One of my friends works in the city, near the protesters and the police.

It would be interesting to be out there right now. I'd like to see for myself all the different kinds of people that have gathered. What does each person hope to accomplish? Obviously, they all want the war to stop. But for what reasons? There are the main reasons, and I imagine there are hundreds of other different reasons the people are protesting. I'd like try to find them out by watching and listening to each person in person.
