I'm going to leave this thread here. I'm sure there will be some good signs coming out of the protests today.
There's one occurring at 10:30 a block away and i'd go see what it's all about....but I have to work.

I see a bunch of Hispanics from my window walking around in my neighbors' yards. They aren't carrying signs or chanting though. They are carrying weedeaters and leaf blowers. Weird.
