These riots were very much on my mind in the run-up to the RNC. Kudos to the NYPD for handling that potential multi-day riot.
This qoute could have been lifted right out of the 2004 RNC protest, eh.
"I saw a surging, swaying crowd coming up Broadway, whooping, yelling, blaspheming and howling, demoniacs such as no man imagined the city of New York to contain. There were women among them and half-grown boys, but none of them seemed to be American. Who were they? They carried guns, pistols, axes, hatchets, crowbars, pitchforks, knives, bludgeons ? the red flag. 'Down with the rich men! Down with property! Down with the police!'"

Morning gridlock.
Yeah, I was expecting a lot more trouble in NYC during the Convention. NYPD did a good job on keeping the lid on things.
