As the president's motorcade made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol amid the tightest security in inaugural history, thousands of protesters along the parade route and nearby streets booed, chanted slogans and carried placards condemning Bush's policies. Some turned their back as the president drove past. Others yelled, "George Bush, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide." Among the forest of protest signs, some read "Blood is on your hands" and "Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam". Others called for electoral reform, gay rights, abortion rights and the use of renewable energy. "There are a lot of people dying overseas for nothing and I'm here to get my voice heard," said Bill Coffelt, 40, an engineer from Fairfax, Va. Protesters traded insults with cheering Bush supporters. In one area, police briefly sought to disperse with pepper spray demonstrators who hurled bottles, trash and snowballs at officers. At least one snowball hit Vice-President Dick Cheney's limousine, and Bush's limousine sped up to get past the commotion. One group of protesters carried hundreds of mock coffins along 16th Street, a thoroughfare leading to the White House, to remind Americans of casualties in Iraq. And an American flag was set alight just outside a security checkpoint. "It's beyond comprehension the damage this man has done," said Meredith Lair, 32, who just completed a doctorate in history at Pennsylvania State University. "I think it's horrifying what we're doing to Iraq," said Lair, who was carrying a sign that read, "Mr. Bush, under my mittens I'm giving you the finger." Police said there were at least 13 arrests, two for assaulting an officer and the rest for disorderly conduct or other violations. One was a man who embarrassed police four years ago by sneaking past security to get a handshake from Bush.
