They absolutely did! I took pictures. Alas, this story did not make the news, but it SURE would have if I woulda tipped the first one over...I am quite sure the rest of them would have quickly fallen! A million women looking at padlock potties = definition of frustration. Dumped shot on Pennsylvania ave, yeah, that would have been news.

You can easily get good bolt cutters at Lowes or home depot. ( I like Home Depot because they require masks). Depending on the gauge of steel in the lock would determine how big of bolt cutters one would need. I think at least a foot of handle. Make sure you get the kind that has a mechanical advantage mechanism for really fast cutting/ease of use. And Practice on some locks so you know how to use them. ( I only say this, because, like with any tool, I've learned the hard way with the wrong tool or using it the wrong way.....many times.)
IтАЩm with Pamsy. My first thought was bolt cutters. Fuck the assholes who put padlocks on those doors, itтАЩs an easy fix. Porta potties do not come with padlocks. I donтАЩt think IтАЩve ever seen a padlock on a porta-potty. Not ever. Some jerk had to buy padlocks and walk down that line and install them.
Use your crowd as cover to get close, then no one can stop you from cutting the locks. Use another crowd to be loud/surprise with a diversion of peaceful chanting or something to divert attention.
Isn't there a peaceful protest handbook about this stuff? In Portland, Oregon, a large group of Mom's came out and made a human chain around the peaceful protesters that the mercenaries would not dare cross. That is power.
I would notify the Police. There is a spectrum to hate crimes. Be savy. Find female DC police officer to talk with or Female FBI agent. Set up the assholes next time. The agent will work with the Prosecutor to have those responsible sit in front of a female judge.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and "Hell hath no fury like...

Shit, shit!

Yup, it was really a strange and insulting sight. We all decided next peaceful march we would put a nice pair of boltcutters into our day pack!
And unfortunately they would arrest you for carrying a potentially deadly weapon!
Well, there's that too.

We just used the crowd as cover to pee outside close to the potties!
We figured, that's what men would do.
Assholes will try again.

Dirty tricks are not nice. Roger Stone is not nice.
Bolt cutters? IтАЩm not an anarchistic but when you gotta go, you gotta go!
So lame to do that
