The crowd protesting the shutdown at the Ohio Statehouse yesterday...
I went downtown planning to just walk around and take a few photos on the mostly empty streets. I knew there were protests, but I didn't realize all this was happening until I got down there. I stayed across the street and far away from them, but I felt I had to document the craziness...
Protesta en Valparaíso por la muerte de Jorge Mora, hincha de Colo Colo apodado Neco, atropellado durante una manifestacion el dia anterior en Santiago
I was having a coffee and cigarette when this happened outside the window. I had a compact camera with me . . .
On March 16, 2013, I photographed this couple outside Lewisham Hospital, including the man's protest hat, which was drawing a lot of attention. Despite heavy rain, hundreds of protestors gathered outside the hospital to support the ongoing "Save Lewisham Hospital" campaign at an event entitled, "Born in Lewisham," in which those born in Lewisham Hospital were encouraged to come along and share their stories and photos.
The campaign was established in October 2012, when Matthew Kershaw, an NHS Special Administrator appointed to deal with the financial problems of a neighbouring trust, the South London Healthcare Trust (based in Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley), recommended that Lewisham Hospital -- which is not part of the SLHT and has no financial problems -- should merge with one of the SLHT's hospitals, the Queen Elizabeth in Woolwich, and should have its A&E Department closed and other frontline services -- including maternity -- severely downgraded. In Lewisham, this would mean tens of thousands of emergencies having to be dealt with elsewhere, as well as 90 percent of Lewisham's mothers having to give birth outside the borough.
The "Born in Lewisham" event on March 16 followed two huge marches, in November and January, and although Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, approved Matthew Kershaw's plans on January 31, judicial reviews have been launched by Lewisham Council and the Save Lewisham Hospital campaign, on the basis that the Special Administrator exceeded his remit when he included Lewisham in his proposals.

Islamists have gathered on Baitul Mukaram mosque and joined running battles with police in protest to punish anti-religious bloggers
Peaceful protesters have ensured that today’s demonstration organised by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has passed off without any major incidents.
Officers estimate that about 35,000 protesters took to the streets of Manchester city centre, today, Sunday 2 October 2011. No arrests were made.
The event started with a march that left Liverpool Road, and included two ‘feeder marches', organised by separate groups, which left from Oxford Road and Fire Station Square in Salford respectively, and joined the main congregation for the march.
The demonstration then went along Deansgate, John Dalton Street, Princess Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street, Hall Street, Bale Street and then arrived for a rally at No 1 First St.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "Organisers of the demonstration made it clear that it was their intention is to demonstrate peacefully, as is their democratic right, and this is exactly what happened.
“We are grateful to those protesters who co-operated fully with the police.
“We are now working hard to ensure that all users of Manchester city centre are able to get back to normal business, albeit while the Conservative Party Annual Conference and its security demands continue.
"We have worked closely with partner agencies, including those who represent local businesses, and we fully understand their desire to ensure that the city can keep moving. I believe we achieved this as far as is reasonably possible today.
“As we estimate that 35,000 people attended, and that their march covered significant parts of the city centre, we did require a significant police presence, in the interests of public safety and protecting the city. A policing presence, albeit scaled down, will remain into the evening.
“We are now focused on delivering the highest standards of security for all involved and affected by the conference, which continues this week.
"Manchester is privileged to host the conference and the event is good for the city.”

A not-so-subtle protester makes his point known

The picture above is of a person who is protesting in shahbag, he is demanding death penalty to Abdul Quader Mollah aka Butcher of Mirpur or Mirpurer Koshai (Bengali) who is accountable for 344 deaths, beheading a poet, raping 11-year old girl during the independence war of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971. He has been given life imprisonment instead of a capital punishment, the people in Bangladesh are extremely unhappy with this move, and have demanded Capital punishment. To pressurize the government they have been staging a peace protest in Shahbag, Dhaka, Bangladesh. They don't belong to any political party, neither they have been forced to come there and protest, they come here to demand for justice and to give respect to those people who lost their life in the independence war of Bangladesh. Like him there are thousands of people in this place, some of them have lost their family members during the Bangladesh independence war and many youngsters come here as they couldn’t participate in the Independence war so they want to be a part of the independence war, as nearly 42 years has gone from its independence but the sentences for the accused has not be given.

Protesters attacked delegates, smashed windows, punctured car tires and threw bottles Monday, a violent counterpoint to an otherwise peaceful anti-war march at the Republican National Convention. Police arrested at least 56 people.
Members of the Connecticut delegation said they were attacked by protesters when they got off their bus near the Xcel Center, KMSP-TV reported. Delegate Rob Simmons told the station that a group of protesters came toward his delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a toxic substance that burned their eyes and stained their clothes.
One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing, the station reported.
A local house was raided and the following items were found inside:
Spikes to deflating the tires of the delegates' buses.
Large amounts of urine, including five gallon buckets of urine
Materials to create "sleeping dragons" (PVC pipe, chicken wire, duct tape), which is when protesters lock themselves together
Wrist rockets (high-poweredslingshots)
A machete, hatchet and several throwing knives
Gas mask and filters
Empty glass bottles
Rags
Flammable liquids
Homemade caltrops (devises used to disable buses in roads)
Metal pipes
Axes
Bolt cutters
Sledge hammers
Rapelling equipment
Kryptonite locks
Empty plastic buckets cut and made into shields
Material for protective padding
Army helmet
