Update on Bio 2007 Protests

logoBIO1.gifWe saw headlines that the protests of Bio 2007 were "modest." And then we saw the headline that police had to don their riot gear for a protest at Faneuil Hall last night.

The Herald also noted the presence of a police helicopter above the hall. The Herald described the police-protester clash: "In a tense encounter, 50 protesters made their way to State Street near Fanueil Hall last night at 9, yelling expletives at a formation of cops in riot gear, but drawing little reaction." But no one got arrested, so the reactions to the protests seem decidedly mixed.

Were any of you there? Did you get pictures? We saw some of the news footage, and we have to give propers to the guy holding a sign in the shape of a carrot that said "BIO Doesn't Carrot All."
