Impromptu Protest Against Fascist Regime

I joined a demonstration under way which hopefully will take place once a week from now on.

Impromptu Protest Against Fascist Regime

While traveling through Glendora on my bicycle I went past a vivacious group of anti-fascism / anti-Bush regime demonstrators standing on a street corner. I went home, got my water canteen and camera, and then bicycled down to join them for an hour or so.

What was neat about the small demonstration was that the citizens of the city are almost all completely supportive of opposing this fascist regime and its crimes against humanity as well as the regime’s massive treason against America. To be sure there’s always a percentage of any population that will support, defend, and applaud fascist atrocities (we only saw two such individuals through the time I was there) but virtually everyone in the city is well aware of what Bush and his regime stands for.

If I’m not mistaken most of the activists were Green Party or in solidarity with Green Party candidates. Also this is the first time I’ve seen any active exhibition against fascism in this city so I was happy to see that I’m not the only one willing to exercise what’s left of the country’s freedom of speech rights while standing on street corners. I was assured that such demonstrations are planned to be fairly regular from now on.

It’s great having the occasional comic exhibition of a fascism-defending clown driving by in his huge white gas guzzling pickup truck plastered with “support our troops” yellow ribbon stickers and “George Bush!” bumper stickers. As I said, we only got two of them and the first one was screaming something about “He’s your President! You should” soothing or another. ‘Couldn’t tell what he was screaming because we call cheered him and gave him “peace signs” which appeared to anger the poor guy some.

My opinions only and only my opinions.

And loving it.
