Arrest Bush Protest--UPDATE

UPDATE - Photo gallery of protest photos now available here.

On the eve of Barack Obama’s inauguration, protestors marched through the streets of D.C. behind a banner demanding “Arrest Bush.” Protestors demanded that Bush and others in his Regime be held accountable for the crimes against humanity they have perpetrated, and ended their protest by throwing a barrage of shoes in the direction of the White House, in what Raw Story website called “a symbolic gesture of solidarity with Muntadar al-Zeidi, an Iraqi correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, who threw his shoes at President Bush as he gave a press briefing in Baghdad in Baghdad.”
