Bush Visits Northern California
Protests Held as Bush Observes Earth Day in California
On Friday, April 21st, President Bush was in San Jose (1 | 2 | 3). A protest was held outside of Cisco Systems when Bush was scheduled to appear.
Toward the end of the rally, a half dozen Muslim youth gathered to pray a block from the protest zone. As the street was blocked off to traffic, the youth laid out make-shirt prayer mats in the bike lane and began their prayer ritual. Within moments, San Jose Police had them surrounded, and those that were not passive enough during questioning found themselves hand cuffed. Most were finally released at the scene of the crime after being issued tickets for jay-walking and obstructing traffic.
