(en) US, Media, Anarchists March and Attack Businesses in DC on Eve of Inauguration

At midnight on the eve of Obama's second inaugural march, around 75 anarchists marched in 
northwest DC. ---- Carrying black flags and two large black banners reading, "Fuck Every 
Cop, Fuck Every President" and "No President Can Give You Freedom," the marchers chanted 
and periodically hurled stacks of pamphlets into the air. ---- Several businesses were 
targeted, including banks and the notoriously sexist establishment Hooter's. ---- Despite 
being followed and almost surrounded by police, the crowd eventually dispersed with, 
reportedly, no arrests. ---- From handbills found on site: ---- "This world gives our 
generation no future. There will be no American Dream for us -- only a slow decline of the 
wallet and of the soul...In rage at the storefronts and surveillance cameras and police of 
this city, we present this small act of rebellion...

The armed goons no longer intimidate us, the ballot boxes no longer distract us, the empty 
promises hold no more meaning."

From mainstream media coverage:

"Around 60 protesters damaged property around midnight Sunday to Monday morning around the 
700 through 900 blocks of 7th Street NW, MPD officials say.

Police located 3 separate locations of damage:

1. DVA Federal Credit Union ATM at 800 K St. NW. The front of ATM screen was completely 
smashed.

2. TD Bank at 901 7th St. NW. A window was smashed and yellow paint was thrown on a side 
window.

3. Hooters at 825 7th St. NW. A window was smashed out by a man wearing a black mask.

The group also dropped pamphlets on the ground near the TD Bank. The pamphlets said, 
"Against Every Cop. Against Every Boss. Against Every President."

The group dispersed in several directions and police were not able to make any arrests.

D.C. police are taking the incident seriously and are working on obtaining surveillance 
video and further investigating the incidents."
