Vincent Macropod in “‘The Mass Arrests at the Protest on Market and Montgomery, San Francisco, 3/19/08,’ Performed by First Graders”

Oh, there is much to be told. Much! But I’m really, really sick right now, so I’ll have to tell you later. It can wait. Here’s a cartoon.
- So obviously, I was at the protest in question, though I was not among the arrested. It was my first trip to San Francisco, and the first time I’d ever seen such a protest. It was singular; a real live protest full of real live angry, organized protesters. My midwestern ass had never seen the like. They had their own marching band! The police of the city were almost as remarkable, though. They let the protesters shut down a major intersection for about two hours before they got to arrestin’, and when they did get to it, they did so casually, almost convivially. Arresters and arrestees alike ranged from the smiling and cheerful to the merely casual! Like they didn’t know their roles. Astounding.

That is really cute. I mean almost more cute than a Sanrio marketing creation. It’s that cute. And he’s wearing a Brave Starr shirt! Heart melting!
