My camera batteries were dead. :(

It was lots of fun though. Very festive. And the klan bailed after less than a half hour. *snort* Cowards.

Stevious posted some pics from the rally here though:

5. I love that they actually call the klan a hate group in the article
About 3,000 counter demonstrators were drawn to oppose the hate group at City Hall.


Heck and even the local rag AAS which always lies about turnout on our side to pegged the turnout at 3,000.

Thousands protest Klan rally
Ten men and four women calling themselves members of the American White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan gathered at City Hall plaza Saturday for a brief and hugely contested rally against gay marriage.

The Klan group, whose members said they were from San Angelo in West Texas, was opposed by what police estimated to be 3,000 demonstrators. About 200 Austin police officers in riot gear allowed them no closer than 50 yards from the Klan at the plaza on Cesar Chavez Street.


Way to go Austin! Wish I could have been here. I was with you in spirit though.
