflict. Just after I shot the above video a colored gentleman informed the mostly white Black Lives Matter supporters that he had spent 13 years as a Marine sniper in Iraq and was pissed at all of us for this shit. For the benefit of the hard of hearing and retarded among us (and I fear the latter group was particularly over-represented), he repeated this public service announcement several times at the top of his lungs.
Below you can see the polices line blocking the crash scene at Water and 2nd Streets:
And here are the Black Lives Matter crackers defiantly calling for the overthrow of the constitutionally elected American government. No wonder Governor McAullife said they had no place in his state. Wait, this just in… It was actually the people wanted to peacefully assemble after having received a permit from the city and were then violently attacked who the governor demanded leave. The people demanding a communist revolution are welcome.'
