Protest on campus
I meant to say this earlier, but it slipped my mind. There was some sort-of protest on campus last friday that a couple buddies of mine & I happened upon. Actually, they had guitars with distortion and were strumming REALLY hard. Anyway, so two caucasian guys and one arabian guy were hooked up out the back of this minivan, and one of the guys had a very small American flag on his head, and in retrospect, my guess is that he was going for the turban look, though didn't really accomplish it that well, but you could tell that's what he was trying to do. The Arabian? He wore a shirt that said "My Dad flew a plane into the WTC and all I got was this shitty t-shirt."
There were about 20 people standing around, confused, and not understanding what was going on, the guy with the flag-turban would tell a few jokes to make fun of the shit that has happened, then the other two would start strumming their guitars for a few seconds, i guess for emphasis of the joke. They were told in such a way that it was really hard to comprehend, they weren't above my head, just so random and hard to tell whether he was for us or against us, that no one did anything. Campus cops responded within 5 minutes, I'd say, and that's when we saw the guys shirt....with his guitar, and our blank, expressionless, stares into space, vacant of all understanding, we'd somehow missed the shirt's words. They packed their shit up quickly and the cops got all their id's and such, as soon as the Arabian thought he might be going to jail, he took off his shirt (he had an undershirt). We stayed for maybe 15 minutes, but the cop was just questioning them, taking down info, and all that good stuff that whole time, so I'm not sure if they were ever arrested, but I really hope so. Isn't that F-ed up? I wish some of my buddies had been there, and the cops wouldn't have responded so quickly...my buddies on the football team would have stomped all three of the pricks.
