Despite rain, students walk out to attend anti-war protest (MN)

MINNEAPOLIS - A few hundred high school and college students, undeterred by a steady rain and hoping to capitalize on public opinion, walked out of their classes Friday to protest the war in Iraq,

"It's something we're really, really against," said University of Minnesota senior Amy Clute, who joined the protesters on the school's Twin Cities campus.

The students listened to speakers, chanted slogans and held anti-war posters and banners. Two protesters wore President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney masks and dressed in orange prison garb, toting a sign saying, "Try all war criminals." <snip>

2. i was there, and was involved in organizing
There was serious police bullshit going on. A kid threw red paint on the recruitment center, and the police just started arresting random people. I have honestly never been so pissed at a protest. Here's my own write up of the event: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1050152&mesg_id=1050152
