The larger group of protesters was peaceful, although they were challenged — as so many have been over the years — by the downtown St. Paul street grid. As the head of the march reached Cedar and 10th, marchers were supposed to turn right. Apparently confused rather than intent on civil disobedience, they slowly started through the intersection. That’s when a Star Tribune reporter, Randy Furst, approached organizers and asked if they knew they were headed in the wrong direction. Randy saved the day, the march turned right onto 10th and the police relaxed. Once again, public service journalism worked its magic.
Maybe they wanted to see how far turning left would take them.
They should’ve taken that left turn at Albuquerque.
That’s what their protesting reminds me of – cartoons!
If not for that reporter, these protesters probably would’ve just kept wandering. I get the feeling after days of travel, one would finally ask, “How the heck did we wind up in Philadelphia?”
