Scary report from Will Pitt

The push

Thursday 20 January 2005 @ 02:19
I got an unconfirmed report that protesters are going to try and rush the inauguration down at 14th and D. I am too far away to get there, but when I hear something, I will let you know.

Given all the heavily armed cops here, rushing the inauguration sounds like a good way to get your ass shot off. We'll see.

1. Lets hope they don't do anything too crazy...

I know they are fucking over the protesters but this is not worth getting shot over

5. Won't happen

I'm sure Will is being closely monitored and that particular location is now heavily fortified with riot police.

6. Oh please I don't want

my brothers and sisters against bush harmed or killed.

7. Oh shit...

I'm watching TV and waiting for the moment when dickweed's limo gets close to the area where the protesters are - on pins and needles, now.:(

9. Probably planted information by republican operatives...

11. Sure sounds like it. Many of them are employed as agent provocateurs

hopefully the real protesters there have been educated about their tactics.

12. shades of protesting Nixon

and yes all or nearly all protest groups were infiltrated with spies and trouble makers. The idea was probably to provoke the protester to get violent so that they could be locked up.

Remember that the GOPigs are NOT creative -- they will keep on doing the same thing.

When the GOPigs are in control -- PEACE is a dirty word.

10. Is 14th and D near the answer protest?

13. I was just about to post this...

I wish this wasn't such a dangerous thing to do. They're going to do what they're going to do, but I hope they don't get hurt. :( wishful thinking.

14. There are so many Police down there!!! But would they really

protect Bush!!! ...thats the question!!!

[theboss]

15. Yep

The odd thing I always find about protests in DC is how it is a largely, possibly majority black police force facing off with majority white protestors. It's a pretty amazing image.

[cry baby]

16. kick for a great ongoing story from DC

17. Indymedia DC:

"2:33PM: Flags being burned at 14th and Penn. Some callers report there has been a fight of some sort between anarchists burning a flag and a Bush-supporter trying to take the flag from them."
