I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
So I'm finding that Craigs List Washington DC, as well as protesting on this coast, both seem to be a little different than what I'm used to. Exhibit A, one of the few posts I've found so far having to do with inauguration protests*, from today's DC Craigs List:
"Be careful if going to the counterinaugural. The location is 1350 Okie Street NE, Washington, DC. I would not recommend going alone. Stay in groups. Should be avoided by the very young and old alike. Get out of here by dark. Don't wander, stay close as possible to New York Avenue. Don't go in alleys. I don't know where to park. Expect drug trade and working girls at night. Go Luck and have fun."
Oooooo-kay...

So, Jen(n), how did the protest go? You get arrested yet?
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you about how my niece got arrested at a WTO protest in DC about 5 years ago? Per her mother (my sister), the cops "forced the marchers to deviate from the permitted route, and then arrested them all for marching w/o a permit."
No conviction, natch, but what a way to learn about how money pulls the strings of the DCPD.
