The push
Thursday 20 January 2005 @ 02:19
I got an unconfirmed report that protesters are going to try and rush the inauguration down at 14th and D. I am too far away to get there, but when I hear something, I will let you know.

Given all the heavily armed cops here, rushing the inauguration sounds like a good way to get your ass shot off. We'll see.

6. I was just able to get thru to cspan

Does the whole parade route have a line 3-4 officers deep of security, or just the place in front of the protestors?

5. Sigh..

I've never been so damn proud to be an American and a democrat. Seeing the pictures and hearing about the protestors is making me a little teary right now.

You wouldn't want that to be leaked
