Austin Iraq War Vigil Pics
I thought that it would be a good idea to share the pictures I took of the vigil with you:
The group mills around for a few minutes before taking up positions along the Congress Avenue bridge
The owner of this very well-behaved and friendly Pyrenese-Labrador mix decked out his canine friend in anti-war parapharnalia.
My dream as well…
Taking back patriotism from the Reich-wing nutters who have usurped it…
Tyranny Response Team - very appropriate to the thugs in charge, even if the shirt comes from Alex Jones…
We’re also taking religion back from the righties…
Heh. Indeed.
By far my favorite sign from the vigil.
Although I feared violent confrontation, all we got was a Blathering of Smeagols (hat tip: Sadly, No! commenter kingubu) - a middle-aged black wonam who kept ranting incoherently and flipping us the bird. A group of us, including the Tyranny Response Team lady (see what I mean about how appropriate it was?) managed to talk her down from confrontation.
