6. us + 20,000 - 50,000 people!

"The largely peaceful protest in San Francisco drew about 20,000 people, according to police. Organizers put the figure at closer to 50,000. Either way, it was one of the region's largest anti-war demonstrations since the United States invaded Iraq more than two years ago."

3. Thank you! That is one incredible photo!

Protesters appear to be all the way down Market Street to Van Ness, near the SF Civic Center. Did we have more here than in DC?

8. DC had 100,000 - 500,000

SF: 20,000 - 50,000

Imagine the feel of a crowd 10x bigger than SF today... DC rocks!







edited to fix number.

4. Thank you for sharing!

Seems I'm always working, too far out in the boonies to join a protest, and this is the next best thing. I love the creativity of the posters.

10. All great pictures!

One that made me chuckle (in spite of the circumstances,) was this one:



The instant captured in this photo doesn't unequivocally say "arrest," but it is kinda silly police behavior, isn't it? No one wants their picture in the paper losing their balance, much less wearing shorts, gloves, and a helmet!

11. I think that one is in DC (our cops are more graceful) n/t
