The New York Riots of 2004

To: Lando Lincoln

I don't see it happening, but I think there will be plenty of ugliness in the streets, wacko leftists with American flags with swastikas, etc., which the media will cover, along with the "bushville" tent cities and crap like that. Those scenes I think will turn off alot of would-be Kerry supporters.

Please allow me to add an eye/ear witness account,which bolsters David Horowitz's words.

In 1968,I was living and working in Manhattan.Besides the Village Voice, there was an "underground" paper that was even farther left, called the EVO, or the EAST VILLAGE OTHER.In that paper, as well as in the VV, not to mention all kinds of pamphlets and handouts, the Yippies asked for people to volunteer for their "army of protesters",which they TRAINED,like a militia, for the '58 protest in Chicago.I wish that I had saved these newspapers,but I didn't.

Shortly before the convention, I was cutting across Central Park, on my way to visit my parents, when what should I come across, but Abbey Hoffman and Rubin, and the rest of that ilk, TRAINING a vast motley crew of " peaceful" protest wannabes, in the fine arts of throwing human waste filled plastic baggies and how to taunt police to get them to hit them, on camera.THIS WAS A PLANNED ATTACK,THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SPONTANIOUS ABOUT THE CHICAGO "RIOTS" AT THE DEM CONVENTION!

Flash forward to the late summer of 2004. Unlike '68, when the Hippies and Yippies took over Grant Park, I really doubt that Central Park is going to be allowed to be taken over by today's filthy protesters. The GOP convention is NOT adjacent to Central Park,it's to be held in Madison Square Garden and the very tiny park nearby, will NOT accommodate huge numbers of protesters. The nearby "Pocket Parks",as they are called, are even smaller.

Will the protesters disrupt N.Y.C.? They'll try to, but they'll make residents and people who work in Manhattan furious,which won't help their cause and the NYPD isn't going to give them free reign at all.

I don't think it will happen.

The Left is TOTALLY focused on removing the President from office, and their leaders know that such displays of their true nature would damage the "friendly" image they are trying so hard to project.

All the usual socialist groups will therefore actively discourage any such activity by their members, and count on the media to ignore the ones who DO show up.

You responded to the wrong post. You wrote As screwy as it sounds, it seems this shit will never end, . . . .

Although I am no prude, nor or most of the poster here, language like makes you look less intelligent. I would recommend refraining from it.

DU is democratic underground. Surf over to their site sometime. The language and personal, emotional attacks on anything that does not tow the party line can be quite extreme. It appears that every thread over there must contain foul language.

Such language highlights ones upbringing.

The New York Riots of 2004

It won't happen. NYC is not a riot town, or at least it's not except when Dinkins was mayor.

"Tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of “protestors” will flood into New York for the convention. They will be joined by various thrill-seekers, malcontents, and trouble-makers. It would be insane not to expect things to get ugly."

I wonder how many will be killed in the terrorist attack?

Isn't it a Republican administration that is kicking terrorist butt all over the globe?

There won't be 'riots' like in Chicago in '68.
