Recreate 68 scheduled a "major" protest for "prisoners' rights" on Monday afternoon. The event seriously fizzled, with perhaps 200 protesters at most. The march ended outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Denver. Here, a Recreate 68 devotee watches two masked wannabe terror boys "guard" one of the speakers (out of the frame off to the left). Notice radical firebrand and fake Indian Ward Churchill in the background.

Here he is up close, in his typical off-putting pose.

Sometimes, even a feeble, flopped protest can take all the energy out of you.

In the protesters' fantasy world, they were going to assault or invade the courthouse in some way, but several massive contingents of police guarded every entrance. In fact, overall, the police outnumbered the protesters.
