Postcards from the Protest

It was mostly peaceful. Seven people got arrested, including a septuagenarian surgeon.

This lady belted out gospel songs about the Iraq war:

These guys were ready to rumble. No rumbling was required:

These kids briefly blocked an intersection, then surrounded a police car, but were charged by cops on horses. They regrouped and kept shouting: “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re anarchists, we’ll fuck shit up.”

One of the group, a feisty lesbian, charged one of of the Phelps “God-hates-fags” people. (They were there claiming “McCain loves fags.”) The cops broke it up, and the feisty lesbian shouted, “I’m staying right here and when this is over, I’m going to kick your ass.” I didn’t stick around to see if she was as good as her word.

(Mostly, it was really fucking hot. Just after taking this picture, I saw Savage strolling out of a restaurant. I was gross—sunburned, sweaty, and hungry. He looked cool, calm, and fed. Someday I’ll get my shit together and get with the teevee people.)
