From what I observed in the live streams and anecdotal accounts of residents, there was community support for and appreciation of the participants. You can see throughout the live streams, a healthy number of elder participants, in their fanny packs and holding hands. It was pretty adorable and heart warming. Of course there were isolated incidents of troublemakers and provocateurs in general. It's unfortunate that it seems property is valued over people by leadership in this town. Nonetheless, this was a heart warming and uplifting example of solidarity in action.
