It was a beautiful day for a march and the lack of turnout didn’t diminish the enthusiasm of the thirty or so anti-war protestors. They started at Marion Square led by a guy with a missle on his head and made their way down King to the Customs House and then down East Bay for a loop. I guess this the most visible dissent Charleston can muster in the face of war fatigue. What was strange to me was the few signless stragglers who stripped a palm tree and held the leaves aloft shouting “join us”. I was really looking forward to seeing some downtown shopper drop their bags of J.Crew goodies and jump in line with the trumpet spouting peacniks and actually “join them”.
Anyway, here’s some shots:

Wasnt this on the 15th? I was walking from my work (MUSC) to Big Johns to grab a beer and saw this going on. At first I thought it was a pub crawl but then I realized it was just a bunch of hippies.
