The ACLU will soon be on the scene supporting their rights to self-expression and wondering why we don't check packages 85 year old women carry at noontime downtown. Profiling in a no no, ya know. *sigh*
Hmmmm DC police just tool care of a bunch of protestors quickly that lay down on DC streets. *s* Good for the cops!

Fox 5 reporter says "all traffic now stopped in both directions on Manhattan Bridge." Brooklyn Bridge "not yet affected."
He also now says suspects were seen climbing one of the bridge's towers. Is backtracking on the "suspicious packages" report: says not able to confirm any packages were left.
Repeating report of suspects "rapelling" down side of bridge. Still unconfirmed.

Broadway and the area south and southwest of it is Hassidic. Monday night when I took the subway back to Manhatten over the bridge from Peter Lugars, we were met by troops who searched each car before letting the subway go on.

"Arabic descent" have been detained after leaving suspicious item on Williamsburg Bridge. Why not? The anti-American "peace" protestors covered for them.

Please keep the news coming - my youngest son is supposed to cross the Willaimsburg bridge about this time on his way to work in Manhattan.
To: familyofman
Well, the bridge is closed now so he is fine.

Quit being so suspicious! They are probably just performance artists. :)
