San Jose Gaza Demo Halts Traffic & Shoppers
About 1,000 people marched through the tony Santana Row shopping district of San Jose today, stopping traffic and surprising shoppers. Some shouted "Stop shopping while bombs are dropping!"
Demonstrators handed out flyers to customers along the the privately owned half-mile wide confluence of streets. Reactions ranged from concern to confusion.
