Stop Abusing Our Children

Stop Abusing Our Children
I arrived at the protest late, and probably missed the peak. I asked these two ladies, who were taking a break, and sat at a nearby bench, if I could take their photo, and they were nice enough to pose with the signs, that they had just put down. A forum thread about the rally is here.

note: Initially the face of the self-declared "undercover" cop (2nd from right) was pixilated. But, since then, I have revealed it, as I believe there is a serious threat to public safety from people who say they're police, fail to provide any ID, and who engage in secret/undocumented detentions.

Speaking against Condi in Calgary

Joanne Costello spoke to the crowd about Condoleezza Rice. The former U.S. Secretary of State was inside the Hyatt (off camera, to the right). You can read Costello's thoughts on Rice in the Marginal Notes blog entry titled "My University is Being Hijacked and Condi is Among the Terrorists!".

Wanting Justice for Condi

Wanting Justice for Condi
Not shown here, due to cropping, is a depiction of a Condi as an ugly witch, which I had mixed feelings on including, although I've shown worse in other photos, and might upload later. I don't think somebody's exempt from criticism or parody because of their gender or appearance, but caracturing somebody based on that, isn't exactly high brow commentary. A picture depicting some of the "enhanced interrogation methods" she approved of, would do more to convey the point intended.
