After Action Report: DC Chap Counter Protest Arl. Cem.

Posted on 10/02/2004 12:04:40 PM PDT by StayAt HomeMother

While I can get on the server, here is a short after action report from kristinn on the D.C. Chapter's "PRO-AMERICA COUNTER-DEMO OF LEFTIST PROTEST AT ARL. NAT'L CEMETERY."

First was a trip to Kerry's house, organized by Ted Sampley's group. About a dozen showed up. The police arrived about an hour after the start of permitted time and blocked the street.

A couple dozen FReepers and lurkers showed up at the counter-protest at Arlington Cemetery. There were about 500 on the "other side." Arlington Memorial Bridge is a major road, at least six lanes wide, that runs across the Potomac from the Cemetery to the Lincoln Memorial, and the police literally kept "them" on the other side of the street.

All went well. Both sides were pretty quiet. Good media interest. The MOAB (Mother Of All Banners) read, "Go To hell Traitors. You Dishonor Our Dead On Hallowed Ground." Some drivers gave the FReepers the finger; many others gave them a thumbs up.

Here are my pictures from today's counter-protest. [Unless I still haven't figured out how to use Webshots!] Let me know if they are viewable.

It says that I am not the owner of the album. Asking for login.

I'm having trouble with the link, getting this error when I click on it:

"An error has occurred.

We've all done this with Webshots. You need to log out and then access the pictures like a non-member. Those URLs will work for all of us.
