To: FoxPro Thought you may be interested in amother account you won't get from MSM. Just got back from the March. Lots of people marching but lots of people protesting as well. I understand there were a couple of arrests, but not in the area I was standing. This is pretty remarkable because there were two highly militant groups trying to provoke the protesters. The Radical Cheerleaders and the Female Skinheads, along with their cohorts, were flashing the protesters (and I don't mean their breasts), swearing at them, charging them, engaging in sex acts, etc. All with black hoods and bandanas on (ironically, they were marching under an anti-discrimination banner). The entire group of over 100 protesters on my corner never flinched and never reacted.
Also, as I'm sure this will not be on the MSM either, all the "celebrities" that were "marching" actually were not. We were stationed on a corner where the "beautiful" people were going to turn from the rest of the march, to proceed to the stage. Imagine our surprise when they not only didn't turn they DROVE by on 2 buses. That's right folks. After the photo ops, the celebs boarded a bus and rode the parade route. A small number did walk down at the turn, but mainly "honored guests" (guess they didn't fit on the bus).
One more thing. One woman came running up to us from the march and wanted one of our signs. She was in tears, and admitted she could no longer march with the rest after witnessing the protests. She stood with us on the corner for the rest of the march. That took a tremendous amount of courage, and gave us a valuable lesson.
