And by 1:55pm, the ghost of 1968 had left us, and the group was confirmed to have disappeared.

@Big Man on Campus Way to change the world you young, upper middle class guilt-stricken slackers! :)
@I passed by at around 12:55, but I didn’t see them. I guess they were too small to be noticed.
@Recent protests It wasn’t in BwogLines, so you might not have seen it:

To give them credit, that was a pretty fast response time from protest to solidarity.
@Well People were prepping for this well before the actual date.
@anybody who walked by know what they were actually advocating for? “solidarity with iran” doesn’t say much
@green solidarity with Iran refers to solidarity with the protesters active during June after the rigged elections (and still active in fact). They are mainly, but not all, Mousavi supporters – if you ever see green, it’s Mousavi’s color – but generally are opposed to the current illegitimate regime.
@anonymous they were there around 1pm when i walked by. still pitiful…
So, exactly what are they protesting? They want us to support the government of Iran? I thought the cool thing to do was to support Mousavi or whoever really won the election.
@green they’re wearing green, which means it’s a Mousavi rally, or more accurately an anti-regime rally.
@not true I saw them there as I walked to class at about 12:50. But nice try.
@um ridiculous?
