\nto the LIA staff. The only point at which anyone from LIA
\ncame out to talk to anyone was to deliver copies of their

\nOne of the protesters gave Brandon her poster and I’m

\nthem making it and a bunch of other good ones just before
\nthe first anniversary protest last year. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n![\"](\"\/photos\/IMG_2819.jpg\")
