ATTN ALL THOSE ATTENDING VIGILS: BRING CAMERAS
At least to capture the moments and also to deter or help capture any yahoos who try to violently disrupt the event.

Off to catch a few vigils taking place around Tucson! I'll post pics later.

3. I just got back from one
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 08:08 PM by staticstopper
in Ann Arbor, MI. Well there were two, the first one was more of a meeting/protest sort of thing...I did not make it for the candle light one that was following. It was held on the other side of downtown and my partner had to get home. I took 5 or 6 pictures as everyone started to gather.

The meeting was very moving. The first speaker was a mom also, she read Casey's sisters poem about what it was like to hear her mother's cries and screams after the dress uniform soldiers came to the door...I got very choked-up, as did many others.

There were around 120 people (or maybe more), media and reporters. They had paper for everyone to sign and write notes to Cindy and/or the pResident.

Everyone seemed very inspired, energized and committed to change things.

4. Also bring cameras for another reason
The MSM will try and say noone turned up, they will give false numbers, so we need photographic proof that people did turn up.

6. Same for me
If the OC Register even bothers to show up, they will probably not tell the real story.
I hope someone is there from OC Weekly. They will tell it like it is.
