Now in this restaurant for days before, up until then, people are sitting in the restaurant, black and white, no arguments, no fights. CorrectEyewitness Thats absolutely correct. Yeah, but it wasnt just that. Outside the restaurant too, where the shops and stuff were. Charles Patrick Okay, so all over town. Eyewitness Yeah, from what I could see in my line of sight, I cant speak for the rest of the county, butCharles Patrick Did you see black and white people fighting every dayEyewitness There was no fighting. There wasnt even raised voices. There were people having, they were laughing and joking. There were some tables where you could tell that they were having some serious discussions, but no one got out of character. Okay, so we get there at about 1. I dont think she even got her name out, but it was the same waitress we had all week. One of the guys that had been in and all around the town, or around the area of the restaurant, where we had been all week, he banged on, he was outside the restaurant, and he banged on the glass. And it was pretty loud, so everybody just stopped. And of course, everybody looked up and these buses started pulling up. Charles Patrick Okay so this guy who was banging on the glass, youve seen him before. CorrectEyewitness Oh yeah, I had seen him probably three of the six days three or four of the six days. Charles Patrick Why was he banging on the glassEyewitness Yeah, he banged on the window and cracked the door in and motioned like for all of us to look out, you know, pointed at the buses. I could see six of them, but the building cut off part of the road, which was across, not really a street because its a pedestrian only area, but it was on the other side of that, on the opposite side. Charles Patrick What color were these buses. Eyewitness They were like a dark charcoal gray. I didnt notice any writing, but you know there was some trees and people and stuff in between us and the buses so, I mean I didnt see any names, but I know they were all the same. Charles Patrick The buses were all the same. I know you told me earlier they were like back to back, like bumper to bumper. Eyewitness Yeah, bumper to bumper, like when school buses all follow each other to an out of town football game. You know, they followed each other like, so they dont change lanes, they were going bumper to bumper. Charles Patrick I understand what youre saying. They were together. Eyewitness Yes, so they pull up and my first thought is its a tour because I had been finding out about the history of the town and thought its a pretty interesting town. You know, theres some rich culture here. Maybe theres, I dont know, a tour going on. You know, like old people go to Vegas together, you know. Charles Patrick So, its a tourist town. So when you seen the buses, it was like a tourist busEyewitness Yeah, thats what I thought, it was like a charter bus. You know, the University of Virginia is here too so, it could have been for anything. So, everybody in the restaurant, I mean you could hear a cricket, everybody was just looking. So you could tell that the town, the locals were not used to seeing something like that. And I mean within, I want to say 1. I dont care what anybody says and I dont care if anybody believes me, but these people came off that bus ready to, I dont know work, ready to fight. They had on helmets. They had on kneepads and elbow pads and face guards and mouthpieces and purses and bags and backpacks full of things, carryingCharles Patrick Hold on. Were these all white people getting off the busEyewitness No, no, no, no. There were just as many black people as there were white people getting off the same buses. There were just as many women as there were men. Charles Patrick So, white people, black people, men and women got off the bus, is what youre telling me. RightEyewitness Got off the SAME bus. I even saw some people carrying, you know those shields that police men use for riots that you see on videos and stuff, there were people carrying those off the bus. Charles Patrick ReallyEyewitness Yes. Charles Patrick Now, these black and white people that got off the bus. Are these the ones that had on T shirtsEyewitness There was T shirts. There was emblems. Now I dont recognize all the different groups that are out there. The ones that I know of are BLM, Black Lives Matter, the KKK. Charles Patrick Now, youve seen these emblems, is what youre sayingEyewitness Yeah, I did and not just one or two. Everybody on those buses that came off those buses had something on there that caught my attention. Oh my God, thats the KKK. Oh my God, thats the BLM. Charles Patrick Wait a minute. Youre telling me that Black Lives Matter and the KKK got off the same damn bus. Eyewitness Yeah, but wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think I might have left something out. Those people I was talking about who were having those civilized conversations in the restaurant and in the town, they were also BLM.
