PROTESTERS & SANTACONS

Today was "Santacon Day" in New York City.  Thousands of people come into the city in Santa Claus   costumes and go from bar to bar in packs.  As that was going on, a massive street demonstration against the police occurred with, I'm told that thirty thousand demonstrators marched the streets.  The police closed the streets down to the Santacon people and I suppose they stayed in the bars where they had little to do but wear their costumes and drink.

Article and pictures of the Santacon People.

I watched the street demonstration from the front of our building.  It was very impressive; no violence and no destruction of property.  All were very courteous.  It was powerful.
