trailer break: ‘Battle in Seattle’

I'm with that one guy. "The BATTLE in Seattle?" Speaking as a resident of Seattle since 1992, I take exception to the idea that it changed the city forever. Sure I remember people across from the North Seattle office I worked in carrying picket signs and waiting for the bus downtown that morning, and I remember the local news reports about protest over whether or not to release those arrested for civil disobedience that day, but I also remember thinking the national news sensationalized it quite a bit more.

...And quite honestly that's all I remember about it. Well, that and friends across the country asking if I was alright and my laughing that of course I was. :)

Another resident of Seattle here. Wow, was that trailer melodramatic. Changed the city? Not for anyone who actually lives here.

Take a few mildly ornery protesters, a handful of kinda -sorta impatient cops, mix with a dose of Hollywood sensationalism and you get a "Battle"...

Good grief.
