No Respect for the Left

As I was driving home from work last night around 9pm, I got stuck in gridlock traffic. Not a shock for DC or the surrounding area normally, but last night was different. I was stuck in traffic because of a protest. The World Bank is holding its annual meeting at its main offices here in DC and of course people are protesting. But last nights protest was not at the World Bank, it was in Georgetown. They were not protesting the University, just the area because it is a symbol of "excessive wealth and privilege." Protest all you want but be nice about it. One woman who was with friends having a good time was hit in the head with a brick, obviously no one was arrested. The freedom of speech is a very important right, but businesses should not have to close early to board up their store fronts for fear of vandalism. Obviously the city of DC will not do anything, they re-elected a mayor who was on camera doing coke and crack with a stripper and they continue to elect that same man as a City Commissioner event though he has been convicted of tax fraud multiple times and still has not paid his taxes this millennium.
