The first "big" protest: More pictures from the March on the RNC
Posted by Chip Weiner on Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 7:06 PM
The March on the RNC began this morning with a rally at Perry Harvey Sr. Park. Marchers then took to the streets of downtown Tampa on the designated parade route, terminating in one of the public viewing areas assigned by city officials. There were no big commotions or serious interactions with the police, who were ever-present but seemed to abide by what city officials had promised — to protect both the city and freedom of speech. CL's Mitch Perry has more on the smaller-than-expected rally here.

The main message
Red white and blue anarchy
No pictures! It's one of the hardest things to understand....why show up at a protest rally with hundreds of media in attendance, then block your face?
Umm...is that Mitt???
Some of the harder-working photographers walked the route...and some ...well
Dude! Wrong party...
