Black Bloc rushes Capitol in 1/27 DC war protest
From Yahoo News:
There were a few tense moments outside the Capitol when several hundred protesters tried to rush the building. Police scuffled and wrestled with some and eventually set up barricades and a police line to keep them at bay. The protesters shouted “Our Congress!” and some carried riot shields with the slogan “U.S. out of everywhere.”
Many of the protesters belonged to Students for a Democratic Society, an activist group founded in the 1960s by Tom Hayden (once married to Fonda) and others.
John Cronan, 23, from the Pace University chapter, said they were trying to send a different message than the main march. “These peace rallies really don’t get anything done. With Congress historically, you have to force them to do something,” he said.
