Houston March and Memorial for George Floyd

Just saw some alert that protestors are climbing on a Metro bus downtown. But didn’t see anything else about it. Hope this goes peaceful! The looting and destruction of property is pathetic.

 

It turns out these ended up being led by the J. Prince family #mobties

 

Is there a curfew in place? Was there a reason why they were asking people to leave?

 

downtown being closed has a lot to do with it

 

Your're telling me the mob supports BLM. #awesome
Maybe they can talk some sense into ferntits.

 

26 reporting one stabbing

and there was a naked guy earlier

 

#mobties movement with the prince family has nothing to do with the mob you're likely thinking of.

 

Nothing but respect for your effort, man.

 

My job called me and said don't bother coming in tonight it will be damn near impossible to get into town. It sounds like the event did well and it was peaceful good job Houston.

 

One of my early experiences when I was moving into Third Ward (so circa 2003) was seeing the black cowboys riding down Southmore. There was a stable on the Museum District side of 288. But it closed soon after I moved in and they moved further south down 288, and that property was sold to build condos. That was too bad because I was psyched about becoming a white black urban cowboy thinking there was going to be a stables next door.

I did successfully attend this one, despite torrential rain. Hard to hear anything in person because of the hard rain on the corrugated iron roof. My pastor also spoke, but you don't see him in this clip.

 

Link to drone footage of the event on reddit:



Edit...good picture

 

Wimp.

 

the diversity of that crowd just brings a smile to my face

 

Awesome. But what a covid-bomb it's going to be. My wife marched so even though we're already pretty isolated we're going to be more scrupulous this week in case she's sick.

 

...one crisis at a time, sir.
