A New Twist - NOT!

Washington Post has a story about protests scheduled for President Bush's second inauguration. Now this is a huge story, I mean huge, who would have even suspected there would be protest planed for President Bush's inauguration - right!

Protesters unveiled more specifics about their plans yesterday for a spirited day of demonstrations to counter President Bush's second inauguration next Thursday, as one group said it was considering a lawsuit to gain more access to the parade route.

Will they be peaceful, I guess not.

Anarchist Resistance said it would stage a "festive and rowdy march" from Franklin Square. A message posted on its Web site says: "There's nothing left to salvage in this empire that is the U.S. government. It's time to bring it down."

I have never understood the "let's protest the war and get arrested" mentality like these demonstrators plan.

The D.C. Anti-War Network is sponsoring a rally at Meridian Hill Park, also known as Malcolm X Park, in Columbia Heights and a march to McPherson Square. After the march, some participants will risk arrest by lying down at 16th and H streets NW, across from Lafayette Square, as part of a civil disobedience "die-in," organizers said.
