(Reuters) - Three activists protesting economic inequality were struck by a car and mildly injured late on Friday night as they attempted to block traffic near a gathering of conservatives in the nation's capital, police said on Saturday.
The protesters, who were transported to area hospitals with no signs of visible injury, were cited for obstructing traffic late on Friday night, said Araz Alali, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department.
"The driver saw he had the green light and the protesters then basically jumped in front of the vehicle to block traffic," Alali said. "It appears that the protesters jumped into the path of the vehicle."
Angry protesters circled the vehicle after it struck the protesters, police said. The driver was not cited.
The incident occurred on Friday as hundreds of protesters affiliated with the "Occupy DC" movement gathered near a convention center in Washington, D.C. where the conservative "Defending the American Dream Summit" was being held.

I watched the video of the protesters trying to get the police to arrest the driver. They should try jumping in front of a Virginian. There would be three dead protesters.

Whats not to like !!
Did you see the guy at OWS that the Turk punched yesterday?
Check out his interview on the right (he said this isn’t a protest, but a gathering and blocking the bridge was retarded):
Michelle Fields, a video reporter for the Daily Caller, said she was stalked for three hours Friday while attempting to cover protests outside the Americans for Prosperity “Defending the American Dream Summit” at the Washington Convention Center.
Fields said she “did not feel comfortable, because at one point there were a whole group of men surrounding me saying, F-Michelle Fields.’ And I went to a police officer and I told him that I felt these people were harassing me. And the police officer said he’d take care of it, but it never ended. These people were harassing me for the entire evening.”
One of the anti-capitalist “Occupy DC” protesters was evidently assigned to monitor Fields and her video camerawoman, following the Daily Caller crew to harass and heckle them. Fields said the protesters shouted “You’re worse than Fox” and “right-wing extremists,” called her “ugly” and made remarks about her clothing. When she attempted to conduct interviews, Fields said, “an individual would jump in front of the camera and stop the interview, or block it with a piece of paper or cardboard. . . . they talked to people who were part of Occupy DC and told them not to talk to us.”

PICKET: (video) Occupy protesters attempt to bust into DC event
Murdered by ISM.
BTW, if you know how orchestrated it was (think Paliwood), you’d know they sacrificed her... and I don’t think she had a clue they would.
That’s going to happen here too; Many Islamic groups are involved now. The wanna-be socialists like to stage and pretend... these guys will set them up for real killing to further any cause that helps them.

I am reporting from lovely Fenton MO. This afternoon I spotted the following:
1) Three young people, looking very grungy, holding signs. I could only read one and it supported Ron Paul.
2) Two even even more grungy young men, holding Occupy Fenton signs.
Now, if you are familiar with Fenton, you will
understand why I laughed so hard I nearly drove off the road.
I guess our little quiet town is now on the map...

It is against the laws in this state(FL.) and many others, Nuisance .
I am switching to a small European horn from a junk car next week. I have a choice of five and probably will go with the most ANNOYING beep-beep! Could also add an “Ooga-Ooga horn.
I have a 3500 SILVERADO CREW CAB with the long bed and topper shell!
I love annoying annoying Drivers! It’s a lot like annoying annoying demo rats and some annoying Freepers.
Life is a Blast, when one has a sense of Humor!
Did it knock any sense into them?
Great movie! Kkkkkkken is going to KKKkkkkill me!
In their next daring feat of sheer stupidity, these guys try to block traffic on a busy freeway.
She was murdered by the school, parents or society that taught her to run in front of an operating bulldozer.
That would get you dead with me. It is my longtime policy to NEVER stop in those situations. I have seen and heard of rapes, murders, and attacks on those who stopped. Homey don't play that!
Not the adjective I would use . . . .
MSM always says they were “attempting to block traffic” which usually means dozens of people surrounding a vehicle, thumping and banging on it and terrifying the occupants who become desperate to escape and hit someone in the process.
I’m not talking to these dumbbells - I’m talking to you Thunder! The goofball who “speeds up” to run over little girls. Come out and get your beating!
