Cindy Sheehan (not) Arrested in NYC

From DailyKos

"As Cindy was speaking, a large platoon of police massed behind from the interior of the park, then formed a circle behind her, the speakers' area and a few dozen people who were deployed in an arc behind her. Overall, about 200 people were in attendance, with the crowd steadily increasing in size as the rally progressed. As the police formed their arc just behind, the men and women immediately behind Cindy linked arms. A captain made a cutting motion at his throat, signalling he wanted no more free speech. He waited about 30 seconds, then the police moved in. They didn't dare arrest Cindy, but they immediately moved in and grabbed zool, the event's organizer and one of the main organizers of Camp Casey-NYC, pulling him away and arresting him. I do not believe anyone else was arrested; at least I didn't see any other arrests. I was nearby, and there was no hesitation on the part of the police in specifically targetting zool."

Thanks, Mayor Bloomberg. I guess Cindy wasn't willing to use one of those so-called "free speech" veal pens NYC used during the GOP convention.

Unbelievable!

Gee, you don't think that this will keep happening as Camp Casey makes it way to DC, do you? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Update: Cindy was not arrested, but her microphone was taken away. The organizer of the rally was arrested. There's more at AMERICAblog.
