Valentines Day Protest....



Accidentally came across a protest this evening.
Kind of puts things into prospective when you are getting ready to celebrate a romantic evening and you come across a group of heart sick people screaming "WE WANT JUSTICE!" .
The people protesting were Tamils, if you want to know more about their cause, here is the website listed on the pamphlet they gave us.
There are lot of Tamil people living in our area so I'm not surprised to see a protest here.
Sorry for the poor quality of the photos, it was getting dark and they are cell phone photos.

Ah, not protesting Valentine's Day- that's what I thought at first from the little blurb in the blogger reader thing.

LOL! Now that you mention it, that title could be interpreted in a couple different ways......
"Accidentally came across a protest this evening.

But no, um this was fairly serious, they were beating loud drums and yelling out about justice. They gave us a pamphlet, and some of the stuff in there was really, really scary. It made me feel very thankful that all my family is safe and not living in war zone.......
