Sheehan slightly hurt when cops halt NYC rallyPolice break up rally while Sheehan is speaking, arrest organizer NEW YORK - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said Tuesday she was hurt slightly in a scuffle that erupted when police broke up a rally as she was at the microphone.

An organizer was arrested and charged with using a loudspeaker without a permit.

“I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly,” Sheehan said, describing the scene at Manhattan’s Union Square on Monday. “I was shoved around.”

Sheehan, the grieving mother whose vigil near President Bush’s Texas ranch sparked anti-war protests around the country, said she wasn’t roughed up by police, but was jostled when officers broke up the rally and arrested organizer Paul Zulkowitz. “I think their use of force was pretty excessive for someone that didn’t have a permit,” Sheehan said. Paul Browne, spokesman for the New York Police Department, said Sheehan had finished speaking when officers arrested Zulkowitz, who had been repeatedly warned that he didn’t have a permit.

Zulkowitz was charged with unauthorized use of a sound device and disorderly conduct. He was given a court summons and released.

They arrested Paul Zulkowski (Zool), a member of the Green Party and one of the primary organizers of CAmp Casey Union Square.

Wasn't Zool the demon that they destroyed in Ghostbusters?

For a minute i thought this was referring to the famed Union Square of San Francisco. No way Mayor Nuisance would allow Cindy to be silenced.

The media is too distracted to cover Sheehan any more. Her 15 days of fame are long gone.

I read some of the comments and looked at the pictures. Those people are pathetic. Their brains have been addled by hate and paranoia.
