I’m told that last week the Park Police backed by the FBI raided this street party and shut it down at ten. This week the National Guard were giving the girls a spin. I asked the boys if they had anything like it in South Carolina. “No, sir,” they laughed.
Tonight I did find ICE and the FBI staging up for a raid, which they then went off on accompanied by DC cops. No idea what the target was.
There was a lot of cop activity, but they seemed to be protecting the late night crowds at the clubs. I didn’t see any harassment.
The crowds are thick in places. The bouncer at the Camelot “gentleman’s club” offered to let me in with no cover charge, for which I thanked him but passed by. The bouncer at a bar called Recessions stopped me to compliment my beard and discuss beard care for a while.
It’s definitely been an interesting trip. I’m out of here on a dawn flight, and should be back in my mountains before noon.
