Things started out peacefully at the No Games protest

Again, Mr. Diaz, you post a photo that makes it seem that No Games Chicago was behind the later incident that was carried out by anarchists. The NEWS STORY makes clear that the peaceful, law-abiding protest and the anarchists' incident were two separate things. Your posts conflate the two events, which is lying.

Chris, thanks for your comments. As we learned from Mr. Wilson, accusing someone of lying is a pretty big charge. I should have been clearer, but I was not trying to miscontrue what happened there. I have posted an update on the story and will modify these captions and headlines to more accurately convey what transpired. Thanks again for reading and commenting.
