People started to run, claiming there was an active shooter. THAT IS NOT CONFIRMED.

But cops did approach the crowd, saying there was man with a gun, dressed in all black and asking where he was.

Fire truck is present and cops started triggering their sirens.

The Cathedral Church of Saint Mark Episcopal rang its church bells as the swarm of protesters passed the brick building. The crowd reputed in cheers once the bells started.

Cars are honking, people are chanting and thousands (don’t know an exact estimate yet) are marching. The demonstrators are taking up the entire extra wide Utah roads.

Ok, demonstrators are starting to walk up 400S toward the federal building. People are chanting “Fu*ck Donald Trump” and “Fu*k Mike Lee” and “No ICE, no KKK, no fascist USA”

Johnson (who is a public defender) also promised to help defend protesters if the event they are arrested.

He encouraged everyone to not fight the cops if they are arrested.

People will be speaking for the next hour or so about why people are gathered today. It’s a laundry list of grievances with the Trump admin, including immigration policies, LGBTQ+ issues, the Israel/Palestinian conflict and the economy.

I’m back for the second “No Kings” protest at Pioneer Park. Massive crowd. Can’t see the speakers. Can’t see to the other side of the park.

The crowd will start marching toward the federal building in an hour.

Library square is jam packed. Well over a thousand people are gathered here. Speakers are explaining why they are here, including Trump’s immigration policies, his actions they believe to be an abuse of power and reiterate “there is no American king”
