Police say more than 1,500 protesters, including first responders and families of September 11th victims, spoke out in Downtown Manhattan Saturday against the decision to try alleged terrorists in the city.
The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition held the protest in Foley Square to express opposition to Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to hold the trial in Manhattan Federal Court.

Well here is a video and article putting the NYC police estimate at 1,500 while the reporter on the video starts out with “nearly 2,000 people stood in the cold wet rain and protested Saturday”…
I think the weather kept a lot of people from turning out, however I still believe around 2,000 or so people did!
No matter the event or crowd size the liberal media will consistently under count us. They did this big time on 9/12 (I know because I was there), they did this on November 21, 2009 in Rochester NY where Sarah palin came to sign her book (I know because I was there) and they are doing it again on a smaller scale (I know because I was there).
A lot of the media coverage is saying hundreds or between 200-300 people, etc. Well, 200 or so people versus 2,000 or so people is a big difference and they know it. They are afraid so they under report it.
Do not fall for this latest media whitewash. I was there. I know.
To those who came out, thank you. To those who wanted to and could not there will be more opportunities.
I’m just sayin.
Obama doesn’t care.
Gerald Nadler, the self-loathing Jew.
New Yorkers should close the city down as much as possible and keep it closed until the government changes their mind. Except for mass transit that will bring the people in. This is more important than keeping the city running.
I think it’s in NY Civil court because if he got the death penalty in a Military Tribunal, Obama would have to sign to make “death” happen. A born and raised Muslim....
No he doesn’t. Obama’s doing this so these Islamist animals can do his pr for him. Why not? He goes around the world apologizing for America, bashing our country every chance he can. So he’ll have these animal do it for in the very heart of where the horror of 9/11 took place. I hate this man with a fury that staggers even me.
......laughs.
It’s not funny, I’m sorry.
I want to throw up.
never has....never will.....
I was there, and 1,500 to 2,000 sounds like a fair estimate. If you count those who came early and left, and those who came late and stayed, there might have been as many as 2,500 total.
He is ..a total self hating jew ..liberal asshole supreme. Doesn’t have enough sense to hang those who would make lamp shades out of his kids.
And this is also their way of putting George Bush on trial.
BUMP
