Second project




I've been protesting the war in Iraq since before it began. I was in San Francisco on feb. '03 to protest sending troops there in the first place. The next year I was at an anti war protest show in London. Last year I was back in San Francisco being chased by riot cops on dirt bikes through the streets until they were able to stop our protest with their barricades of bikes, cops, and batons. This year I was back in S.F. again, and it was a joke. Instead on a protest, I found myself in the middle of a parade. The same ass hole cops were there this year, taunting me and itching for a fight, but nobody gave them one. I doubt if most the residents of the city even knew that there was a protest going on. The way people are acting lately, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them don't even know that there is a war going on. Or maybe our society has grown even more apathetic. Scary thought.
