These photos are nice and thank you for publishing them. They however do not show the carnage that later ensued for well over an hour as paid/funded oppositional protesters infiltrated and barraged us with hate. Flying Israeli and Iranian flags, banners with Trump and authoritarian figures who presumably will be next in line for power in Iran, there were 1000% paid or well funded oppositional agitators protesting for Trump and Netanyahu at this event. They not only invaded the peaceful protest but continued to follow and agitate the protesters. Not only agitate but physically assaulted protesters. Not only did they assault American protesters but if they saw Iranians or non-Americans protesting against the war/current MAGA fascist regime they would attack them like pitbulls verbally and physically. They harassed grannies and threw flag poles and punched people with drumsticks as one played the drum throughout the crowd assaulting people the whole duration. I have plenty of video of all of this. While photos of a seemingly peaceful protest are nice I do question why the part I mention is completely omitted from this article. Protesters were attacked at this protest. By well funded outside agitators. Report on everything please.
