Update: 11:45 a.m. EST — Derrick Broze is LIVE AGAIN for The Mind Unleashed working his way through the crowds toward an InfoWars truck for an apparent speech by Alex Jones.
Broze expressed that the protests are very peaceful so far and he doesn’t expect any “violence or false flags” to occur. He added that there are drones surveying the area and police surrounding the outside of the protests where there are armed protesters and snipers on the roof. He may soon go back through security to get closer to the Virginia Capitol grounds where guns are not allowed during today’s lobby day rally.
According to reports on the ground, the permitted event inside the Capitol grounds will be ending at any moment. The event remains peaceful without any reports of violence. However, there was a report of a suspicious arrest of an individual who was detained on the roof of the Mutual Building on E. Main Street in Richmond according to a local news outlet Times-Dispatch.
The outlet reports that Chuck Potts, senior regional operations manager for Admiral Security Services, stated the man was unarmed.
Update: 11:30 a.m. EST — Derrick Broze just uploaded a video update for The Mind Unleashed to explain what’s happening right now in Richmond, Virginia!
