What is up with these people.
DC Anarchist Resistance

Four years ago anarchists marched on the Inauguration, hundreds strong. The police set up check points forcing thousands to adhere to bag and body searches, in response - we smashed a secret service check point, opening up the parade route for all. While some waved the American flag, we burned it. While some booed, we pelted the motorcade with trash. Bush was crowned, but the black flag was hoisted high on that cold January day. In the four years that have passed, the country has grown afraid and the Left docile. As we have always known, it’s not just Bush - it’s the system, and his campaign of fear makes us more fearless everyday.

Whinners are on C-SPAN complaining about their sorry life….I think I saw them on weresorry com
