I Went to the World Bank Protest in DC '07

I was at the protest Saturday afternoon at about 3pm. By then, the march was over and the last of the protesters were about 8 people mingling around. The police was there in full riot gear. I tried to talk to a few of the young mostly white activist there. They were reluctant to get on camera saying they dont consider themselves media whores. The World Bank looked like an Ivory Tower surronded by barriers and riot cops, DC Metro Busses, AND SNOW ICE TRUCKS (and we can't get empty busses to come on time at the bus stops, hum, lol). Bus riders pay a fare of 1.35, how much are tax payers paying for an empty buss to be a sitting duck in harms way at the taxpayers expenses???!! What would Geigo do! Maybe the next time the gangs come to my community with guns blazing to make a point by shooting up my block, I'll park my car as a barricade on the sidewalk in front of our porch for protection against drivebys!
