DNC 2008 :: Hillarama





Today Hillary spoke and gave a powerful if not predictable speech pledging her allegiance to Barack Obama and urging her fervent followers to do the same. Was a relatively mild day as far as protests go despite the police raiding a house where they found the makings for the dreaded 'feces bomb' which I can't help but find hilarious. Although, despite the relatively mild police action, fellow photographer Theo Rigby did directly observe a small girl dressed in pink and peace signs be violently slammed to the ground with an officers over-sized club with no provocation. As tensions rise and exhaustion sets in I imagine mistakes may be made but hopefully not.
