One thing that's not being played up is that there will be a really big concert on the mall later that afternoon. Some really big names. I've been hearing that between 700,000 and 900,000 are expected. This extimate was made from the hotel room reservations and the day tripper buses.
Good News! If I were a New Orleans evacuee I think I would hop on the bus.
At least in DC they will have all the National Guardsman at the ready!
I hope these anti-war activists all bring their video cameras for their own protection.
The nastiness coming out of the SS and the National Park cops around the White House went through the roof this weekend. You couldn't even walk through the park on the north side of the White House without getting assholed. I ride my bike through the gates on the White House mall every night after work. I come home that way. I used to stop and talk to the guards and ask them what was happening. They would usually tell me, or at least tell me that "some dignitary" was coming in, or give me as much info as they could in some other way. Lately they've been asking me why they see me so often. What's my purpose there, etc. They have a new bunch of cops who arn't nearly so professional as the old SS guys. I think they are newbies in for the rally and they are getting broken in this week.
Takes tons of pics, cm. Cops despise being cought on film (well, digital camera now). It sounds like they're gearing up for a police riot, circa 1968, Chicago.
Prehaps they just "know" one will happen? I have come to believe that agents provocatur are routinely deployed these events that have the potential to embarrass the gov. Would you put it past Karl Rove??
