To find Sea Island, you have to be able to read a map.
To find Georgia, you have to be able to read a map.
If someone had told them it was on the way to Florida or provided buses, maybe more would be there.

VERY, and funny :)
When I was in college (early 90's) they would have recruiters come to campus with offers of free travel and a small stipen to protest events.

"Hopefully we'll get some more poeple out," Mr. Stout said. "Maybe this is all just practice for tomorrow." It could be a lot worse. Hopefully, it won't get worse!

Israel Tarann, who owns and operates an ice cream truck in Savannah, seranaded the group as it passed. "All we are saying, is give ice cream a chance," he sang. Though the song attracted a few protesters to his truck, Mr. Tarann did not make a sale. "I had to tell them I was capitalist, and I sell ice cream for profit," he said. "The guy who came up to me said, 'Oh, we thought you were a collective.' Then they left." LOL! PRICELESS!

This article has some great descriptions of the tiny mind of the left! (Plus the fact that most of them seem to have come for the sun 'n sand rather than the tear gas...)

If these anarchists had made the effort to organize they might have had a better turn out.

He and Mr. Bucker said they attend school at Emory College in Atlanta and came down to share the hotel costs with two other friends more who were more interested in the protests. Dude, like we thought maybe, like some of the protest chicks might be like, you know, totally liberated and want to party after a tough day of picketing.

Funny, but I think the poor little wienie's don't have the guts to spend a little time in jail for their supposed convictions. I mean a liberal being responsible for the damages they cause!
Wonder if the article is really an advertisement for more participation.

Lakely of the
Times.
The entire article is hilarious - written with a not-so-subtle undercurrent of mockery.
Love the exchange with the ice cream man.

"I think we overestimated ourselves," Sandra Kwak, 22, said with a laugh in a light drizzle in expansive Forsyth Park. "But even if the few people who are here learn something, it's not a total loss."Kwak-Kwak.

"No. I wore the bandana so I could get reporters to talk to me -- and to get on TV," he said. Now that's funny!
But I confess I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of high-Marple-index street puppets. It just isn't a decent protest without street puppets.
To: seamus
a phalanx of police, clad in riot gear, formed a defensive line to protect a Starbucks Yeah. But would they try that hard to protect a Tully's?
