Magnifisyncopathological: Running Through the Motions

Running Through the Motions

At the University of Texas, a crowd of more than 1,000 students and staff members began protesting the war at around noon Thursday.

The crowd walked to Guadalupe Street and many sat down. Yellow slips of paper describing how to conduct civil disobedience, including where protesters could place themselves to best avoid arrest, were distributed.

The leaflets feature the names of lawyers who can represent protesters if they are arrested.

The crowd, gathered in front of Tower Records, heard from UT Professor and longtime activist Bob Jensen who told them that the war will ruin millions of Iraqi lives and destroy that country.

"This war has nothing to do with the so-called liberation of the Iraqi people," Jensen told the cheering crowd. "And we say no."

I heard on KUT that these protests screwed up traffic around the Drag and campus area for hours.
