[Leica] PESO 03 26 17

[jshulman at judgecrater.com (Jim Shulman)]

It was at a meeting of two protests: a pro-Trump rally and an anti-Trump
reaction.  Despite a prediction of "thousands" of Trump supporters
descending on Independence Mall, there were no more than about sixty.  Of
the counter-protesters, about fifty.  However, a group wearing ski masks and
calling themselves anti-Fascists numbered about 150, and marched on Market
Street in front of the protest.  A few of them got a little
rambunctious--the smoke bombs in particular--and were detained by the
police.  My shot showed one of them against the police car.

All in all, it was the protest equivalent of Groundhog Day--I think that the
radio of photographers-to-protesters was about 10:1, and the protesters for
the most part looked at their shadows.  The Trump group's event consisted of
the usual three patriotic songs, a few speakers, and that was about it.
When I read the Philadelphia Inquirer's account of the event, I couldn't
believe that I'd been in the same place.  The Inquirer made it out to be an
echo of Chicago '68, while it was more like a dull Thursday afternoon in
front of Trump Tower.

Gripping. Do you have any details about what is going on? I can?t imagine
that the authorities were pleased that you took this photo.
