My facebook feed just went nuts with folks pissed about BLM marching on Bennington sunday the 30th. Can anyone confirm?

That was a painting of BLM on South Street, right out front of the cop shop & town hall. I got nothing re: a 'march', protest, etc.

I was by there about 17:45 Sunday. Looked like they had a pretty decent crowd.



The word I get is that it was largely peaceful. There were some arguments, and several instances of shoving, etc. There were apparently 4 or 5 arrests made due to that.

There were some agitators doing things like standing in the way and refusing to move. And one who dumped a water bottle over the fresh paint. She got arrested, from what I hear.

I stopped down by the site this morning expecting to see some bold work across both lanes. Imagine my surprise when I found this:



Looks pretty half-ass to me.
