RNC 2008: Transforming From Citizen To Protester (Or Medic)



Photos By John Hoff, September 2

In the two photos above, a participant in the September 2 Poor People's Rally and March puts on a t-shirt, transforming from everyday citizen to protester...

I bought a shirt at the rally, but I made a point of NOT wearing it because I considered myself a blogger, and therefore media, and therefore in a neutral role. Such small gestures and distinctions meant nothing as St. Paul police fired into masses of people, letting God sort 'em out. Click here for a dramatic video.

The guy in the photo below had just pulled on the "medic" shirt a moment before. The shirt he wore underneath said "St. Paul Fire Department."
