Protests in New York

Doomsayers are predicting more than just the usual chaos and shenannigans when the Republicans congregate in New York in the week before Labor Day. In retrospect, their choice to hold their convention in New York as close to the 9/11 anniversary now seems a poor one, but I believe that New York of all cities has the capacity to handle protest and not see a return to the debacles of 1968 Chicago or the WTO fiasco more recently in Seattle. New Yorkers do not suffer fools gladly. Your Call Archive
