[uppityperson]

6. Thank you protestors. Good job!

[tandot]

8. I hope they get as many brave protesters in West Sacramento today

But, the local news channels already reported that many of the streets will simply be blocked for cars and pedestrians, so Bush isn't confronted with opponents.

9. Bush IS a terrarist, we have more to fear from him, than Iran

IMHO.

[bluerum]

10. Arrest them all - make them go away! Build more jails too.

[drm604]

11. Wow!

Deja Vu. Good for them.

[rzemanfl]

12. Why are all the people being arrested women? I know in the

60's it was "chicks in front." Is this still the case?

On edit, there is a guy being arrested in one photo.

[drm604]

26. Chicks in front?

"I know in the 60's it was chick's in front".
Really? I've never heard that. Do you have a cite?

[cliss]

13. Bush was unable to get through!!!

What a huge success!! And just think, Bush is scheduled to speak today, at Stanford celebrating Earth Day.

I'd like to see that.

*Get ready for more, Bush.

[PetraPooh]

29. Really UNABLE to get through, what did he do?

Sorry not on the news around here (duh) that I can find, tell me more!

[rzemanfl]

14. Can someone out there set up a bail fund for these kids? We

could contribute by PayPal maybe?

[kentuck]

15. I love California !

Reminds me of the Sixties! Awaken children!

Peace

16. Cops shouldn't be allowed to wear riot helmets which hide

their faces, when there is no riot.

Hiding their faces= no accountablity.

[mopinko]

18. in chicago they are allowed to hide their name tags

when in riot gear. iirc, they had little flaps over them at the last big march i attended. not all do, but many.

[AuntiBush]

21. .

Because they are afraid. A security install shop owner said the majority of his customers are cops, and the likes.

When I asked why he said, they're afraid when off duty, away from all that protection gear.

Although President George W. Bush was scheduled to meet with fellows at the Hoover Institution on Friday, the presence of more than 1,000 protestors forced him to change his plans and meet with advisers and faculty members at the residence of former Secretary of State and Hoover Fellow George Shultz on the outskirts of the Stanford campus.

More than 100 armed law enforcement and Secret Service officers lined the streets outside of Encina Commons, as students, parents, faculty members and local residents protested Bush’s anticipated arrival on east campus. While the protest was peaceful, three Stanford students—seniors Claire Wagenseil, Diogo Pereira and Caroline Martin— were arrested as police pushed the crowd out of Serra Street.

The protest began at approximately 2 p.m. in White Plaza, where 200 students gathered to make signs and rally against the administration. As they began marching toward Hoover Tower, others joined their ranks and began to chant slogans. By the time the rally reached the Institution at 2:30 p.m., approximately 400 protesters lined the police barriers set around the building.

People continued to join the movement, and the slogans for reform grew louder as time passed. The magnitude of the protest ultimately forced Bush to conduct the meeting at Shultz’s house located on Delores Street.
