Today’s Protest Scorecard: 13 arrested, 1 injured. Three of the people arrested were women who stripped naked in front of the U.S. Embassy. That’s kinda funny. The injured person was a female newspaper reporter who got trampled by some police horses. The Snook took a different route to work and hasn’t seen any hippies down his way yet. It’s still early though…
Update: The Herald‘s got a picture of the naked chicks! Apparently they covered themselves in fake blood and rolled around on an American flag. And hey, one of them was from Newtown! The Snook didn’t witness anything interesting, other than a load of cops and horse poo.

That sounds better then the recent protests in D.C where they just started rounding people up (literally like cattle, I might add) and arresting them for no reason at all. The best part was that they not only arrested protesters, but random passerby out to get a cup of coffee or something. Literally if you were at a certain place at a certain time, you were arrested, no questions asked. It was the most preposterous thing I have ever heard of. Seriously, in America civil liberties just don’t count for anything when it comes down to it, do they?

What? That sounds like terrorist talk! The Department of Homeland Security will be after you before you know it. 🙂
