Took the pic at the article head as soon as I arrived at the demo 'round 2:20 PM. Don't know and never found out why the boys from ICE(the ones in black at the pic's centre)and Metro were parleying with some of the demonstrators.
But, however serious the matter might have been, it wasn't serious enough that anyone got a pair of esposas(Spanish for handcuffs and wives)slapped on 'em, Thank God.

This pic, like the pair of its kin above, I shot shortly after takin' the first one, so y'all can get some idea of the crowd size at the demo, 'round 2:30 PM or so that day.

This was taken at the info booth where one could pick up literature, sign a petition or two, or however many there were, make a donation, grab a sign, or get some free water and other goodies from Gail Sacco and her husband, Big Joe(both on pic's right).

This fella, with his decorated shopping cart, struck me as bein' one of the more colourful demonstrators at the event.
Have more pics of the 17th March demo to up-load here, and will do so to-morrow.
In the meantime, sorry for the awfully long delay in getting these up here, and hope that these, along with the others in this series, did the event some justice.
