§similar demo in NY

A similar demo in NY City (5 pm) had many thousands. All types, races. Very spirited and caught city by suprise (maybe) as very few police compared to recent peaceful protests. Theme was mostly end-the-occupation. Rally was to march towards UN (these things always are kept a block away) and the line thinned out. Big disruption to eve traffic. Event distorted on ABC tv news. TV cameras, as usual, huddled across the street trying to magnify the pitiful numbers of counter protesters. Should be good photos etc. on the web soon. BBC was there. Best part of this protest was cars honking supportively, and passer by people waving. When passer by people saw crowd with signs & Palistinian flags everyone knew what protest issue was. Also went well as event was VERY short notice. I heard about it on Pacifica radio.
