Civil Disobedience In Times Square -- "End The Wars!"

NEW YORK -- December 16, 2010. December 12th was a bitter cold night but that did not discourage a hundred people from attending a peace demonstration at Times Square. The protest was being held in unity with a large demonstration in Washington D.C.

Ten people were arrested in the Times Square civil disobedience act for blocking traffic at 44 Street and 7th Avenue. Police slapped on the nylon flexcuffs as the protesters chanted "End The Wars..."

The protest was organized by Veterans For Peace and supported by the Raging Grannies, The Granny Peace Brigade, The War Resistors League, Catholic Worker and the Green Party.

@Death2theNWO777 "getting arrested for protesting against killing people?"

Yes. Not only are anti-war protestors arrested, Neo-Nazis are protected by the police wherever they stage rallies.

That is what occurred in Los Angeles earlier this year: the police -- on the taxpayer's dime -- were sent to protect Neo-Nazis staging a rally in downtown Los Angeles.

Police never protect peace marchers.

These are America's values: protecting Nazis & persecuting peaceniks.
