When nerds protest, nerd signs and t-shirts follow. And nerd discussion on XML/HTML raged on, climaxing with Jon Hanna's comment: "If we were going to have XML models for US Presidential Candidates, would the fact that Kerry is Bush-Lite make him more appropriate for mobile devices?"

This driver was too impatient to wait for the police to open the intersection, so she drove into the crowd of 5,000 marchers.
An estimated 5,000 people turned out for the march to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.

From Friday 30 August - Monday 2 September 2019 the Extinction Rebellion Protest took place in Manchester city centre.
GMP, with the support of its agency partners, facilitated the space they occupied over the four day period to ensure the safety of both the Extinction Rebellion protesters, but also that of people living, working and visiting the city.
The protesters have now left the Deansgate area, and there is no protest activity taking place in the city centre. All roads have now been reopened and further updates can be found on @GMPCityCentre and @OfficialTFGM.
Whilst GMP is extremely experienced in dealing with large-scale events and protests, this has presented some unique challenges.
We rigorously planned and prepared for this protest in conjunction with all relevant partners, including Manchester City Council, the local authorities of Greater Manchester, Transport for Greater Manchester, British Transport Police and communities and businesses via Cityco within the city centre.
We engaged with the protest group in advance so that we could best understand their intentions.
This enabled us to plan and prepare our response and facilitate a safe protest, resulting in no arrests.
Whilst we respect everyone’s right to peaceful protest, we ask that any protestors in Manchester also respect the right of others to go about their daily business with minimal disruption, and to liaise with the local authorities in advance.

High School students demonstrate against child poverty in SJ. Armed with abundant energy, wrinkle-free complexions, full heads of non-grey hair, a bullhorn or two, and the unfettered idealism of youth, they marched noisily around the city's uptown. Does protest really accomplish anything? I mean, the Occupy Movement didn't make a dent in the corporate world, did it? Whatever happened to SDS? Naive they may be, but you've got to admire their enthusiasm. At least they cared enough to do it!

Protesters march in front of the white house in orange jumpsuits and black bags over their heads. From what I've found online, I believe this is part of "Act Against Torture", a group of activists that are fighting against the United States' Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib policies.
These folks were nice enough to offer me a flower or two. I didn't need any flowers so I politely declined.

Turkey has some very strict laws against criticizing the government. I don't know what this protest was about, but I was a little surprised to see anything like this allowed on the streets at all.
The Hong Kong 1 July protests (Chinese: 七一遊行) is an annual protest rally originally led by the Civil Human Rights Front since the 1997 handover on the HKSAR establishment day. However, it was not until 2003 that the march drew large public attention by opposing the legislation of Basic Law Article 23. The 2003 protest, with 500,000 marchers, was the largest protest seen in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover.[1] Prior to this, only the 21 May 1989 pro-democracy protest drew more people with 1.5 million marchers in Hong Kong sympathizing with the participants of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.[2] The introduction of Article 23 legislation was temporarily shelved because of the protest. Since then, the 1 July marches have been held every year as a channel to demand for democracy, universal suffrage, rights of minorities, protection of freedom of speech and a variety of other political concerns.
