From the anarchist web site, they claim this was at 4th & D, but it looks just like the beat-down I saw at 7th & D (the photographers were at that vantage point). I was at the edge of the crowd waiting to get to the checkpoint, about 15 yards to the right edge of the photo. A few minutes later a bunch of motorcycle cops showed up, wound their way through us from the opposite direction, then turned and formed a line facing us. They encouraged us to move away from the mess, back up the street, and away from the checkpoint, by gently edging their bikes into us. I'd had enough fun at this point, had waited an hour +, and figured it would take that long to clean up the situation. I went and had a beer at the Legal Seafood up the street, then went back to my brother's place to get ready for the FR Ball.
This was defintely at 7th and Penn. Idiots don't even know where they were standing obviously. I was there too, but ended up getting on the other side or the police barricade and getting in (eventually). Seems to me from all of the account, about 10-15 FReepers were all standing in that mess, its too bad we all didn't know beforehand, we could have all stayed together and gotten in. Kristinn told me he knew alot of themm never made it through.

I kept looking around but we can be hard to spot, LOL. I talked to one guy at the Ball who was there, but he was on the other side of the street.
Did you see a 6' redhead with a bomber jacket and aviator Ray-Bans?
