Just got home from the march/rally
1) There were HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of thousands of people. FUCK THE MEDIA

2) The cops were GREAT -- some even "boo"ed with us when we passed hotels with "Welcome RNC" signs.

3) The marchers were peaceful, friendly and high-energy.

4) It was HOT!!! One of my friends almost melted.

5) There was a handful of freepers, the most loathsome being the man who had a sign that read "Love Jesus, Vote Bush" and had silouhettes of bombs, planes, missles etc under the words. DISGUSTING!!

6) I'm EXHAUSTED! Good night

5. We had a viedo camera with us, and might be able to capture a still
But we were pretty busy screaming "WHO WOULD JESUS BOMB?!" at him and might not have filmed it!!

I'll post it if I have it
