Yesterday in the metro DC area the weather turned unexpectedly nice. So we went to downtown DC to see the damage from the beginning of the month and see if things were getting back to normal. Plus we wanted to see the BLM street. First tingle of the spidey sense was all the police cars in the area. But OK. Parked near the Old Ebbitt Grill, which contrary to reports is still open. As we got two blocks from St Johns Episcopal Church, yikes. A phalanx of bike police in formation waiting. Some dude in an ill fitting bikini on a segue taunting the police. And barricades with protesters blocking H Street in front of the Church. The wife and I decided it would be better to be elsewhere fast. Which was good because 5-10 minutes after we left, that phalanx went in a dispersed the protestors.
And then last night the protestors tried to create the BHAZ (Black House Autonomous Zone) and attacked Pres. Andrew Jackson's statue in Lafayette park.

DC protesters try tearing down Andrew Jackson statue at Lafayette Park, set up 'BHAZ' near White House
Protesters on Monday tried toppling a statue of Andrew Jackson near the White House, while sealing off an area in an act of defiance similar to events in Seattle by declaring off-limits an area dubbed the "Black House Autonomous Zone," or "BHAZ."
