August 26: Black Lives Matter banners now hang from street signs around the plaza.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Spiders: The system has identified your IP as being a spider. I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, a number of options like merges are being blocked for you. Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm excited for your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me. If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

1. FLOYDW_200708_018.JPG: Yes, you can report in short pants.
2. FLOYDW_200708_048.JPG: Voice of America doing her own recording as well.
3. FLOYDW_200708_073.JPG: Earl's First Amendment Grill [This used to be in front of St. John's but was moved here when everyone was thrown out of there.]
4. FLOYDW_200708_085.JPG: Free snacks and such
5. FLOYDW_200708_108.JPG: M Due to First Amendment demonstration activity, buses
6. FLOYDW_200708_113.JPG: to Federal Triangle detour on K St NW at 16th St resuming

8. FLOYDW_200713_17.JPG: Totally empty street.
9. FLOYDW_200713_36.JPG: Still plenty of free water.
10. FLOYDW_200713_40.JPG: Black Street Vendors Matter
11. FLOYDW_200720_18.JPG: Notice the yellow letters on the pavement have become very dull. The larger BLACK LIVES MATTER letters held up better than the DEFUND THE POLICE portion. The former would be redone a few weeks later and the latter would be painted over.
12. FLOYDW_200802_001.JPG: Vote Trump Out Nov. 3rd
13. FLOYDW_200802_009.JPG: The riot fencing around Lafayette Park was partly reopened as was the Pennsylvania Avenue street by 15th Street (which had been closed for construction since before the crisis).
14. FLOYDW_200802_022.JPG: Crazy Muslim guy yelling at crazy Christian guy
15. FLOYDW_200802_027.JPG: The BLACK LIVES MATTER letters on the street had been redone.
16. FLOYDW_200802_079.JPG: The DEFUND THE POLICE names were degrading.
17. FLOYDW_200802_088.JPG: Justice for the millions of Congolese killed! D.R. Congo Justice for the +8,000,000 Congolese killed systematically! @MappingReport needs to be implemented
18. FLOYDW_200802_091.JPG: Compare the worn out DEFUND THE POLICE with the redone BLACK LIVES MATTER
19. FLOYDW_200817_01.JPG: They painted over the "Defund the Police" part of the piece. That hadn't been done by the city.
20. FLOYDW_200826_08.JPG: Biden has to earn my vote

23. FLOYDW_200828_10.JPG: There was a small group of people talking religion. They were part of the Walk the Walk 2020 group that had walked maybe 150 miles from Charlottesville to get there. Their website ( https://walkthewalk2020.us/ ) mentions that they planned on their rally at Lafayette Park to run from 10am-11am -- I guess they weren't planning to do the main rally (11am - 1pm) at all.
24. FLOYDW_200829_10.JPG: Your vote is the only antidote!
25. FLOYDW_200829_16.JPG: I couldn't understand why the shellfish was in the scene as his ear. Then you got in close and saw it was a snake's open mouth.

34. FLOYDW_200930_30.JPG: Benny Johnson (journalist) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Benny Arthur Johnson (born May 27, 1987) is an American political columnist, currently serving as chief creative officer at conservative nonprofit Turning Point USA. Johnson first rose to prominence as an editor at BuzzFeed, until it was revealed that many of his published articles were plagiarized and he was fired. Early life and education Johnson grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and attended the University of Iowa. He graduated magna cum laude with a degree in organic chemistry and developmental psychology in 2009. Career In 2010, Johnson began contributing opinion pieces to the opinion website Breitbart. In 2011 he was hired as a full-time worker for Glenn Beck's The Blaze, a conservative media website. In 2012, Johnson became an editor at BuzzFeed. In July 2014, BuzzFeed found 41 instances of plagiarism in Johnson's writings, comprising almost ten percent of his work. He was subsequently fired from BuzzFeed and apologized for the plagiarism. A few weeks later, he became digital director at National Review Online. In 2015, a few months after he was hired by National Review, he joined the Independent Journal Review (IJR) as the creative content director. Later that year, IJR staffers accused Johnson of plagiarizing an article about then-House Republican Conference chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers. In 2017, Johnson was suspended by the IJR after Johnson's involvement in an article which asserted that Judge Derrick Watson's partial blocking of Executive Order 13780 was connected to former President Barack Obama's visit to Hawaii. Johnson had been warned that the IJR could potentially be promoting a conspiracy theory, but assigned the story anyway. Later that year, Johnson was demoted for violating IJR's company ethics; Business Insider reported that Johnson had been verbally abusive and driven numerous staffers away from the IJR due to his management style. Johnson and Independent Journal Review's relationship was terminated in October 2017. Johnson joined The Daily Caller in November 2017.
