How did tonight's protests go?

The media always underestimates our presence. Does anyone have the real numbers?

2. According to the nycindymedia site

There is one going on right now.

11:44 PM Order to disperse now given at 30th St. abnd 8th Ave. At 7th Ave and 29th people are agressively heckling Republican delegates and not (yet) being arrested for it.

12:05 AM Still no reports of mass arrests outside RNC.

12:54 AM 50 people are sitting in at 30th and 8th.

4. I met some people who had just left this one, around midnight.

They thought there were a few thousand there.

They said police were threatening to arrest anyone who didn't leave.

The heckling has gotten intense. People are just in a rage.

5. Indymedia says it was about 5-6000 were penned in earlier by

the police. After they were unpenned people marched and then many dispersed. But several hundred are still around heckling the delegates.

6. There were two - UFPJ, and A.N.S.W.E.R.

I met some UFPJ people. I heard A.N.S.W.E.R. was fairly small.

Heckling these pricks right in their face is just so richly deserved. All they care about is their own comfort. They have ruined our week. It's good to ruin theirs.

3. I yelled out my front door when busholini came on.

My neighbor lady across the street helped me out. It was sweet of her.

There were a few other of us in the neighborhood, pretty funny.
