Key Bridge Wash DC Blocked

Physical observation on site in Arlington highrise in Rosslyn ^ | March 20 2003 | self

Arlington Police and fire have blocked off Lynn Street and other streets in vicinity of Key Bridge. Looks like hundreds of police on the scene. So far no word on what precipitated the event, but this hasn't happened before.

[muawiyah]

Cops continue to arrive.

Peace-loving protesters were reported to have gotten on the Orange line of the Metro at Eastern Market station headed to the Rosslyn station. I suppose this is a response to their attempts to disrupt traffic at the nearby Key Bridge. Hopefully the police will clear them out soon and lock them up if they break the law.

TV 7 - anti war demonstrators -100 to 200 of them. Key bridge, M Street, Wilson Blvd closed.

The mayor probably setup a revenue enhancing toll gate for non DC residents.

Fond memories of that area....My honeymoon night was spent at the Key Bridge Marriot.....

Georgetown on one side of the bridge and Arlinton VA. on the other....CIA Langely is just a short trip on the VA side on the GW Parkway....

Looks like hundreds of police on the scene.

If it is those idiot "peace" protestors blocking traffic I hope those hundreds of police have batons in hand.

[leadpenny]

Thank you. My guess is the protestors are at it again. Hundreds went to Rummy's house in NW yesterday - and stopped. Local Channel 5 (FOX) is reporting something about protestors now.

Knock heads first, take names later

The peace nics stopped traffic in philly the other day .. the police chief said he wouldn't make any arrests then or if they did it again

[Alas Babylon!]

Time to administer some wood shampoos, right?

The government should up the charges on this type of protesting to a felony. The number of protestors would drop dramatically if this scum new that by protesting they were pretty much relegating themselves to being unemployed. Employers won't hire felons who have a propensity to disrupt the workplace.

Arrests have been made.

Hah! Disruptors! Maybe we can ban them from the planet?

TV 7 - the protestors have left the bridge, traffic is now moving in both directions.
