What If You Held A Protest...

...and no one came?

Sat out in front of the convention center with a dozen or so gunbloggers waiting for the big anti-NRA protest. News reports had placed the protest between 11:30 and noon, so we were camped out at the main entrance waiting for the big protest starting at 11:30. We left at 1 after not a single sign or waft of patchouli.

If you can't depend on a hippie, who can you depend on???

That is all...

Apparently about 200 or so people showed up somewhere. Bitter and a few others found them.

I guess that's what happens when the sheeple have no shepherd... er, shepherd-le.

Were there any news media there? When I lived in Ohio there were a few scheduled demonstrations (I won't name names; don't want to give 'em any press) where the media and law enforcement outnumbered the protesters and counter-protesters.

"Psst, fellow hippies. There's a shaved-head, bearded guy with an evil grin just sitting there. We may have to rethink our protest methodology."

What's that saying? Don't throw rocks at people with guns? Don't bring a sign to a gunfight? Something like that....
