In summary: there was a protest, they did it in a different place than planned, marched around some, talked about their concerns with UVA but also police generally, and then everyone left. No apparent arrests or other issues, although there were some tense moments near Rotundaby amaxsmith via twitter 8/12/2018 12:27:17 AM
