After I've calmed down some I'll write about the Blue/yellow line problems
that kept many (but not us) away from the march..... strange coincidences abound.

2. The fuckin' metro guy SENT people down to the platform....
KNOWING that no train was EVER gonna come.

We fled before it got so packed we couldn't get out.....


But that's just the tip of the iceberg

3. I'm sure that there was a concerted effort to interfere...
with the protests as much as they could. I wonder how many people who tried to get there was never able to do so.

5. Before we checked out this morning the DC news said 100's
What pisses me off is that there were people down there whose jobs were jeopardized because of that ploy.
There were people trying to get on that metro to go to work too

4. Ah yes the "routine track maintenance" which ensured about 1 train

per hour, either yellow or blue, would arrive, fully packed. We ended up talking to other folks heading to the march and everyone was saying the same thing: what a "coincidence". Luckily we did get on one and made it to the march.
