Nope the only thing I see are the blogs. The media is dumb! They should have someone there to catch this. Gonna check out the local news here in Manhattan.

From the blog:

Report: Sunday, 4:05 PM. We are at the Great Lawn at Central Park with thousands of others who are more than annoyed at Bush and the Neocons. A shouting match broke out with some few supporters of Bush. Such shouting matches attract the media, although they ignore what the tens of thousands of protesters say otherwise. They are looking for conflicts and ways to make the protesters look bad. But we are sitting on the lawn holding our signs, proving we can be in Central Park. A huge Fuji blimp is being used by the NYPD and buses are available for use in the events of mass arrests. We are making a huge peace sign out of people now! We are standing being arranged into a gigantic peace sign and are yelling, "What do we want? Peace! When do we want it? Now!"

We are shouting "Whose park? Our park! Now the police are moving in on us. Police calling in for reinforcements. The police are definitely moving in now. We are probably with the more radical end of the protests here. We are reciting the non-violent pledge of resistance. Chants of "Four more months! Four more months!" are being repeated. About ten thousand people are still here in the Park, without permit. A stand off is very likely. Stay tuned.

These people are crazy. I am praying for the NYPD.

Anyone got a crowd estimate? Being told this has been going on since 9:00 a.m. PST?? Is that right?

I wouldn't take those bloggers to seriously. The police aren't going to bother a bunch of people "sitting on the lawn holding our signs, proving we can be in Central Park. I don't think a "giant peace sign" will do the trick either. NYPD won't be baited that easily. And I'm looking at the live webcam, and there are not 10,000 people of any sort on the Great Lawn. Looks more like an average sunny-day crowd there. Sounds to me like the bloggers are trying to convince some of the marchers to come join them, while most of the marchers are preferring to continue marching in a circle.
