DC is well known as a magnet for freaks and weirdos who, in their desire to be heard, exercise their right to protest. The area on the North side of the White House is a particularly popular place for these deranged, bat guano crazed harebrains to gather, because it’s an area with a lot of foot traffic and no automobile traffic other than an occasional Secret Service or Park Police vehicle. Some of the more interesting protests included a group that calls itself “the bloodstained men,” which also includes some masculine-looking women, tossing some red paint on the crotches of their white pants, and protesting circumcision.
