I started out taking pictures because that's what I like to do at marches. Truthfully though, most of the anarchists I saw were not really working to be interesting and thoughtful visual statements. It was more about wearing bandanas like banditios and black clothing and hanging out with friends from what I could see.



All of a sudden I noticed there was a guy speaking, and everybody was looking that way. He didn't say much, basically "we're anarchists, and we don't like what's going on. Lets march!"



They had a couple of big signs to lead the march with, and they assembled and were carrying them as a collective activity.

    

     

  

The police presence was very visible all along the route. It wouldn't surprise me to find out the policemen outnumbered the anarchists by a large margin. I tried to ignore them for the most part. 

  

     

The fine print on that MORE! MORE! MORE! sign reads "It will all be okay. Just keep spending."

  

     

Is Mrs. Bloom a band name? How about FREE SPEECH? I hate that "I'm not sure I get it" feeling...

  

          

  

  

About the time I took these pictures the cops were starting to exude a nasty vibe. Then the helecopter overhead started emiting some grainy sounds that could be construed to be "illegal assembly.... disperse..." Anyhow, I took a few more pictures and hit the road.
  
     

Special thanks to the woman on a bicycle that took the picture on the right. I was walking towards the bus stop, and she kept me company on the way. She told me about having to argue with the cops to get back to University Ave. to pick up her bike. Neither of us knew how the event was going to turn out. I found out later it ended peacefully.
