DIE-IN at Grand Central Station - FLASHMOB VIDEO - NYC - October 8, 2010 - End Homophobia

LGBT activists gathered at Grand Central Station on Friday night, at 6 p.m., for a Flashmob demonstration called a ''Die-In.'' At the sound of the whistle, activists dropped to the floor in a demonstration of death -- to symbolise the rash of recent bullying, torture, suicides, and murders of LGBT Americans.

Although the demonstration was meant to be peaceful, the Bloomberg administration dispatched teams of NYPD and other security. Cops were seen carrying riot gear, such as plastic hand cuffs, in case they chose to make indiscriminate mass arrests, like they did during the Republican National Convention in 2004.

Before the end of the demonstration, two activists (Iana Di Bona and Alan Bounville) were arrested by police.

I tried to go to both sides of the clock, but I missed the area behind the clock, where the banner was unrolled. Thank you for being there.

Once again, the view count of one of my videos gets stuck at a certain number. I don't know why YouTube locks the hit count ? Don't go by any view count to measure the impact that my videos are having.

[astoria25]

The YouTube help page indicates that the only time they ''freeze'' view counts is when users have programs to fluff view counts, but I have no such program. So, I have no idea what YouTube is interpreting to be fluffing my views...

We need to do this in more places. Like churches. In their parking lots. I'm serious.

We need more of this direct action.
