I would have told the guard that I was going to Baltimore to shop at the Inner Harbor 
In this post-911 world why would you tell them you are coming in to protest?
I wonder how many of the march participants voted for Jill Stein (or Joan Stern as Samantha Bee calls her) or Gary Johnson and enabled Trump?

people should be allowed to cross an imaginary political line to go to a peaceful event

why are they (these women, men and children) being aggressed?

and out of curiosity what are they protesting specifically?

admittedly i haven't seen a detailed list or agenda

it this for something or against something? or both?

i was just interested in specifics that they/we could point to

not so much feelings but facts

something to focus on, something with good evidence to address the aggressors

i wish everyone participating a safe, peaceful and productive demo

regards

Let me know if anyone is interested in the March in LA tomorrow and I can pass along details.  PMs are most likely best so as to not cloud up the forum.

Thanks! :)

Grand jury indicts leader behind Planned Parenthood videos

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Houston grand jury investigating undercover footage of Planned Parenthood found no wrongdoing Monday by the abortion provider and instead indicted anti-abortion activists involved in making the videos that provoked outrage among Republican leaders nationwide.

David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, was indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a governmental record and a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs baby parts!!1!!11!. Another activist, Sandra Merritt, was also indicted on a charge of tampering with a governmental record. It's the first time anyone in the group has been charged criminally since the videos started surfacing last year. (...)

Ah, but you said you had a new and improved mission (aimed at progressives that don't wanna play along in a pretty specific game).

And I can see how somebody has to, because there is obviously an incredible shortage of such comments everywhere. Meet the bandwagon.

Reminds me of the propaganda a few years ago. "We can't leave Afghanistan. Think of the wimmens!"

I have been making it a point to criticize the third world countries which are mostly, but certainly not all Islamic (talking to you India)  lately because well somebody has to since you have claimed the market singling out all offenses of Colonialist Christians and Jews, hence my fair and balanced.

"Fair and balanced" in a very peculiar but familiar way. A product of the zeitgeist.
