According to their announcement, 32 groups were supposed to decend on the Army Experience Center, a recruiting station in the mall. You can tell that apparently every other person had his own organization &#8211; there were 100-150 people there by my estimation from the pictures and videos I&#8217;ve found.

Sure enough, the eventual call for donations was raised, and to their credit the protesters appeared to pony up a few dollars.  Why those who planned to be arrested (and I have no doubt that is exactly what they planned) did not have sufficient funds for bail prior to attending the protest is beyond me.  Or maybe they planned to prey upon those whose heart is in the right place but whose brain resides snugly up their fourth point of contact.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Some one needs to explain this sign to me, though; <\/p>\n<p>  <a title=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (15) by jlilyea, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/3919537386\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3522\/3919537386_c8d3d76c18.jpg\" alt=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (15)\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a> Believe it or not, there are people who don&#8217;t qualify for membership in the IVAW, but they can still buy an IVAW  groupie T-shirt;  <a title=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (40) by jlilyea, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/3917047151\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2628\/3917047151_65b9c393a6.jpg\" alt=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (40)\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a> I&#8217;d like to do a FOIA on this one;  <a title=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (38) by jlilyea, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/3917047083\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2489\/3917047083_99a27a6737.jpg\" alt=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (38)\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a> I saw this Code Pinker in the crowd;  <a title=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (19) by jlilyea, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/3918693393\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3519\/3918693393_8ef66a0d12_o.jpg\" alt=\"Army Experience center 9-12-2009 (19)\" width=\"238\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>  I saw Bill Perry in the video before the event, but he wasn&#8217;t in the march to the mall and I don&#8217;t see him in any of the pictures inside the mall;  <\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Bill Perry AEC by jlilyea, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/3918700149\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2507\/3918700149_ce61f458d3_o.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Perry AEC\" width=\"221\" height=\"247\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p> MayDayOG told me that there were more chiefs than indians, which is the norm these days.
