The pro-hamas rally that wasn't....

During today’s “Radio Deli”, host Dirk Thompson mentioned a pro-hamas rally was going to be held at 5pm this afternoon. Neither website, the MSA (OSU chapter) or ANSWER, had posted details for this impromptu demonstration. Returning busloads of Washington DC rally-goers were expected to assemble at the corner of North High Street and 15th Avenue. Even though I live 15 minutes away, I didn’t want to make a senseless trip to OSU. As the clock ticked I grew anxious and figured there was no harm in taking a quick drive and if there happened to be protesters I’d snap a couple shots.

As we neared the location I really thought we were too late. But the closer we got I could see what appeared to be no more than a dozen WASP’s at the demonstration site. Not one muslim in sight.

Nick, my trusty chauffeur, pulled down a side street so we could double back enabling me to snap a photo or two.

That group of people you see there on the left is the "rally". I surely would have missed them had I not been looking.


Holding makeshift signs and shouting to passing traffic, I found it funny that no one from the ummah showed up to demonstrate with these pitiful folks.

And finally we have the last quarter of the demonstrators, all three of them.

Had I known this rally was going to be so pathetically small I would have dressed a little warmer and ventured out of our truck to get a few interviews. Even I could have fended off this angry mob, or at least ran away, had my questions irritated them.
