The story certainly leaves some things out of context, but on the surface at least it sounds like the mayor and/or NYPD has suspended "the right of the people peaceably to assemble," re:
"Reports come in that 20 or so of the Bike Bloc cyclists are already being arrested, and suddenly we notice that police have surrounded our own gathering. A legal person advises that we disperse. "Do we have a formal plan?" a woman in pigtails asks Sims. "Disband and Run," he says." Doesn't seem like a place worthy of a penny of anyone's travel budget. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mitchell Nussbaum Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 5:38 PM To: bikies Subject: [Bikies] From the Nation: What's a protest without a bicycle The online edition of The Nation has a nice report on bicycles and the RNC protests in New York: http://www.thenation.com/blogs/protest?pid=1766. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
