London Shows The Love....
Hesiod has pics of the London demonstration.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
looks like a great protest. im no judge of crowd size, but thats certainly more than 30,000. looks like pictures ive seen of some of the crowds topping 100,000 last february. the biggest protest i was at was 15,000, and that seemed huge (it was enough to shut down all 8 lanes of lake shore drive here in chicago) i cant imagine what 100-200,000 would be like, like a sea of people. just beautifull. although i have heard rumors on english blogs that the police are allowing the protests because of steel tarrifs, i dont know if there is any validity to that or not).
on the other hand, the FTAA protests in miami look terrifying. riot cops scare the shit out of me, ever since march 20th last year. still im glad that they are out there.
the protests for the republican convention in NY should be both beautifull and terrifying. i dont envy those of you who live there, it cant help but get really ugly. hopefully the cops dont kill anyone, and martial law wont be declared. good luck
