The Aftermath

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008.

5th anniversary of the War in Iraq.

Anti-war protesters attempt to prevent the IRS from being opened.

Thursday, March 20th, 2008.

The anti-war protesters were unsuccessful.

The IRS continues on as usual.

No signs of a protest exist only a day after it took place.

The protestors had hoped to affect the flow of traffic in and out of the building.

But what was the worst they did?

Some red paint splashed on windows.

The gloominess of the area is overwhelming.

Large stone buildings surround passerbies.

Passerby’s who go on their way, unknowing of the ruckus that was caused the day before.

Standing in the empty street, there is an eerie feeling.

The IRS building stands strong on its foundation, unscathed from the activities the day before.

Is this a sign?

Does the triumph of the IRS building represent our government’s current stance on the War in Iraq?

Could this be a warning to the American people that the higher up powers have no intention of taking into account our views of the war?

Protesters attempted to reign over the IRS building.

They failed.
