There are reports of blockades all over DC
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 12:16 PM by proud2Blib
We are sitting in a park at 15th & K. We hear of massive blockades and we can see cops everywhere. Anything on MSM?

In the subway on the way here some woman was complaining about the protesters all over DC today. She said it was a great inconvenience. Too bad she didn't realize the real inconvenience is down the street in the White House.

'inconvenience'?

10. "She said it was a great inconvenience."
I'm so sorry that trying to save the country from the grips of NeoFascism is such an inconvenience to her.

15. Faux Snooze...
An AP feed, no time stamp. <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,339171,00.html>

WASHINGTON — Police arrested more than 30 people who crossed a barricade and blocked entrances at the Internal Revenue Service building Wednesday morning, the start of a day of protests nationwide that mark five years since the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

A marching band led protesters down the street near the National Mall and around the IRS building before about 100 gathered at the main entrance. As police began the arrests, some protesters shouted "This is a Crime Scene" and "You're Arresting the Wrong People."
