Good video. I'm so glad we had a nice day for the march. By 4:30 of course it was pouring rain.

The imperial bu$h snake puppet was great. I believe that one made an appearance at the anti-inaugural event on Jan. 20th.

One thing I noticed about the police presence this time, they were more subdued. They still had hundreds of them for our own protection. Yeah right. A peace march, means a peace march Mr policeman. Usually the cops are so arrogant and tense, they just want to vent their anger at someone. So you have incidents like the taser incidents from 1/20, where a couple of kids got tasered for not moving fast enough and stepping off the sidewalk into the street for just a bit.

Having the speaker/rally part at city hall was a great idea. It has it's own video camera's to capture the street, so the police were on their best behavior. They don't control that video. I saw a lot of minor things they normally would go ballistic over. Might not have been good publicity to beat a few protesters with the Mayor Pro-Tem on the speaking bill.

By the way it was great of Jackie to mention that tasers were a problem. Lets hope that she tries to do something before she ends her term this May.

It was nice to meet eveyone out there.

Hi Longhorn & Trailrider!
