A group of protesters have gathered in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, blocking traffic along some corridors. DCist’s Fredo Alvarez captured these two images, one of the protesters (we’re told they are an anti-war group, carrying signs with messages varying from identifying themselves with Students for a Democratic Society to “Make Funk, Not War”), and the other of an MPD vehicle that’s been splattered with red paint. We don’t have many reliable details at this point, but we’ve heard that for at least part of their march, the group went the wrong way down 19th Street NW, causing a lot of traffic backup, and that they were also spotted near M Street NW between 16th and 17th, creating a traffic jam there as well. Several reports indicate the police response appears to be disproportional to the small number of protesters (maybe the going down the wrong way on a one-way street had something to do with that?). We’ll update with more soon.
