This is no bull. How else would I have even KNOWN about the kids on the bus except by a first hand report. I heard a report from a housemate who in turn heard complaints from friends in the immigrant community about the bus being delayed.
It was these complaints that inspired the article.

As for Critical Mass bike rides on Sherman Ave, these don't beat drums in front of peoples homes all day and are often cheered by residents sick of nearly being run down by cars on their own streets. Similar outrage may have inspired DDOT's "Pace Car" program urging residents to hold to 25 MPH on neighborhood streets and hold up cars behind them).

A daytime march is one thing-drums ALL day another thing altogether. If this was not so why would drums be so effective at harassing hotels that host racist conventions-or Daddy Bush during Gulf War I?
