Did you get there right in time not to be arrested? I am impressed by the photos. Although, I've always known you are quite the photographer. I am jealous of your nicer camera. Keep us updated about campaign riots w/ photos

I didn't get any pictures of the really good stuff, like the teargas and shit.This bus sitting incedent was small fry compared to other stuff. I watched trash cans and bike racks dragged into the streets, broken store windows, and about thirty people cuffed in a parking lot filled with about 150 cops. apparently they cornered them and then teargassed the crap out of them. These anarchists had it coming though. One cop was hit from behind and knocked down, and another cop car had its windows smashed in. the news said people were also dropping chunks of concrete on cop cars. I didn't go downtown today on account of rain, but there should be action tommorrow so I'm gonna head down. y the way, thanks for checking out the blog guys!
To answer your question marhta' I'm not doing any of the rioting or even any of the protesting, i'm just taking pictures.
