This was a classic case where adults knew exactly what they were doing when they saw the press cameras show up. The organizer of this event in Diamond Park to protest the state funding cuts and stalemate of the state budget passing, stopped the event and told everyone to gather the kids in the middle with their signs for a picture. I was going to ignore this as it was an event the adults understood, but not the kids. I was pressed for time and did snap some frames and this is what was in the paper the next day. It plays on the sympathy factor to get the point accross. Not something I wanted to do really, since I was there to not take sides. Meadville Tribune photo by Richard Sayer
