Fresh from the anti-RNC scene at Union Square — it was too depressing to stay. There were hundreds of cops. I watched tons of kids get carted off. The scene in midtown was even worse. Check out nyc.indymedia.org for more details. On a brighter note, if you’re looking for something to do, I compiled a [...]
