Blocked by OccupyDC Protesters

Eliza Vielma: The Occupy DC protesters blocked EVERY door of the
convention center so no one could get out (a clear fire code violation).
This was one blogger, Bill Smith, trying to open the doors.
They kept pushing it back so he couldn't leave.

Bill Smith: Eliza Vielma of AFP Texas took the above photo of me trying to convince OccupyDC protesters to allow several of us to leave the Washington Convention Center (D.C.) via a side entrance. Note that all the doors were blocked by the bodies of protesters. The cameraman with the long hair was also taking pictures but at this point in time, still do not know if he was a friendly or not.
