Had to reuse a lot of clothes.

Ideal, but it was a crazy time.

But that's just how quick news happens.

And really surprisingly, how I was amazed at how quick they were able to get protesters out there.

The shooting happened on a Wednesday.

And by Wednesday night, you know, I'm at the scene of the shooting.

And so are the first couple protesters there.

And a few of them had told me they had just flown in, kind of similar to me.

Other ones were native to Minneapolis, but they told me that more were on the way.

Yes.

And so immediately Thursday morning, 7 a.m., they all come swarming out there.

Also, we have these massive crowds and I'm like, all right, let's go.

Like, this is what we were hearing, what we were talking about.

And that's when I realized they kind of work in shifts.

And so those ones that came out were the ones who were before work.

And so, and you eventually over the week, you kind of get desensitized to it because you're like, wait, okay, it's a Thursday at two o'clock.

I know why I'm out on the street, but why are these other, you know, thousands of people, like, don't you have jobs?

And so first shift in the morning, do it before work.

And then, you know, the next shift kind of comes out around noon, whatever.

And so these protesters, they kind of keep the momentum going by just sending out groups of different people.
