About 200 protesters now gathered at Franklin Park 14th & K..

They had 14th & K blocked for about 15 minutes, dispersed by air-powered rubber bullets.

Some repuke-looking guy in a suit and tie started messing with them and he nearly got his ass kicked. I think some punk grabbed his wallet, because he took off after him down the street...:rofl:

11. They weren't hitting anybody that I could see YET..

they seem to be firing them in the air as a warning to disperse.
