The small group of TPUSA supporters that has been off to the side for quite some time, mostly undisturbed, has now drawn the ire of the protesters. No clue what, if anything, happened beforehand.

The protest is starting to thin out. The cops staged down the block are gone and the row in front of the protest remains—as do the two above on the walkway.

A counter-protester has appeared with a portable speaker playing Charlie Kirk clips. Right before I took this photo, a protester came up from behind me and kicked it over.

The scene down in the heart of the protest. The riot cops from earlier walked around and have been staged right in front of the protest and at least two officers patrol the overhead walkway with PepperBall launchers.

Some panic from the crowd that was away from the sidewalk and street that mistook this motorists backfiring for gunfire. The odor of burning rubber is overwhelming.

In a remarkably interesting move, the Eugene Police Department, in response to ACLU-Oregon's lawsuit against the city, has released a map of all the installed Flock cameras.
This is a major win for Eyes off Eugene.
