RNC A 29 After Party Video

This clip is coming out late because it was to be included in the Glass Bead Collective's Watch This! This footage may or may not be included in the post election cut of that documentary. Think of this as a directors cut.

On August 29th over a 1/2 million people took to the streets of New York to protest the Republican agenda at a UFPJ sponsored March that ended at Union Square where the protestors were told they would have to disburse, so they did. Disburse is not the same as "go home". 1/2 million people disbursed throughout the city. Some went to Central Park even though they were told that was not an acceptable place for "protestors" to disburse to. Those defiant Central Parkers enjoyed a nice day in the park; while many of those who disbursed compliantly ... to other parts of the city, were arrested unjustly... pre-emptively ... Mini Marches weaved themselves through Mid Town Manhattan in hopes of running across some Republican Delagates to communicate their displeasure to. Times Square was the focal point of Mouse Block, Kissing Queers and Anti-Authoritarian affinity groups and for several hours became a make shift detention facility as Police fenced in hundreds of people. Most ended up @ pier 57. Meanwhile, bike riders were being attacked by unmarked scooter Pigs and independent media and medics were being taken off the street for 20 - 40 hours.
Freedom American Style circa 2004.
