“Dear PoPville,

Yesterday around 6:30, my family (including my teenage daughter) were in front of St John’s, on 16th. First, my husband felt something burning in his eye. Both my daughter and I started to feel burning in our eyes and throats. Several around us felt the same. My husband was texting with a friend in a different area who reported the same, as well. We are certain it was pepper or similar irritant. WaPo says that as the 7 pm curfew passed, authorities took no action. They also noted that families dispersed. I suspect families dispersed, like we did, because of the pepper, and to keep our child safe. I haven’t seen anything about this reported. Have you received similar reports?”

2. Please continue to wear your masks as uncomfortable as that may be. Seriously.

3. Keep fighting the good fight, history is on your side.
