The National "Day of Rage," allegedly coordinated by Anonymous, and drawing the attention of DHS, failed to draw crowds at location after location across the nation.
A not surprising exception was San Francisco, where a few early-birds were joined by perhaps a hundred or so others who marched alongside a generous police presence mixed among the crowd.
Some of the disappointed protestors took to twitter to lament the lack of participants in their areas.

Northern No Name State:

Bathroom ambushed,some resistance was encountered, but Sgt. Major intervened, bathroom backed down after being slapped silly by a mop. Mop rcvd no injuries, bathroom will require application of anti-biotics.
THAT’S how you do a day of rage, you make it productive.
I looked. There was no mention of a Day of Rage here in NYC’s papers. Therefore, I assume it was a complete bust. OK by me!
I got the weed-eater out and whacked some weeds, gas-powered! I really stuck it to the man!
Makes me mad
Why do women have small feet?
There was a sleepy protest in Chicago next to the Union League Club.
I looted the fridge. For Michael.
That is *exactly* correct, blu. Nothing works better on rage than good old fashioned elbow grease.
I LOLed at this thread. How frustrated & disappointed must Bill Ayers be? And how swwweeet is that?!
“a few early birds”
There’s the problem. They all should have been required to attend an “Angry Hour” drinking session in a hot, crowded bar.
Then they’re primed. What’s wrong with these kids today?
I wouldn’t put it past the government, the media and the race-baiters to double down on some type of event that WILL create a day of rage.

Maybe Mom and Dad told those thinking of going to the protests, day of rage ... you go this time ... keep going and don’t come back?? Thank You for this wonderful news!
Good post. Thanks for the update, blueplum!
You still up?
They do this crap just to scare people. It’s a bunch of nonsense.
lol, so instead of Rage Against the Machine, it’s Rage Against the Unclean.
Was waiting on information. See you were too ... LOL. And to think passed up A Lass tonight but heck didn’t have the strength anyways ... LOL

“I got the weed-eater out and whacked some weeds, gas-powered! I really stuck it to the man!”
Yeah, man, whack those weeds with real rage! I totally get where you’re coming from all the way! I practically feel like Thor with a weed-whacker when I whack those damn weeds down! Just a complete green slaughter!
