PHOTOS: Boston rally yesterday (cross post from GD)

[unhappycamper]

Yesterday we ‘celebrated’ the third anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq with a rally in Boston. It was a very brisk New England spring day, which may have dampened the turnout. I’m estimating between 1,000 ~ 1,200 folks turned out.

The march started in Roxbury, wound through the streets of Boston & ended up at the Boston Common.

This first pic was taken on Malcolm X Boulevard next to the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury



This sign says it all



Code Pink hits the nail right on the head



We had some lovely ladies from Maine join us. Check out the stickers on the back of their jackets



The Caped Crusader was there



As was Big Brother



Here’s a proud VFP dad and his sons

Onto Park Street



Police presence was heavy as it always is when crowds gather. I want to take a moment and mention that the Boston Police Force performed magnificently as was expected. They were courteous and professional -- hats off to youse guys.
