#staging Pattison staging has moved to Navy Yard. Same vehicle/OEM trailer mix. It is now located at the intersection of League Island Boulevard and Admiral Peary way. This is immediately adjacent not only to federal property but to military property on which trespassing carries severe legal penalties. It is on the landing flight path to PHL, so drones are illegal in the area due to low flying civilian passenger aircraft. They could be exiting out of either 26th or Broad. They could also unlock the Southport gate and exit out Kitty Hawk to connect with Delaware Ave/Columbus Blvd. Easy access to 76 to respond to protests city-wide.
#ground Black truck with numerous right wing flags spotted going west on Walnut in West Philly "not a sane number of flags"
