The first thing that stuck out to me at the protest, was the severe lack of hippies. Images in the news centered around the students beating drums and singing in the capital. Later discussing this with other people, I found it to be a great disservice to what was happening on the ground. Most of the protesters were adults and families coming to defend there rights. We supported them by coming out as well, one TA and two tax-payers. Not hippies, not ‘thugs’. Concerned citizens, and someone whose family is under attack.
Plus, steel workers and pipe fitters gave away brats, so that was awesome.
Below you will see many of the signs protesters were carrying. Some funny, some emotional, but all carried with the seriousness of the matter at hand. Not to mention two buddies in a totally hipster shot.
After reviewing my Friday afternoon pictures, which these all are, I decided I didn’t have enough faces. I wasn’t telling a story. But, they are all legitimately entertaining!
