…but rarely is: The Washington Post’s Web site has posted a sorta-blog-thing of streaming dispatches from their reporters around town covering today’s “anti-capitalist protests.” Pretty neat.

Besides the more visible police presence–evinced by helicopters, frequent sirens, and paddy wagons all over the place–the day’s been pretty quite. Apparently, the largest arrest happened a few blocks from my place at McPherson Square where the protestors broke a window at a Citibank branch. That’ll stop the capitalists!!

I guess that after the Seattle surprise of 1999, the cops figured out they couldn’t play around, and have increasingly made things uncomfortable for these thugs. One thing is protest and quite another is stupid vandalism.
