a siren/noise pollution protest where we blocked off streets in Georgetown. The police presence was heavy. As we blocked off streets we demanded that people turn around. This was a minor inconvenience for this affluent white neighborhood.
Excuse me? What the hell? This twit DEMANDED that people turn their cars around?
This was on Wisconsin Avenue near/at the TD Bank. I guess protestors are now allowed to close streets and highways as they see fit. A DC drivers license plate was posted as well as a picture of the driver and the name on a id tag of a policeman. How ironic this thread shows up with Goodbye DC on DCUM

So anywhere in DC or anywhere else people expect to be able to drive down public streets, have a pharmacy, grocery store, etc. Fear of a driver surrounded by a mob? From the protestor "I am exhausted. My hands are shaking. I am angry. As the nation returns to complacency, we are still out here. We are still being killed. We are still being brutalized. For every second our nation forget about us we get angrier. WE DESERVE MORE. WE NEED MORE."

The driver? Could have been a nurse going to/from Georgetown Hospital on a shift.
