After a day of protests, the streets have finally calmed down. Earlier this afternoon, a variety of protest groups packed several downtown streets from Broadway and Colfax Avenue through the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall. Anti-abortion groups and Republican voters touting “Nobama” signs could be seen in front of the State Capitol. While no arrests were made this afternoon, heated tension between local police authorities and citizens was apparent. Military helicopters zoomed overhead during the peak protest times. Sunday afternoon was an early start to what is expected to be one of the largest organized protest efforts in the country.
City Park, where many protest groups will be making rounds, has been quiet.
Spike Lee is across the street from official BW DNC headquarters (Colfax and Steele) at Mezcal, a Mexican-themed bar on East Colfax, where he has expressed his anti-Fox News sentiments.
Tomorrow, we’ll be hitting the streets at 10 a.m. Stay tuned for more DNC updates.
