The media failed to cover a lot of things. First of all there was an anarchist/anti-authoritarian march at 12:30 starting at Logan Circle which was 1,000 people strong, not exagerating what so ever. The march went peacefully except for a few people throiwng snowballs at cop cars. The cops later boxed everyone in and started swinging there batons and pushing everyone back for arrest. A bunch of marchers used the reinforced banner to push the cops back ane everyone ran. Very few arrests. Then, at the point where some news coverage was, was one of the entrances to the parade route. The guards would not let anyone in that had signs, banners, mohawks, or even looked slightly suspicious of being a non-supporter. That is why people started lifting up the baracades/gates and pushing them in. Cops must have fired 5 gallons of tear gas at us by the time the parade ended. There were only two arrests at this location though, but the riot cops managed to beat the shit out of a few people. It would have gona a lot more peacefully if they had let people into the parade route. Too bad.
