I attended my share of protests in Austin around the turn of the century (turns to dust lol) and I saw cops being cops (= bastards), but I never saw them like in that pic, all tricked out in surplus military gear

2003-2006 there, and I was Texan staff. I saw many many Bush era protests.

wonder if we had any crossover

Ah, yeah, @ChrisJValdez and I were yukking it up over in Nacogdoches at Stephen F. Austin in 02.

I joke I visited a friend at UT for Spring Break in 2003 and just never left. Slightly overstated, but basically true. I just went there to hang out with him, but ended up realising I should have gone there in the first place. I'm just lucky to have found a last-minute back door in, on the merits I shouldn't have been able to even do that much--competition being what it was.
