Watch as CNN's Joe John's reports on the anti-war protestors in St. Paul.

(CNN) – Upwards of 5,000 anti-war protesters marched peacefully outside the site of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul Monday, but some anarchists in the group threw newspaper stands and bus benches into the streets as well as broke storefront windows.

Police dressed in riot gear and some on motorcycles chased them around the city blocks to the amusement of several onlookers.

So 5,000 people show up with signs and parade around like fools, break storefront windows of businesses, throw bus benches into the streets, and turn over news stands. What was their purpose to being with? Sounds to me like a bunch of degenerates with nothing better to do.

Barack Obamas mother Stanley Ann Dunham was17 when he was concieved ,25 days short of her 18th birthday.Obamas father had another wife in kenya named Kezia who had a baby named Auma in 1960.Barack Obama SR had a total of 4 wives during his lifetime and 8 children.When Stanley Ann Dunham got remarried to Lolo Soetoro they had a daughter named Maya.Lolo worked as a manager for Mobil Oil believe it or not in Indonesia.The reason why Ann Dunham's first name is Stanley is that her father wanted a boy not a girl,and this is how the bad relationship got started between them.If you really wanted to get back at your father go have a baby with a black man from kenya and a girl with an Indonesian man,then let your parents take on a half black child.

what ridiculous war does mccain often speak of winning at the expense of other people's kids?

Yay...go protestors go! Your beautiful images of hate and despair will only ensure a McCain/Palin win in November.

I hope one of those protest signs asks Nancy Pelosi why she didn't start impeachment proceedings against Bush.

Having just come home from that march with my children, I'd say that at least 20,000 people showed up for the events beforehand and the subsequent march. The streets were packed from the Capitol all the way to the Excel Center.

The NEW democrats are so full of Hate against fellow Americans that you would think they would be PRO war.

It makes no sense to me- hate on each other while denouncing hate.

CLS from DOC   September 1st, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Come on people, we all know that McCain is not the right choice for AMERICA. BARACK the vote people. McCain is old new from a time gone by. Give Obama a chance and watch AMERICA get restored to her former Glory.

Obama/Biden 20008

Just as long as they are not hurting anyone, they have every right to protest. I side with them, of course.

Obama/Biden '08

Elect me   September 1st, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Most democrats voted for the war. Most Americans supported going to war out of vindictive rage.

I opposed it from the start. I should be elected president for that stand.

Jeff, North Dakota   September 1st, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Outstanding! The message is clear: We are opposed to Bush's war of terror in Iraq.
