Protest Recap
Sunday
Aug 29
An invigorating day - the march was pretty impressive.
At least 200,000 people; a good representation of young and
old. People were in a good protesting
mood and the police were very reasonable and not at all combative -- a
completely different atmosphere
than in Miami. The one sizable incident (dragon catching fire)
was
handled very well and didn't change the energy of the day. Not
a lot of people wearing Kerry shirts or waving Kerry banners, but not
too
many people bashing him either. Of interest were the large
number of so-called "radical" groups present - in particular, the
Spartacist
League had a large presence. The overriding
theme of the
day was
definitely anti-Bush and anti-war. |
