    a real protest, back in college.

    although it's not at all unusual to see small groups of elderly hippies standing on a busy street corner and holding incoherent signs.

    A couple weeks ago, in front of our small town newpaper office. They had fired long time (20+ years) favorite journalist, for no good reason. So, the community gathered and protested.

    6 or so years ago? (the iraq war ones)

    there were a few hundred people at these. people'd drive by yelling "fucking unpatriotic hippies" n stuff like that.

    I see anti-abortion protesters around here all the time. Other than that, the last one was PETA in San Francisco, in front of Sax 5th Avenue.
