Sept 15 Anti-War March: Capitol Hill Arrests

Civil Disobedience arrests at the September 15th March to Stop The War from the Whitehouse to the Capitol Building.

Music: M.I.A. - "Paper Planes"

I had the pleasure of attending the September 15th war protest in Washington, D.C. This event is supposed to represent a turning point in the anti-war movement, one where we take our level of protest from marches to direct, nonviolent acts to let our elected officials know that we demand change.

Following a mass die-in in front of the Capitol building, Iraq War veterans, students, parents, grandparents, and other concerned citizens intentionally crossed the police barriers in front of the Capitol in an act of civil disobedience to show Bush, Cheney, Hillary, Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest that we mean buisiness.

197 courageous individuals were arrested in total. This event is hoped to be a catalyst for similar acts throughout the nation.

I love how they say Fed-up Americans broke through the barricades, correction: Fed-up hippies broke through the barricades. and they are nowhere quallified to be a true american. And to comment further, how liberals use their emmotions rather then their brains (needless suffering and death of iraqis) just to remind u they are the same fucks that killed thousands on 911. but that doesnt matter because we are still trying to figure out if it was a fucking plane or not. haha life, or is it insanity

I hope your not in the Marines because they are really letting some dumb ones through the cracks. None of the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqi (they were Saudis and Egyptians, two countries we consider our allies). I swear, this country is going straight to hell.
