Protesters Mistaken For Dead Bodies

Protesters Mistaken For Dead Bodies
Rutgers Against the War (RAW) is known for its striking displays of political activism. One of the organization's trademarks is spontaneous die-ins, which basically consist of fake-blood splattered members lying still for a prolonged period of time as though dead, to remind viewers of those dying overseas.

During today's die in on Voorhees Mall (yes, everything happens there, pretty much), many passerby paused to comment on the display.

Police (to RAW member handing out leaflets): How many do you have down?
RAW girl: Um...six?
Police: I'm going to call for backup.
RAW girl: o_O
Police
: Just kidding.

Skater Dude: Wow, are those really dead bodies?
RAW guy: Um, no... it's a die-in.
Skater Dude: Totally thought those are real bodies.
RAW guy: .......
