I just spoke to Estimated Prophet and MrScorpio - they
were in the A.n.s.w.e.r. coalition group. They said there were several thousand protesters in that area alone. Both are fine and resting comfortably in a bar somewhere. MrScorpio says he has lots of pics to post tomorrow and both of them will post detailed posts when they return.

Also, if you didn't see it in the other thread - Kleeb is fine, too. None of them were near the pepper spray incident.

How about LynneSin - has anyone heard from her? I don't know of anyone else who was going.

1. Heh. I bet THIS thread won't be copied at the "other" site, either
Too much bad news... for them. DUers protesting and getting back unharmed. Take that, idiots.

4. Hell...
They are all at the big Gala tonight. Boots are shined, their dates were deloused, children all locked in the closets and well-spanked. It is going to be a yeee haaaw, shit-kicking good time.
They won't read the forums tonight.

2. Where were those "other" people today?
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 06:34 PM by MrMonk
Did they manage to fit all of their porta-potties into their "safety zones"?

3. What other people? I don't know about porta-potties, but
apparently ANSWER wasn't allowed to even have a transparent warming tent in their designated area. The reason: It might give off a reflection and distract the secret service.

5. that neocon blonde on MSNBC kept saying there were
only about 1500 protestors, but right after that they were talking to a some reporter that was around where the protestors were getting pepper sprayed and he said hundreds of thousands protestors. So which is it? I'll bet the hundreds of thousands

6. 1500 protesters make one hellavu lot of noise - it you watched
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 06:46 PM by JimmyJazz
it on CSpan with no commentary - it was amazing. I would say half the people there were protesting. But, on other stations, the pundits were talking and the sound was down, so it was very deceptive.

MrScorpio said protesters were lined up on BOTH sides of the street. I can't wait to hear his detailed report and to see his pictures - this thread was more to let others know that people we know are safe.

8. the sound was awesome on CSpan... like thousands of toutured souls
wailing from the bowels of hell. Great echo effect. You're right, nobody else had clear sound like that and it was deceptive.

10. i was phone freeped last night by some asshole linking me to
Kleeb, Verizon wants to know if I want to file a complaint. The freep did talk about looking for and trying to "connvert Kleeb" Verizon said it's threatening enough, hmmm.
