Wes and I take the vigil to Las Vegas. This shot was taken not long before someone chucked a Gatorade bottle at me.

A Buddhist came up to talk about the vigil and let us know we had his support.

While we think that the majority of Guantánamo detainees are not “our enemies”, we believe those who genuinely are should also not be tortured. Hence the quote from Jesus.

New signs were quickly whipped up for this week’s vigil since the ones from Des Moines wouldn’t fit in our bags. Unfortunately, the only poster board we could find that was made in the USA was pretty flimsy. Thankfully it wasn’t very windy, but the temperature was over 100 degrees. Not a fun day to wear the hood.

Drivers often paused for awhile to stare at us, even when the light turned green.

No homophobic remarks this week? Wow. I guess Des Moines citizens are more afraid of homosexuals than Las Vegans.
