Mike
Nice photos in your blog, they are as good as anything I got, if not better.
I was down their until about 8pm, went home to feed the dogs, and out to Avon Lake for
a project I have been working on, then back Downtown about 2:30am. I would have spent more
time but it was pretty quiet, and I had to be up by 7am.
I have added 73 photos, and your 39 make 111 photos from the first day of Protests.

Back to the Justice Center.
Protesters made their way back to the Justice Center.
When they shouted in a group of 8 for 30 minutes or more, "Fuck the Police."
Police patiently listen, and wait, but are ready.
Meanwhile the protesters returned from Cuddell and started marching to Jacob's Field as the game let out.

Nothing left at Justice Center but words, and...
Media with nothing to report for news! Here Suzanne Stratford from Fox 8 fills in her listeners.
Paul Orlousky of Chanel 19, waits to tell listeners violence has erupted at the Hairy Buffalo as patrons scuffle with protesters.
Protests empties out...
While this was going on Lakewood Police and Fire were on call. As often happens as in these episodes as one city's
services get used, they call on others. At one point at 11am Lakewood Fire was waiting for the call. While the
City of Cleveland was battling 4 fires, none related to protest, Lakewood was put on call. Luckily, they were not.
Here are some shots from the 4th fire at 92nd and Lorain.
These were taken at 2 am as the fire was finally being put out.
The idea works again! Isn't it time you became an Observer?
