Two Days Of Protests: P&I Buzz Brief

Overall peaceful protests over the weekend but news hungry press are sure to capture anything remotely hostile.

Police did arrested around 200 protesters for disorderly conduct, however there were no injuries.

In more confrontational protests, hundreds harassed RNC delegates attending plays on Broadway. The New York Times reported that police arrested more than 50 protesters for obstructing the entrance to two hotels where RNC delegates are staying.

Even with fears of grass annihilation Central Park was still the convergence of some protests over the weekend. Libertarian’s lead by their candidate for president Michael Badnarik and the more sophisticated protesters Billionaires for Bush were among the turf stompers.
