Wouldn't be the first time. Usually there is police presence at marching events, plus the mayor was in the vicinity.

Fulop fundraiser gets a dose of 'hands up' | Political Insider By In Jersey City there was a political fundraiser Thursday evening, the beginning of an emotional night for everyone. Let's not compete with social media fury but rather try to get to what you usually read here on Saturday mornings with that cup of coffee – mostly local politics with a smidgen of the broader state variety. It was still part of a hot and muggy streak two nights ago, but the weather cooled just a tad in the early evening enough for people to gather in the Downtown outdoor beer garden of Zeppelin Hall where Mayor Steve Fulop held one of his $20-a-ticket events. If you are planning to run for governor, it is obviously better to hold four- and five-figure per ticket fundraisers. The psychology for these affordable gatherings, a staple of those old City Council campaigning days, is that Jersey City backers feel they are at the home-base of a statewide campaign and, once the donation is paid, they have a rooting interest and skin in a very winnable game.

And even better... the peace demonstrators just happened to end up @ Zeppelin Hall with a police escort? Light Rail must have been crowded.

Jennifer Morrill 'didn't know' if the mayor was at Zeppelin Hall?

Jersey City anti-violence demonstrators thrown off private Downtown street
By Michaelangelo Conte | The Jersey Journal Follow on Twitter on July 08, 2016 at 5:08 PM, updated July 08, 2016 at 6:18 PM Jersey City residents demonstrating against the recent shootings of two black men by police officers, marched from Greenville to Downtown Thursday night to show the city is not divided by "have's" and "have-nots," but were thrown off a private street outside a fundraiser for Mayor Steve Fulop. "I wanted to bring Downtown into solidarity with us," said Pamela Johnson, executive director of the Jersey City Anti-Violence Coalition Movement. "So often it's a tale of two cities. We want people to know we are one community." Johnson said she did not know a Fulop event was being held at Zeppelin Hall on Liberty View Drive when about 20 people began the march at the Hub on Martin Luther King Drive. By the time they arrived at the bar and restaurant, their ranks had risen to about 75 people. "A police officer told us that the street itself was private property and we had to move and if we didn't move, we would be arrested," Johnson said. "I told him I didn't know if that was true, but because I was a law-abiding citizen, I told the people to move and we moved. We marched to City Hall." More
