RNC Protest photos (Not 56k friendly)
As you well know, Bush& Co. gathered in NYC for their little wankfest. This caused lots of obnoxious assholes gather up in large groups and protest the convention, making everyone's life miserable in the process. In the meantime, the city was flooded with lots of fundies, cutlists and other crackpots trying use the commotion to promote their bullshit.
Being bored, your humble servant has armed himself with an old camera and embarked on the marvelous journey in RNC NYC.
NYC during the RNC was filled with all kinds of groups trying to promote their agendas. Groups like Jews for Jesus
Jews for Bush,
Jews Against Bush and Jews against Jews For Jesus (no pics of them. Sorry).
Of course, anyone who was in Manhattan during the week saw an incredible amount of folowers of a religion called the Falun Gong whining about their persecution in China (like we're supposed to give a shit). They were literaly on every corner, but few displays got as elaborate as the one at 59th St and Lexington Avenue.
(Here's a hint: if I want to see tied up Asian people, I'll watch Japanese bondage. Your help is not needed in that area)
Of course, in addition to the crackpots of all kinds were the protestors themselves. Throughout the cities there were groups like Grandmothers against the war
As well as individual protestors (some of which were pretty cool)
What would Darwin Do?
I wonder why this one wasn't around more
Some of the protestors got creative
This guy has a point...
On Thursday, there was a rally of Veterans Against the War in Union Square:
A close-up
Woot! The Declaration of independance
Shoes symbolizing the fallen soldiers.
There's one in every crowd
Later that day, there was a protest in front of Madison Square Garden, just as Shrubby was about to give his speech.
OMG! Attack of teh commies!
Of course, the protestors weren't the only one opposed to Bush
That's all, folks.
Have a very nice day.

Re: RNC Protest photos (Not 56k friendly)
Notice how the sign "Save America: Defeat Bush!" is juxtaposed next to a streetsign which has an arrow pointing at it saying "One Way"? While the other sign - or more symbolically, the other direction - has... nothing. I don't know if you planned for that, but damn is it cool.fgalkin wrote:

Yeah, but you'll note that the arrow points right.fgalkin wrote:That was unintentional. In fact, I've only noticed that once you pointed that out.

I like the Socialist sign, I bet that pamphlet she's holding barely mentions Communism at all.

socialist revolution is the only solution....
i'll say, if people put even half as much effort into actually solving problems as they did coming up with catchy slogans we'd be living in a far better world.

I've met enough of them to see that they cover a wide range. Some are messianic Jews who stay Kosher and don't believe Jesus is the sone of God, but possibly will come back as a messiah. (I.E. Jews who say 'Jesus' a lot so that Christians will leave them alone.) Most, however, are just Protestants who used to be Jewish and feel really guilty about converting.Rogue 9 wrote:I thought someone on here said they were Messianic Jews.

Any way. They are nice pics, but I don't see a lot of toplessness or women with their slogans painted on their bare, bountiful chests.
...I miss bay area protests.

That certainly would have gained more attention for their cause.
