Protest in Dallas on Wednesday Dec 27

[David]

The group canceled it becuase they fear for there safety.

Isn't that ironic?

The protesters cancelled their protest because of the potential retalliation by the people they were protesting against?

That's like the old comic about the Procrastinaters Convention being postponed.

Oh well...that would have been great national level coverage.

3 TV stations and at least 1 radio station were there and there were ZERO PROTESTORS. I arrived around 11:30 and scoped out the area and then parked by BB. Went into BB, COMPUSA, OFFICE Max, etc and everytime I left a store I would go down to the end and look around to see if anything was happening (couldn't really see Park lane from there but). Guy who was the center security was watching me everytime I came out- guess I had him confused since my camera was in the car. Went over to the Sports Authority (Oshmans) and bought some NB's on sale so nows I has some new tootsie protectors and when I was there I had a good view of Park Lane and no protestors anywhere.

Most of the news crews left before 12:30- looks like they had a spot where they did some interviews but they hightaled it out when it turned into just a funeral.

I have an answer to that, but not sure if I should post it here or not.
