Apparently, the right to assemble does not include the responsibility to realize people live in this town. This type of scene was duplicated all throughout the areas neighboring the protest zones.

It sure looks like a whole lot less than 250,000 people to me. Too bad that the liberals who say they stand for environmental and social needs cant even pick up their own litter.

Sure the litter will cost the taxpayers and it will have to be done, but the security bill for this convention is approaching double the DNC budget. Oh and lets talk about the disruption shall we? Roads closed, subway lines closed and the city looking like a fortress doesn't help tourism either.
Did you know there is 1 Security Person for every 2 Delegates?

Here is another spin on the NYC convention. It sends a message to the terrorists around the world that we the USA are not afraid of them. That we will stand up to their threats on the very ground they once threatened and hold our conventions. The security shows that we are still strong enough to stop them and their ilk from disrupting our form of government. Let the message of freedom ring, protests, conventions, political statements, and the spin put on them. Isn't America grand!!
