What's new? Same as the NATO march in Chicago 2 years ago. Retirees and students surrounded

[Peregrine Took]

by thousands of ninja turtle clad police cheek to jowl - city and state.

It must have cost millions in overtime to protect the city from a bunch of grannies and peace loving students.
No violence at all nor even the threat of it.

Was a terrifically hot day and we all went into the one conveneince store that was open on the route, lining up getting our bottles of water which we then shared with our fellow marchers.

2. It was the same at the RNC in2008

and at Occupy and at any number of protests. The only thing new is that the media is finally paying attention.
