I haven't tracked it as closely as you have, but. But certainly when it came on my radar was, I believe, around Monday evening, if that's what you recall. And When [ICE agents] came and started to interact with the protesters, which is something that we tracked and we're watching very closely, and it seemed to be escalating to the point where we were seeing batons used and Other things that were not in line with how we felt was appropriate for at that time, the crowd control.
