'Nope'

There were all kinds of people at the protest, and lots of them.

*****

We went to a protest on Saturday at the US Capitol, just to see what was going on. A large group of people protesting the nomination and subsequent confirmation of Brett Kavanagh to the US Supreme Court had stormed the steps of the Capitol and stayed there until they were led away by the police one by one and arrested. We were in a large, very emotional crowd in front of them, taking pictures.

Regardless of whether one favors his confirmation or not, I believe this was a case of democracy in action.

Among the first of the arrests, posted earlier:

Sony RX10 IV
1/800s f/5.6 at 10.2mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A powerful shot with these two protesters. I like how the scene is repeated on the cell phone screen.

My word, you were there to capture the action.

electric capture...once again the 1% win and the 99% are left twisting in the wind...admire these peoples' commitment, although their efforts are doomed to be in vain....
