Reply #34: I just spoke to the people at Union Square around 6:00

I stopped by on my way home. The woman running the information table said they had a permit to be there, but did not have one for the amplified microphone. They were issued a permit for the microphone for a "speak out" event on Saturday. On Sunday there were six bands playing there an event for Time Out New York. But the peace groups were denied a microphone permit for today. She didn't know the reason or if there was a reason given. So, when Cindy started speaking on the microphone they arrested Zool, the organizer. And they took the mike and amp. Cindy left with her group and was not arrested.

When I was there someone was speaking - on the back-up mike and smaller amp. This was around six tonight.

Sounds pretty well thought out to me.
