Thanks, kristinn. After reading your description, my suspicion is that there is no such charge as the one you "weren't cited for," and that you probably could have stayed all night and all the next day without seeing a single met cop. If I had to bet, I'd say the police were running a bluff to placate Kerry's people.
Anyway, kudos for the splendid action!
Boney, you just cut right to it all the time.
kristinn, can you get ahold of a copy of all the laws and codes regulating demonstrations in the DC area to have on hand when a Kerry scaremonger calls for police backup and intimidation?
