thankfully it seems like none of the snowballers this time around were dumb enough to do it in the middle of a major intersection and attack innocent passers-by...
afraid not doom. i went to the snowball fight at dupont but arrived after the huge crowd shown in the video. it was still a ton of people in the circle but the majority had moved to the intersection near starbucks. after a while everyone was at the intersection doing the north/south battle but the majority of them would stop that to throw snowballs at passing cars which included a few police cars and a few bicyclists.
one truck stopped and the passenger chased after someone, i guess someone that had thrown a snowball. dont know if he ever caught the person.
there were a few trucks that encouraged people to throw snowballs at them. one truck came by with a guy holding on to the back like he was water skying.
i felt bad for the people passing by in their cars. what was weird was they would stop at the red light while people kept throwing snowballs, i would've run the light. out of all the cars that went by only a few ran the light.
the police finally blocked off most of the circle entrances around 6 or so. people were still out throwing snowballs at each other when i left.
did anyone make it down to smithsonian?
