As long as you continue to think, and resist, then we cannot be defeated. To think freely is to be human, not a slave of the One World Government.

The government has new and improved fire power to go up against us. We are going to fall deeper into slavery. They will be able to fight all the wars they want to then bringing all of mankind under chains.

Excellent!
I was there and this was the most fair and responsible account of what happened.

Lovely video of what really was the major event of the day - not broken windows and rubber bullets but people of all ages coming together to remind America that this war is a tragedy that must end. We have no voice in the media - this video gives us a voice in the world. Thanks so much.

Why? Where have you been coolguy? Faux News helped to promote and sell this war to the American public more than any other "news" agency on the planet. It has long been suspected, and now verified by former Press Secretary Scott McClellan that Fox News used the talking points of the administration and was the news agency of choice by Bush and Cheney to "propagate the propaganda" (that's from Bush himself). Fox News is run by a billionaire and the former Press Secretary to Ronnie Reagan.

Probably the best and most representative video I've seen.
The truth is, there were something like 10,000 people of all ages who marched peacefully from 1-3 PM and had a wonderful time on a (mostly) lovely day (a little too hot and humid for this native MN'an).
A comparatively tiny group went looking for trouble and found it. They went off through downtown on their own around 4 PM and caused property damage. Frankly, they got exactly what they wanted, and I don't feel any sympathy for them.

There was not a single local news media that portrayed what really happened during this protest rally. There were 10,000 people involved in this peaceful demonstration with an extreme minority who resorted to violence.
This is an excellent overview of what really happened.

You are absolutely right. We never saw anything that even verged on the violent or destructive. Even the police seemed pretty laid back and friendly, smiling and saying "hi, how's it going?" as we went by. My feeling was that for some of them, if they didn't have to work, would have been marching along beside us. Unfortunately, peace isn't newsworthy, I guess.
