He's funny, but he agitates people to damage property and is dumber than a box of rocks.

He's walking down the dart track with his back to where the train comes

Yeah, it sounded okay for a while there with the two big groups, cops were getting organized, then they got in the small roads and alleys in DE.  And the west group also split up too.

Uptown sounds worse for violence against the cops.

I saw a report saying 74 arrests, so I think I win my bet.  There was that complaint on Ch 12 about how arrestees weren't being documented so the jail couldn't take them easily.


I head a call for 2133 Cedar Springs, that is Crescent and Rosewood.  That's getting towards pretty exalted territory.

More captured around El Fenix.

"Armed militias on the scene".  Good statement anyways.  Somebody prepared and well-spoken to talk to media.  Will be interesting to see the responses, Shaffer broke the beating video and got a ton of traffic, but Blaze is Glen Beck's thing.  So basically exposing this conservative viewpoint in the video to a bunch of people who wouldn't see it.




Also head a call for cop injured about 5 minutes ago, but it sounded like a car crash.  Lots of reports of rocks at cops now.

Or designate a concentration center to hold these idiots while they're processed over night.  It *is* a rather unusual event that the typical infrastructure was never designed to handle, after all.  There's gotta be some spare locking storage units.

DPS CID running around.  Got called in by DPD wondering who the armed guys in nondestript truck and van were.


I will have to call it a night soon.

Predictions for tomorrow?
Wife is very pessimistic.  I'd say everyone is tired and hungover, all the pastors get up and call for calm, and the other leadership having elephant tears about what it all means.  So Sunday might be quieter, but then a bump later on if it's still being pushed nationally, and DPD gets complacent from Sunday?

If you can hold everyone you picked up today for 24 hours, you got a shot at it. If they get released in a couple of hours, then it’s security theater.

Martel and Greenville Ave

Someone tried to set the DPD suburban parked at the 7-11 on fire

Then a fight broke out a block away, outside of OT Tavern

Seven shots were fired, I think into the air

No one was shot

So much for my peaceful night off Greenville

Trying to process what just happened.

Was sitting at outside the bar, and someone threw a molotov at the back of a police suburban, which sits unmanned at all times at the 7-11 on Penrose and Greenville.

I started walking toward the 7-11, taking video of the suburban. The fire went out, so I stopped taking video.

At that point, a fight broke out among a group of people outside of OT Tavern, a block south on Greenville and Martel. I don't know if this had anything to do with the attempt at setting the cop car on fire, or if it was just a coincidence.

A few moments into the fight, seven shots rang out. I didn't see any muzzle flashes, so I don't know exactly where the shots came from, but they were definitely close.

I assume the shooting was done to break up the fight. At any rate, it broke up a few moments later.

At that point, most people at the bar across the street where I was at began to disperse. People were shocked, and scared.

A guy from a nearby pizza place called the police. That was a while ago, and they haven't shown up.

I hate such broad language, but "we can't arrest these thieves, cuz there's too many thieves for the jail" is bullshit.  The shit I heard about jails "pushing back" demands some harsh words from the brass. Keep 'em in hallways and the Chief's office for the night if you have to, but their job is to get these animals off the streets and put some place they can't run away from a court proceeding.

Way off topic, but for the sake of History, El Fenix was one of the first TexMex restaurants.  "nachos" didn't even appear on menus till many years later for a time reference.

Sunday 5/31 protest is starting 3pm at Freedman's Cemetery on Lemmon at US 75. This is likely planned to disperse into Cityplace, Uptown, M-Streets and Park Cities. Stay away from the Katy Trail as Antifa elements used it last night to loot. I bet today's protest will lead to a shutdown of Central Expressway as the protest site is 200 yards from the freeway. Avoid these areas today as there will be widespread damage radiating out from this area. Antifa elements are supposed to be there.

Monday's protest is scheduled for 6:30pm at DPD HQ on Lamar. Once again, stay out of the Cedars, Downtown and Deep Ellum on Monday evening.

This has been talked about quite a bit on Twitter, in numerous locations, and I posted some videos earlier.  I could see it happening, but there's also a ton of construction going on, so it could be innocent.  One of the stacks I saw posted was all stacked up nicely, but not in a pallet.  I would not think that would have been stacked up if ut was just being dropped off as a provocation.

You just happen to have a bunch of sidewalk pavers delivered; the delivery company likely won't even have a clue what's going on, and they will stack the bricks like they would any other delivery.
