On Feb. 15th anti-war protesters took over first Avenue from the 40's to the 70's which goes right past my bf's home on the Upper East Side . I found them to be quite intrusive. We couldn't just sit at home and watch a movie or listen to music because of the noise of the celebrity's speeches. We also couldn't go out because it was too crowded. When they finally dispersed, they left an incredible mess and graffiti reading "Stop Bush War" on stores and buildings and awnings. They destroyed private property.
Today they have taken over Herald Square which is on the West Side. Personally, I think that this protest is worse because we are at war. As lovelyivy wrote, "We are AT war." Protests won't make a difference now.
KillarneyRose, there will always be people who are rude and don't know when to keep their mouths shut. It's unfortunate that a child and a pregnant wife of a reservist have to be subjected to that. A teacher and a nurse ought to know better than to say those things. The men and women in the military are brave, and they and their family members ought to be respected.
