Five years after the Iraq invasion, protesters marched on the White House. Organized under "United for Peace and Justice," participants clothed in military uniforms, black hoods, or orange jumpsuits, congregated outside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Various signs protesting torture, gas prices, and the Bush Administration were waved back and forth as individual protesters passed a bullhorn and shouted messages towards the President's front lawn. "Impeach Bush!" was shouted, along with claiming a citizen's arrest and "come out with your hands up!"
At least one hundred persons dressed completely in black, wearing white hockey masks, and carrying a large name tags identifying themselves as a dead journalist or activist, walked silently in a circle as one man rang a large cow bell to signify death. The "March of the Dead," as it was identified, paraded up and down the sidewalk in front of the gates.
