evidence: However, a live stream from the front of the march shows that the first protesters walked through an intact gate that was being held open. Freelance photographer and University of Missouri journalism graduate student Daniel Shular told the BBC that the gate was unlocked when the first marchers entered. "People just walked up to it and opened the gate," he said, estimating he was the sixth person through. "It looked normal to me when I passed through." [...] A volley of shouts came back from the protesters, everything from pleas for calm to insults and expletives. "Why are you pointing that gun at us?" "We got kids out here!" "You're a coward!" "Nobody wants to hurt you." [...] The videos and photographs of the McCloskeys - a wealthy white couple pointing firearms from the front lawn of their palatial estate at protesters, including black and white activists - went viral instantly. But the incident also turned political just as quickly.
