Phoenix:
After a rally, the unpermitted march route, known to police, was spontaneously
altered by pagans and anarchists at the front of the group. Crowd estimates
range from 2,500 - 3,500. The crowd played cat and mouse with the police,
taking the streets for a total of three and a half hours. The march proved
nearly impossible
to control, as police attempts to direct were plowed through by anarchists
with linked arms. Several hundred continued to reclaim the streets, playing
music, dancing,
and chanting "No war on Iraq! Party in the streets!" Police
made six arrests, demonstrators were cited and released on misdemeanor
charges of obstructing traffic. In the course of a small
counter-demonstration,
one peace activist learned that fear
is a great motivating factor in the support for war.
