10:39 pm - March 18th Antiwar event

Note that I'm using the same photo essay for Cbus Indymedia, LJ, and some personal emails, so contents may have settled during shipping.

Yours truly with sign. Liberal Sign-Carrying Bloc and fuckin proud of it.

Improvised, rolling drumset. Truly a centerpiece of the march--kudos to those who made it.

It's hardly a protest without revolutionary clowns giving out balloons

Keeping us safe--or something.

Politics aside, I really liked how this one came out

As the rally broke up, a contingent walked a few blocks in the direction of the Ohio Republican Party HQ. Here, anarchists pause to play in the alley.

Now for some stupidity. The phalanx of horse cops, bicycle cops and car cops had been hanging around all day, looking for an excuse to arrest someone. Finally, they found it, when a guy with a sign stepped out in front of a car rolling down the alley. I hadn't thought that standing in an alley in front of a car for all of two seconds was an arrestable offense, but the horse cop who galloped up and siezed him must have thought otherwise.

But there's good news. The word on the street is, "his name is mark and he was released before we even made it to the jail for jail solidarity."
I enjoyed this march and was glad to see so many people there, whatever their ideology. Shout-outs are owed to Food Not Bombs, Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army, AntiWar Columbus, and many more.

this is VERY GOOD THANK YOU!!!! we all love you!! ::group hug::

and i am glad charlene came too. soon I'll have your pictures up for grabs..

ummm about the guy who was arrested... he was pushing the propped up banner in the middle of the street for blockade to the side so the black lexus crowd instigator car can go through, and advance to almost hit people.
umm have you posted that super picture (of the kid getting arrested) on indymedia yet???
if not, please do so. if you don't know how, i can do it if you want.

I just posted a link to the LJ entry at cbusimc. cbusimc makes it way too cumbersome to post a large number of images.

The march was great!

I was there, it was fantastic. All of us being one. Some people think protesting does not help but they are wrong! I was surely outnumbered by the total of anarchists and socialists, plus I could only see one other black female, but I didn't care, as long as I was there!
Hey, let's do it again.
And as some of us say; Love, peace and hair grease!

Oh yeah, thanks for this site.

" plus I could only see one other black female,"

Any ideas as to how we can invite more next time?

From all of the photos I have seen today, I did see a few more, like 3. But whatever, it's still very very low for black females. I know my sister and her friend marched once in DC with me. I will try to get them to come to the next march. They are in great support of this movement. Besides that, I really don't know how, I can only tell everyone I know what I do and invite them.
Peace Out

Not the best streaming video (was that horse poo?) but your photos are great. Looked like a ton of people.
