Can you possibly imagine a "March on Washington for Peace"

[1-Old-Man]

Can you imagine a 'march on Washington' that did not get a permit to take place first? If the answer is no do you see any problem with that?

4. Yes, and I can also imagine the National Capital Park Police and colleagues descending on us

with their horses and all kinds of military paraphernalia and bashing the crap out of everyone and hauling us all off to jail on terrorism charges. (This is without a permit)

I currently live right outside DC, and have taken part in many antiwar marches since 1969, not to mention marches for women's rights and jobs.

The last time I took part in a peaceful march, against the Iraq war, the DC cops broke marchers up into smaller groups and herded some of us us onto side streets that were traps, with riot police and motorcycle police blocking anyone from escaping. We were held there for a couple of hours, and I swear the cops were drooling to attack. A journalist came by and started asking the head cop intense questions about what was going on. It was only because there was a witness, a member of the media present, that they very reluctantly called off their bashfest and let us leave.

5. Yeah, I've been in several.

But that was a different time and a different situation. (Reminiscing about walls of riot police and clouds of tear gas )

Why don't you go to the source for this one and try it in Damascus?
