O tempore, o mores! Oh "Grannies for Peace" mingling with black-scarved
anarchists! Oh one-block marches and celebrity speakers! <snip>
1:03 PM - Bwog notices that gobs of press guys are running towards a
lawn closer to the Capitol, and we run over to get a look ourselves. It
appears that a chanting mob of about 300 black-clad anarchists have come
up against police resistance as they tried to march towards the Capitol.
Bwog witnesses brief scuffles, motorcycle-butting on the part of the
police, and etc. However, to our knowledge, no tear gas is thrown and no
blood is shed. We then stand by, with many a video-camera capturer, and
watch as the anarchists break through the police and make their way up
to the reflecting pool. Stymied by the lack of ice on the water, they
try to get around the pool, but not before they pose for a terrific
photo-op with the Capitol in the background.
1:14 PM - Bwog watches from across the pool as the mob fights through
police to make their way up to the steps of the Capitol. The police
presence around the event swells, with more motorcycles, cars, and
mounted cops showing up. A helicopter, for the media or otherwise, hangs
above the chaotic scene.
1:22 PM - While some speaker elicits thunderous applause on the stage
behind us, another mob of SDS kids starts storming towards the Capitol.
Bwog decides to go in for a closer look, and watches several kids rush
towards the higher levels of the building, only to be thwarted by cops.
Tourists wave cheerfully as if they're watching a staged event, which
confuses the protesters. All in all, it's a peaceful scene, however,
with protesters kept at bay by piecemeal fencing. Bwog overhears a
super-disgruntled Reuters reporter ("I said get him on the fucking
phone, what the fuck are you doing!") and wonders which other media
outlets the several dozen cameramen we see represent.
