RNC Pics

Finally, as promised,some pics from the RNC.

So, how was it? The cops were fascist bastards, except for the ones who weren’t. The demos and marches where we were penned in like animals kinda sucked. The ones where there was room to breathe and move around, the ones without the cattle pens, were good.

Overall, the tactics of the police and the Bloomberg administration were chilling. They were designed to minimize the expression of free speech, and they worked. Despite the heavy handed tactics, half a million or more people came out throughout the week to show their discontent with the current administration’s policies and join with like minded others to voice their feelings.

It was great.

Thanks to Chris for taking and providing the pics and the captions. My plan for a digital camera fizzled out just like my plan to have a usable notebook to blog with. Oh well.
