the protesters that tossed the tons of bread in front of the french embassy in los angeles made me wonder why they didn't take that bread and give it to the homeless and down trodden people in skid row. instead they chose to use it as a type of protest and made a mess, like GW Bush.....

peace protesters rallyed on the point that the homeless should be taken care of here in the U.S. and when given the chance to feed those people, they choose to waste 'tons' of bread on a protest that was given little or no news coverage here in the city.

having business in lost angeles the day after the 'protests'
i noticed antiwar handbills/bumper stickers all around the protest route, trash and ciggie butts in the gutters, graffitti and people who etched antiwar slogans into glass storefront windows, the stench of human waste where protesters ducked into alleys and
storefront areas to relieve themselves when the protest organizers could not supply adequate facilities for the marchers.

i know that there are the fringe group of anarchists in every protest, but i find it quite amazing that the rest of the civilized, law abiding protesters could not make the effort to keep the streets clean, keep people from placing the handbills on walls, stickers from being put on windows, bus kiosks, light poles,
graffiti and the vandalism done to the glass windows and walls.

yell and scream about what gets your goat, but do the city a favor- don't make a mess, don't cause more problems than we already have, and if you protest clean up after yourselves......

amazing that people can be so passionate about a subject that they ignore the basic rules of respecting their surroundings and fellow citizens, amazing.
