Republican National Convention – New York City
Convergence on Manhattan by those opposed to Bush was widespread, peaceful and unfortunately harassed by a politicized NYPD.

Above -- Jesse Jackson and 499,999 +/- others head for Madison Square Gardens
The convergence’s centerpiece was Sunday’s march where half a million people took seven hours passing Madison Square Garden, site of the RNC. Acting as book ends to Sunday’s historic action satellite events scattered throughout Manhattan created another kind of convention as large as the Big Apple itself representing labor, pro choice, and the peace movement. In the end what will be remembered is the huge display of people power and a government more concerned with media appearance than civil rights.
Photos from the Disruption of Bush's Speech - including protest banner A MUST SEE!!

With something like 36,000 cops dedicated to “ RNC Security” the NYC tactics for containment dished up less red meat police attacks than those used in Miami while still managing to trample the right of free assembly.

USA, Nation of lies and soon flies
The older vet with the Bush Wanted poster should beware. The Secret Service will question him to see if he would do anything with the president.
I would simply like the dead children under his dead boot to rise up against him and his coup d'etat regime Billionaire Republican/Democrat.
The USA is over. All rights are gone. It is time for a new plan, or maybe a decent bomb shelter with air and water purification systems.
Old guy in the pic, "It is going to get a whole lot worse."

USA, Nation of lies and soon flies
All of those people are arrested and a handful of us see their pictures. So what? Now what?
It will take much more than putting yourself in harms way in front of a bunch of mercenaries for our enemies in the regime Republican/Democrat.
It is too bad many can not vote and that votes are not counted like tax returns via our computer terminals.
America has always been a lie. The question becomes, "Who or what is leading our nation, our world to our deaths?"
By the old clock on the wall, I can see it is time for a whole new strategy using some of the older strategems.
