Tiny gives a speech to his crew. There’s maybe 20 of them.
Today's events drew a far smaller crowd than last year's dueling protests—which came just days after two men were fatally stabbed on the MAX. But, like last year's protest, police officers showed up to the event in head-to-toe riot gear.
Mercury reporter Kelly Kenoyer documented the afternoon clash from the ground. According to her observations, both groups carried their own pepper spray and used it liberally on one another. Activists spent most of the rally provoking each other with taunts and getting tangled up in brief physical fights.
According to ACLU observers, four people were arrested—two from each side of the protest. PPB spokesperson Chris Burley confirmed this number in a press release sent this evening. Jonathan D. Feit, 36, and Andrew Arbow, 32, were both charged with disorderly conduct. Gregory Isascson, 43, was briefly detained by Federal Protective Service officers for failing to comply with a lawful order. And the fourth suspect arrested has refused to give his name to PPB.
The dueling protests eventually fizzled out on the waterfront, with members of both groups throwing rocks and yelling racist, homophobic, and sexist slurs at one another.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, in one of the most closely watched cases of the term.
In a 7-2 decision, the justices set aside a Colorado court ruling against the baker -- while stopping short of deciding the broader issue of whether a business can refuse to serve gay and lesbian people. The opinion was penned by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is often the swing justice in tight cases.
The narrow ruling here focused on what the court described as anti-religious bias on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against baker Jack Phillips.
"The Commission’s hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion," Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion.

To many, that isn't surprising. On the face of it, homosexual behaviour by animals looks like a really bad idea. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection implies that genes have to get themselves passed on to the next generation, or they will die out. Any genes that make an animal more likely to engage in same-sex matings would be less likely to get passed on than genes pushing for heterosexual pairings, so homosexuality ought to quickly die out.
But that evidently isn't what's happening. For some animals, homosexual behaviour isn't an occasional event – which we might put down to simple mistakes – but a regular thing.

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" end of story, it's their business . . . and others have the right to boycott . . . like all those hundred of nutters boycotting Netflicks for doing something not nutter approved. How open and inclusive of them . . . talk about stuck in a bubble! If you don't like it don't watch it . . . and that's what ABC was afraid of, lose millions of viewers for the sake of a couple hundred thousand nutters or just cancel Roseanne (that's the market sorting things out for ya!).
