We marched peacefully around the Penitentiary.  Some people lamented that we had no chant, but it made for a nice quiet orderly march.

 

Support

People honked their horns and waved in approval as we passed.

We took photo ops and handed out flyers on the corner of Corinthian and Fairmount

 

Police Action

A call goes into 911 saying that there is an unruly mob with upwards of 300 people that look like they might get violent.

and Cipriano's house is given police protection

 

 

The Ugly
As I walked away toward my home a guy tells me  that if they come by again.  He will "hit you in the face".
The police, just three doors down, come over to talk to the man.  Others identify him as the man that had threatened them before and been seen at Cipriano's house. Police report #07-09-39511 is filed with the 9th.
