A protester uses a megaphone to lead the crowd in chants during a peaceful protest Thursday September 4, 2008 on the final day of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN. Protesters' marching permit expired at 5 pm, but many continued to march. A large group sat down in the middle of John Ireland Boulevard directly in front of the police line that had formed to close off the bridge and access to downtown St. Paul.
