Anybody Run Across An Aerial Shot Of Any Of The Protests ???
I remember, that at one of the S.F. protests, they hired a helicopter and a photographer to take a picture of the entire march. They were absolutely fed up with being under-reported, and the pictures they got, left no doubt about the hugeness of the crowd.

One example from Jan 19th, 2003:



Don't know if they even allow helicopters in D.C. (with the exception of Marine 1), but a shot from a high-rise, or the Washington Monument would be nice.

Anybody seen a panoramic crowd shot yet???

:shrug:

2. We heard that the start of the SF march
was already at Market while we were still at Delores Park and plenty of folks still coming in. I saw some incredible crowd shots standing at the tops of some of the streets. Of course the City was fantastically beautiful today! We don't know where the people ended behind us but we were strong and mighty! I'm thrilled even though I ache a bit from those hills! LOL!

12. Rummy can...
As part of the Granite Shadow "exercise" I don't doubt that Rummy and all had a predator or two cruising high above, recording EVERYthing. These are desperate fascists and will stop at nothing to gain total and absolute control, from the bought-and-paid-for "Christian" preachers to the corpo-lobbyists who write the laws.
Without a serious and immense revolution in the streets, the once-noble (we thought...) experiment in participatory government will be relegated to that famous dustbin of history...jaysus!
Do you REALLY think that the simultaneous shutdown of the NYC-DC Amtrak line and the DC Metro lines (all three) was a random co-incidence? I have a bridge over the East River...
And hey, you Echelon monitors - FUCK YOU!!! you anti-American paycheck whores! GWB must be replaced PRONTO!

9. San Francisco's march snaked so much we never got to see the whole
crowd - I would have loved to have seen Market St filled from top to bottom with us all.
Our thanks to Tommy's Joynt - official refueling Hof Brau of the masses!!!
