Well the DNC is running full force here in Denver. In fact I guess its just about over. When I got home on Sunday we spent some time on the Banjo Billy Bus touring the madness. Naturally I brought my camera along for the ride to document the insanity.
This first sign that things were definitely a little bit different than normal was this guy.
He was riding a bike on the far side of Denver where few DNC events were occurring wearing a bunny suit. When asked where he was going he responded “To the Freedom Dance Off!!” then smiled for his photo to be taken.
Moving closer to the madness the traffic became heavier and I got my first glimpse of the fully decked out officers ready for an all out attack on the city.
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that our soldiers in Iraq don’t have this much armor.
The streets were swarming with protesters on pretty much every block.
And then there was this group.
They could be seen all over the city wearing orange and black bandanas around their necks. Initially it wasn’t clear exactly what they were united against or for, until later in the day when they were responsible for screwing up traffic all across the city as they “took back the streets”. I have more images of their confrontation with the police which I’ll post at another time alongside some sort of rant.
Even the kids were out sharing their feelings about the DNC. A whole mess of them were protesting abortion in front of the Colorado Convention Center. They were seriously around the age of 13. I guess 13 year olds have beliefs too…
On every corner someone was selling something. I even saw Barack Obama bottled water!
And then there is the next image. You have to click if you want to see it, but please note that it is likely a disturbing image for most people.

The city has been inundated with billboard trucks driving the streets carrying these images and Pro-Life messages. I’m Pro-Choice all the way and while I find the image to be pretty brutal (it’s a dead baby if you didn’t look) it in no way sways my personal opinion. In fact I was pretty stoked when one of these trucks miscalculated the distance between its billboard and the Banjo Billy Bus metal roof and managed to cut a giant line through the middle of the sign.
More images of the madness soon….
