And ive covered a lot of these in the past. Today they say they hope to disrupt peoples lives. Thats really been the point of these protests all along because they said if they go somewhere where nobody will notice them, then nobody will notice them and no one will listen to them. These protesters are part of the d. C. Ferguson movement. They will be out here starting in about an hour at 7 00 at Mount Vernon Square.
