Nice work with the captions. It really is amazing that these people confront the poor peace officers trying to do their job and get everyone to simply act like adults.

The only US Flags I saw in the crowd (via TV) were wrapped around boxes. These people were, however, flapping the flags of other nations.

What a bunch of idiots.

__________________________No, no, no - you just don't understand! Every one of them is a class act. LOW class, to be sure, but class acts, nonetheless. Their collective IQ would have to register at least in the low 70s, wouldn't you guess?

I still think that Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs should sue Jackson Brown for recording "Stay". A separate suit should nail Jackson for impersonating a singer.

If any of my kids ever participated in anything like that, adult or not I'd still whoop their ass.

Outstanding captions--especially the ships and the clerical error. LOL! Thanks, for standing in the gap, DC Chapter.
