On a cold and drizzly morning, thousands gathered near the U-S Capitol building on Saturday for a glimpse of the inauguration of George W. Bush.
Security checkpoints slowed the crowds down... more than a dozen law enforcement agencies are on hand for the inaugural events, with about 7,000-thousand officers and miles of steel fencing.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"So far so good, we're just getting started letting people in. We've got a long way to go yet, a lot of people, but nothing that can't be handled. Everything is pretty orderly."
SUPER CAPTION: DC Police Chief Charles Ramsey
Hours before Bush was to take the oath of office, groups of protestors gathered throughout Washington chanting, waving anti-Bush signs, and at one point, slashing tyres on automobiles.
The demonstrators have diverse agendas but are united by their anger over the contested U-S election and mistrust of George W. Bush.
Police predicted the weekend demonstrations would be the largest inaugural protests since 1973.
Organisers expect as many as 20-thousand people will take part...
Despite huge numbers of law enforcement officials to head off any rioting, organisers insisted the protests would be peaceful and that any violence would be the fault of police.
The protestors included more than a hundred people from the New Black Panther Party.
