<p>This morning a very small faction of possible IMF/World Bank Protesters&#8211;six jerks&#8211;<a href=" http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/04/25/six-jerks-arrested-for-vandalizing-banks/">vandalized two banks on P Street</a>. A drive through downtown and in the surrounding area shows that the protesters did not hit any other banks or symbols of crass yuppiedom/corporate greed. The biggest crowds were the ones gathering at a street food cart. The biggest police/fire department scene concerned a man passed out on 16th Street just below Columbia Road.</p>
<p>If the protesters really wanted to do harm to District residents, disrupt their Saturday brunch rituals, they screwed up. Two takeaways from this incident: The protesters don't know anything about D.C, and city residents showed serious courage by not staying indoors on this beautiful day. Here's a rundown of safe activities that residents are currently enjoying.</p>
