32. Perspective.............. That is...........
Edited on Tue Jan-11-05 02:04 PM by Karenca
horrible.
It should not have happened.

But, in a city as large as NYC,
with a population of almost 12,000,000,
Over 600,000 protestors: 300-something arrests equals 0.25%

and it happened over a period of five days.

I am by no means condoning the arrests, I am putting it into perspective.

What I found particularly distressing was the fact that this huge protest rec'd. barely any media attention, but the arrests surely did.
But that's the way it is now in Jesusland :(
