Dee and I attended the anti-war rally in New Orleans on Saturday. I'll have pictures to post tomorrow.

[livejournal.com profile] alobar was there, along with several other people I know from First UU Church.

It went very smoothly, some might say perhaps too smoothly. We were originally going to stay in the neutral ground and on the sidewalk when marching from Congo Square to Jackson Square, but there were just too many people -- easily more than a thousand -- and the march spilled over into the street, blocking Rampart, Canal, and finally Decatur.

The police who were on hand apparently decided that the best and most efficient way to handle the situation was to block intersections for us and just let us move on.

No, not at all. The New Orleans police have their problems, but they have one great talent, one task at which they excel -- maintaining the peace amidst large crowds of people.
