New York protest live blogging
Written by: Beck
Over at
Right Thinking Girl. I hardly think this constitutes the "free expression of 1st amendment rights:"
Protesters have decided to exercise their "free speech" rights by filling bags and balloons with urine and lobbing them at policemen. This disgusting practice is going on westbound on 35th and Broadway. Stay clear.
In other protester news, the Bike Bloc is heading back to Union Station to regroup while a group calling themselves, "NO POLICE STATE" is knocking down barricades and attempting to penetrate the frozen zone around MSG.
In addition, there are groups that are passing out baskets of wirecutters and razor blades to cut the plastic Flexicuffs the police use to handcuff suspects under arrest. The subversive behavior is bad enough but when you equip thousands of protesters who refuse to police themselves with razor blades, that's a bad scene just waiting to happen.
Be sure to read through all the updates as well.
In other news, I'll be blogging the RNC for the next 4 days (and by live blogging, I mean watching TV and posting my comments--I'm not in New York). Be sure to check in during the prime-time hours to see what I have to say.
