Tsunami hit Washing D.C. this afternoon!
Sept. 20, 2010
ADAPTers marched to the White House this morning; when we arrived, the police did not allow us to walk along the fence. The police blocked us with a van and announced that only 25 people were allowed in a group; if there were more than 25 people, a permit is required.
So, brilliant ADAPTers had plan B: 150 people were sent to the intersection of the 15th and G street; we blocked all three sides of the intersection while the other 150 ADAPTers stayed outside of the Treasury Department next to the White House. While blocking the intersection, everyone signed the letter to President Obama, we waited for a while and see if any one would come out from the White House and talk to us, but they didn't. The cops had surrounded the area with security tape, they thought that they had control of the situation, but ADAPT gave them a surprise!
Shortly after lunch at the intersection, signals were given to burst through the tape; ADAPTers ran or rolled like a thunder storm on Pennsylvania Avenue to the three gates of the White House. This video shows the tsunami of people running from the intersection to the White House.
I mainly saw fat people in Hover Rounds...Just cause you are fat doesn't mean you're disabled! My grandmother has advanced diabetes and she is pretty large but you don't see her in a hover round
