There were multiple protests across the state and a few that took place in other states as well, including <a href="http://&lt;object width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;340&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.ireport.com/themes/custom/resources/swfplayer/mediaplayer.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;menu&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;height=340&amp;width=448&amp;autostart=false&amp;autoscroll=false&amp;showstop=false&amp;showicons=false&amp;showdigits=total&amp;controlbar=0.1&amp;backcolor=0xFFFFFF&amp;screencolor=0x000000&amp;frontcolor=0xDEDEDE&amp;lightcolor=0x00A2FF&amp;logo=http%3A//www.ireport.com/themes/custom/resources/swfplayer/data/images/ireport_wm.gif&amp;file=data/media/silence.flv&amp;image=http%3A//i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2008/11/09/WE00142571/294716/Anon1226208919-ProtestAtSLCLDSTemplePart2609173_lg.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.ireport.com/themes/custom/resources/swfplayer/mediaplayer.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; menu=&quot;false&quot; flashvars=&quot;height=340&amp;width=448&amp;autostart=false&amp;autoscroll=false&amp;showstop=false&amp;showicons=false&amp;showdigits=total&amp;controlbar=0.1&amp;backcolor=0xFFFFFF&amp;screencolor=0x000000&amp;frontcolor=0xDEDEDE&amp;lightcolor=0x00A2FF&amp;logo=http%3A//www.ireport.com/themes/custom/resources/swfplayer/data/images/ireport_wm.gif&amp;file=data/media/silence.flv&amp;image=http%3A//i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2008/11/09/WE00142571/294716/Anon1226208919-ProtestAtSLCLDSTemplePart2609173_lg.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;">Salt Lake City </a>where a group of about 2000 people took to the streets in front of the Mormon Tabernacle. There weren't any altercations that I'm aware of at the Long Beach protest that&nbsp;we attended and there was more of a community spirit, as well as&nbsp;a strong desire to make a statement and a concerted effort to be a part of a peaceful action. All in all a very good night and we even managed to fit in a little bit of fun too which probably explains why my head is a little fuzzy today.<br /><br /><br /><br /><lj-embed id="1" /><br /><br />
