Watch video: 3,500 Protesters Marched on DNC without Permit, Led by Iraq Veterans
"Protestors believe anti-war march was successful
DENVER - Thousands of anti-war protestors, who marched from the Denver Coliseum to the Pepsi Center on Wednesday afternoon, believe their efforts were worth it, saying they secured a meeting with the staff of the Democratic presidential nominee.
The initial, peaceful-but-unauthorized march, led by about 50 uniformed members of the Iraq Veterans Against the War, snaked through the streets of Denver for three hours during rush hour, heading down Brighton Boulevard, along Arapahoe Street, Lawrence Street, then down Speer Boulevard to the Pepsi Center, the site of the Democratic National Convention.
Once the massive group arrived at the DNC, guards locked the gates to the Pepsi Center and walked away. About 20 war veterans and 1,000 protestors remained at the gates. That number was down from what police estimated was about 3,000 to 3,500 people. Organizers had ballparked the size of the march at 12,000 at its height.
The veterans' mission was to deliver a letter to Sen. Barack Obama, requesting an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. They also wanted full health care benefits for returning troops and veterans, and reparations to the Iraqi people for damage caused by the war.
The march began at the Denver Coliseum following a Rage Against the Machine concert. The parade's size, which police in a helicopter estimated at 3,000 to 3,500, dwarfed the roughly 1,000 marchers who participated in Sunday's Recreate '68 march, which had been the largest protest march of the week.
As the march paraded through downtown Denver, it swelled in numbers, stretching three blocks in length. People on motorcycles and bicycles joined those on foot. Some people held signs that said "US out of Iraq" with red handprints and "No War on Iran." A few had the numbers of lawyers written on their bodies in case they were arrested.
Behind the veterans, protesters yelled: "Troops out now!" Jan Critchfield, 24, of Seattle said he served in Iraq in 2004, and after returning home, came to believe that the war was an "unlawful, immoral occupation."
He said now that he's back in the U.S., he thinks about what it's like for Iraqis living with U.S. forces in their country. "I just can't imagine driving through my neighborhood at home and seeing a security checkpoint," he said.
You may not have to imagine it much longer, bro.
Lindsay Mauro, 20, of Fort Collins carried a sign that said, "I like Boys, Not Bombs." She decided to join the march when she heard about it at the concert. "I definitely support it (the protest), I have a lot of friends in Iraq," she said.
Vietnam War Navy veteran Sylvester Williams stopped to take a look. "It was scary at first, but they're just marching. They're trying to be Americans, I guess," said Williams. "I was part of Vietnam and that was a hoax. This Iraq (expletive) is even worse."
The march started at the Rage Against the Machine concert, where the mood was both laid-back and political as the show got under way. A juggler performed on the sidewalk near a replica of a Guantanamo Bay prison cell. By the time Rage Against Machine took the stage, police estimated the crowd at 9,000.
