The event was one of the largest COVID-19 protests in Iowa since the pandemic started, more than 740 teachers signed up to attend the protest. After the protest officially ended, many teachers left the capitol and drove to Gov. Reynolds' residence, where they drove around her mansion and honked horns. Some people left notes on the entrance to the governor's residence. Gov.

Iowa's numbers of COVID-19 infections are up statewide.         PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 24 NOVEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Anti-government protestors blow whistles to make noise during their protest on Rathchdamnoen Ave in Bangkok. More than 400,000 people packed onto Ratchdamnoen Ave in Bangkok Sunday, continuing an anti-government protest that started weeks ago over a blanket amnesty bill passed by the Thai Parliament. The amnesty bill was defeated in the Thai Senate and the protest morphed into a general protest against the government. The protestors are allied with the Thai Democrat party, the opposition party in parliament. Tens of thousands of pro-government Red Shirts have come to Bangkok to defend the government and are rallying in a different part of the city. Police have warned of clashes between the two groups but as of Sunday evening no problems had been reported. The protestors allege that the amnesty would allow fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to return to Thailand.        PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 23 NOVEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Thai riot police uses their shields as umbrellas when they were caught in sudden downpour during training for a large anti-government protest in Bangkok Friday. Thai authorities have imposed the Internal Security Act (ISA), that enables police to call on the army if needed to keep order, and placed thousands of riot police in the streets around Government House in anticipation of a large anti-government protest Saturday. The group sponsoring the protest, Pitak Siam, said up to 500,000 people could turn out to protest against the government. They are protesting against corruption in the current government and the government's unwillingness to arrest or pursue fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, deposed in 2006 coup and later convicted on corruption charges. The current Thai Prime Minister is Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's sister.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 01 JUNE 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thais protest the loss of free speech by covering their mouths and putting their hands shaped as guns to their head during a protest against the coup in Bangkok. The Thai army seized power in a coup that unseated a democratically elected government on May 22. Since then there have been sporadic protests against the coup. The protests Sunday were the largest in several days and seemed to be spontaneous "flash mobs" that appeared at shopping centers in Bangkok and then broke up when soldiers arrived. Protest against the coup is illegal and the junta has threatened to arrest anyone who protests the coup. There was a massive security operation in Bangkok Sunday that shut down several shopping areas to prevent the protests but protestors went to malls that had no military presence.
