We next went to the site where the fence had been breached on Friday night, before our arrival. I actually was hit by a rubber bullet at this point. After being hit I retreated to the nearby park and took my goggles off and lay down on the grass, right as an all- out mortar attack was launched. Without my goggles I was quickly blinded and began to suffocate. I held on to another member of my group as we left the area.
Mortars are pretty scary.
We did not see much more action during the day. I had expended all my energy after being hit and gassed, and was not feeling up to more gassing and shooting. We ate some food and made our way to a big rally under a cloverleaf overpass, where thousands of people were beating on highway guide rails, street signs, and other things with sticks and rocks as well as lighting a big bonfire. Eventually we ended up wandering around the perimeter, looking for something interesting going on, but nothing strategically feasible seemed to be happening, so we went to our lodgings and got some sleep. I was not there, but saw a video recording of it the next day.
