Be glad the demonstration did not happen. Saves a lot of time and money that can be well spent elsewhere.
HrpO1 and Village Golfer can sing their songs of yesteryear but I am glad when either right wing extremist or left wing extremist things do not go as planned.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed; I was just a bit surprised. With the violent demonstrations happening over in Europe, and the memory of the WTO riots in Seattle in '99, I figured the agitators would have little trouble in roiling the masses of disenfranchised that I've been hearing much about.
It seems that so far the efforts and money spent by all those leftist groups to goad a Wall St. "riot" have fizzled. Maybe there's not enough people who are blaming business for their troubles and that pleases me greatly.
I feel better and better the more I think about it. You can figure out why.
