Just a quick diary breaking. There was a sit-in today in Times Sq in NYC, the so called crossroads of the world. Thousands of activists are STILL the streets, despite the efforts of NYPD to break up the march.
UPDATE--The NYTime currently has a slideshow up of Trayvon protests from across the nation on the front page of their website. The first image of that slideshow is SO stereotypical I want to throw something. Compare that picture to the ones posted below. I was in the street all day and everyone I saw was peaceful and respectful. How fair and balanced of them!
2nd UPDATE--The pic I was complaining about has now been pushed down by more recent images from Times Sq. It's now pic #4 on the NYTimes slideshow, not the first image you see when you go to their site, so there's that.
