Their message was compelling, yet easy for the people on their way in to just see it as an anti-Bush message and say "Oh, I'm part of the solution" and keep walking.We got held up because of the "bomb threat" which was the result of a device which may or may not have been designed to look like a molotov cocktail. They shut down streets, told us to hide behind buildings, mixed it up with protestors, arrested a few people, and went back to business as usual. I heard about all this from the undercover lady FBI agent. It always sucks to hear about these things from law enforcement because they often have, shall I say, a particular perspective on these types of events.The lack of good information, especially timely information, was an ongoing theme of this event. Watching the events later on the TV you either got the "Oh this was street theater" clip from the cops where they strongly alluded to the fact that they had made a mistake in flipping out over a paper mache "device" or you saw the one where they were much more bitter, defensive and self-righteous. Very "blame the victim." Guess which one made the nightly news?

Protesters gathered on the Haigis Mall of the University of Massachusetts to mourn the death of New Jersey state police officer, Philip Lamonoco, and protest the lecture, “The Great Western Massachusetts Sedition Trial: 20 years later” that took place at the Isenberg School of Management on Thursday, November 12, 2009. The lecture, originally planned to include Ray Luc Levasseur, former leader of the United Freedom Front, was forced to continue without Levasseur because of the U.S. parole board’s decision to not allow him to cross state lines as part of his parole restrictions.

Kimani Gray Protest on Church Ave between E55th st Nostrand Ave. and in Brooklyn, NY on March 13, 2013.
Though a majority of Americans are now against the war in Iraq, street protest remains the territory of fringe groups.
Groups of protesters both for and against President Bashar al-Assad of Syria protest outside their Embassy in London during the current 'Arab Spring'.
Like many left-wing protests (including some I've participated in), this one seems to have been a bit unfocused. The sign reads:
Autonomy for Tibet
Free the Jena 6
Free Troy Anthony Davis and Kenneth Foster
Innocent Men on Death Row
Abolish Death Penalty
A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.
