[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what happened? [/quote]

As I understand it, the woman in the car drove to Wisconsin Ave and encountered the protest. She wanted to get away from the crowd, so she drove thru a gas station as this would allow her to access another street. The crowd moved to keep her boxed in and unable to drive thru the gas station. They wanted the driver to be “disrupted” by the protest. The streets in Georgetown are very narrow, so there likely would not be an opportunity to make a u-turn and go another route. She apparently drove slow and bumped protestors, who were demanding that she stop her car. It seems like she got a block away, encountered the police, and that’s when everyone was detained.

We live near here and the protest passed in front of our house last night around 9pm. It was pretty small - maybe only 20-30 people. They were blasting music, chanting, and generally peaceful. I have no issue with the protests or marching in streets.

My only issue is that they wouldn’t allow this woman to leave peacefully. They purposefully boxed her in and wouldn’t let her go another direction, away from the protest. That’s BS and just causes more problems.[/quote]
