What do people think of us?
I've been going to streetcorner peace vigils for the past year, and it's a great way to know what people think of Bush. Theres always hundreds of supportive honks, and only a handful of opposing voices.
They said there were 20,000 people at the demo today, but, it felt a lot larger. The march was better organized than the last one. It started on time, and the energy level was high. My only complaint was that loop at the end that seemed to sap the energy from a lot of marchers. It would have been better to get to the rally with a lot of energy, so people would be able to go home feeling amped.
I heard that the cops went after a kid who they thought was writing on the street, but it seems like he wasn't. They also arrested at least three kids doing the black bloc. It seems like the BB is a good way to get busted for little reason.
