NYC march

[juanpe]

Today in New York City, 500,000 people marched in solidarity with the rest of the world, denouncing policies of the U.S. government from every possible angle. After a 6-hour long march, protesters did not just pack up their signs and go home. Various autonomous contingents sprawled out across the city, doing everything from a "kick the heads of state" soccer game in Central Park, to jail solidarity demonstrations for those arrested, to a relentless verbal assault campaign on Republican delegates trying to hide out in Broadway theaters. "Republican scum! Your time has come!" was a chant that could be heard up and down the avenues this afternoon.

Did you know that when the Republican convention came into town that over 800,000 New Yorkers left town. A terrorist threat and elevetion of alert status couldn't even scare them out of town but the Republicans sure did.

Did you guys see the news footage of some protesters who got through convention security and in Madison square gardens?? Luckily, none of them were terrorists. Just hippees ....

I only hope that they can take that strwength in numbers to the polls. 500,000 New Yorkers protesting is one thing, but it takes a lot more than a protest to remove someone from office. Let's all cross our fingers.
