A moving act of solidarity as veterans burn their uniforms at a vigil for Aaron Bushnell hosted by veterans against war. This was after some extremely moving speeches, including a Vietnam War veteran who was a part of the SDS and did a lot of anti-war organizing. pic.twitter.com/9iJzeDAk2a

I just want people to know that there's an ongoing vigil at the spot where Aaron Bushnell died. People have been coming by on their own to leave flowers. There are candles available for anyone who wants to light one. pic.twitter.com/NlbCe6g1BA
