This was also 12 days after the installation of "King" Trump.</p><p>Abortion rights activists managed to enter the march, then take over the lead. The offical lead banner crew kept slowing down or stopping to open a gap, but abortion rights supporters were wise to this old countermove. At one point they reversed the roles, stopping and forcing the entire march to file past them.</p><p>At the park rally, abortion rights supporters actually HAD THEIR OWN TABLE, and advanced towards the rally from that position. This diverted some of the rally participants to forming a front line at the back of their rally. </p><p>While some verbal sparks flew, punches never did. Things stayed entirely peaceful. At no point did the police threaten either side either.</p>
