to be fair the second photo doesn’t seem to be of a protest, unless it’s the military having a sit down protest over poorly fitting uniforms </attempt_at_humor>
I ‘heard’ they closed many of the shops downtown, so some big groups are at least shoppers hanging around.
though I guess the guys with banners, flags, and fists in the first photo aren’t just annoyed about the abrupt change in shop opening hours </another>
