All things considered, it was pretty successful!


Here is a link to one local news station's coverage of the protest.

I must point out that the numbers presented in that report are skewed, as there were about 150 of us protesting, and only 50 in attendance at the conference that morning--down from 150 the night before, and certainly down from the projected 700. The extra numbers the news people reported were from some of the protesters who went in to hear what was being said. The people leering at us, taking photos and videos from the Watchmen were almost all under the age of 20, I'm very sad to say.

In any case, there were no incidents, there were a lot of people driving by who honked their horns and waved, and perhaps the fact that this was a public relations fiasco for the Watchmen caused them to keep their inflammatory rhetoric to a minimum.
