Bell 'Prayer Protests' Attempt To Disrupt City Traffic

Bell 'Prayer Protests' Attempt To Disrupt City Traffic
NEW YORK - Crowds of protesters are marching around the city Wednesday as they engage in civil disobedience in response to the acquittals of three detectives in the killing of Sean Bell.

Sharpton plans to get arrested
After blasting President Bush and the nation's immigration policy Sunday, the Rev. Al Sharpton said he plans to get arrested in New York on Wednesday as part of a civil disobedience demonstration to protest the Sean Bell verdict.
Sharpton, the Brooklyn-born civil rights activist, said he plans to get arrested at One Police Plaza at 3 p.m. to protest last month's acquittals of three New York police detectives in the 50-shot barrage that killed Bell, who was unarmed.

Detectives To Fight Civil Rights Charges Over Bell Verdict
NEW YORK - The union representing three detectives cleared in the slaying of Sean Bell are in Washington, D.C., Wednesday to oppose federal civil rights charges against the officers. Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives' Endowment Association, will meet with Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Manhattan) in two separate meetings.
The talks will happen about the same time that protesters fan out across Manhattan and Brooklyn to decry last month?s acquittals. Demonstrators, led by the Rev. Al Sharpton, will engage in civil disobedience and expect to get arrested.

GOOD!

This prayer protest has been all over the media so people who don't have their heads in their asses should've known there would be disruption. But...where's the riot resulting from the terrorist threat?

Besides the following from the story; it is also matinée Wednesday in NYC's theater district.
As well as start of rush hour in the area.
Just heard a report that most of the B&T's are now closed.
"As far as disruptions, it?s finals weeks for NYU, Fordham, Brooklyn Law School and other city colleges.
Students got an e-mail blast Tuesday urging them to give themselves extra time to get to their exams because of the planned protests.
Children who take school buses in New York City were sent home with notes Tuesday, according to the Department of Education. The notes warned parents about possible delays in getting their kids home because of Wednesday's protests. "

Let us all see just how this all pans out.

The people in NYC have been inconvenienced for less. They will be O----K.

Influence people in NYC? I'd rather continue influencing the people that I influence elsewhere.
