[*BCM*] NYC mass

[Ian Westcott]

Has everyone heard what happened at yesterday's mass in New York? 

The good news was it was apparently their largest mass ever, totaling 
more than 5,000 people.  The bad news is more than 250 of them were 
arrested. 

Check out some articles:
Village Voice: http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0435/ferguson.php
Indymedia: http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/08/295711.shtml

The Indymedia article also has some great links to photos, and even a 
3-minute video of the mob that crowded around three of the arrests at 
the end of the ride.

May we be thankful that this didn't happen in Boston last month.

P.S. - Was anyone there that can give an eyewitness account of all that 
happened?
