Hi ShiroKuro, Thanks...it never would of occurred to me not to take photographs as that is why I would be at such an event ... How will this change your approach if at all other than just being careful ? As I read it they have an actual mandate to single out photographers and punish them . It will Be interesting to see the images coming out of the Chicago protest .....
First of all, there are some indications that some of these violent acts (may be not the ones directed toward photographers, but not sure...) are not done by the "real" protesters. I hope the truth will come out.
As for what I would personally do, I'd be careful Also, while I am pretty small (5'4" Chinese dude), I do know how to take care of myself, if you know what I mean. The smaller Leica (and the XPan) probably helps a little as they don't look as "pro" as a big Nikon or Canon///
