And I thought it was going to be a picture of clean, UNtrashed grounds AFTER the event.

Nice! I didn’t even think of capturing that. That would have been a good idea (though it was quite dark by the time it was over).

FBI taping tea parties is very patriotic too.

The Indianapolis Tea Party started with the Pledge of Allegiance, Prayer, YES Prayer, and singing the National Anthemn.

Here is what the organizer Richard Behney had to say afterwards:

"Although the local media would have us believe we only had around 2,000 attendees at the event (which would be correct if you were counting 2 hours before the event even started!), those trained in crowd control AND the IMPD [Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department] estimated our rally had somewhere between 12,000 - 15,000 Peaceful Patriots!!!! In fact, the Capital Police remarked that they were amazed at how well behaved our crowd was!! AND, what's more, our volunteers expected to spend a few hours after the event, picking up trash and cleaning the area, BUT, there was hardly ANY evidence that 15,000 people were just there!! We Patriots sure know how to party AND not make a mess!!! Indianapolis Tea Party
