"They are very peaceful"....yeah, right.
Isn't there talk about some of the anti's trying to scale the fence at the WH for this one? If so, I hope the cops have the buckshot at the ready.
The police will fortify their numbers, and the MSM will fortify the numbers of the protestors.

It will really open your eyes, if they were not open before!
All being supported by the American tax payers. It must be nice not to have anything else to do but hang out in Washington and bitch about everyone and everything all day.
Shouldn't they be out looking for a job or something a little more productive? Why aren't they volunteering to work in the soup kitchens or picking up trash along the highways? At least they'd be doing SOMETHING to earn their keep!
This is going to be more of the "Million (your name here) March" -- which will mean that no more than a few thousand rent-a-mobs, union draftees and goons, and other Leftist misfits will show up, collect a check, and head on home on the next bus. All show and no dough.
If the now Miss Cindy is typical, they need pyschological counselors and padded cells too.
"It is the first major rally to occur since a D.C. law that requires police to give clear warnings before arresting demonstrators took effect.
Passed in response to the much-criticized mass arrests of protesters at a downtown park in 2002, the law also restricts the use of police lines to contain nonviolent demonstrators and requires that police wear clearly identifiable badge numbers. Police also may not stop spontaneous rallies -- as long as such incidents do not clog sidewalks or violate traffic laws -- by arresting demonstrators for protesting without a permit."
The police have been set up by these laws. There was nothing wrong with what they did in 2002. It was effective and no one was hurt.
Combined with ever-evolving protester tactics and training in new methods of violence, there will be now (quite possibly) be trouble. Headline: "Violence in Iraq Spills Into DC"
Police have to now warn lawbreakers before they arrest them? How 'bout this? How 'bout we post signs at every entrance to DC that say, "Hey, dumbass, if you break our laws, we'll arrest you. If you don't understand this, call 1-800-IMA-DUMBASS."
DC isn't the only place where this will be going on. Check for protests near you and counter them, ESPECIALLY if you're near a military installation. DON'T LET THESE BUMS DEMORALIZE OUR TROOPS!
No protests allowed in a decade? This change was made just for this reason; to allow them to protest Bush. It also seems as the police will no longer be allowed to control the rabble. This is a more important issue to me rather than arguing about how many people will be there.
