NYC Immigration Protest, Part I

I checked out the immigration protest Saturday morning in New York City, on East 39th Street in front of the Mexican Consulate. I’ve written up a column on it, so I won’t go into too much analysis but I wanted to offer some pictures and video I took.

The whole thing started off very small, with more press than protestors.

Things got a little more interesting, though, when the counter-protestors showed up. (Hint: If you don’t want something to get attention, don’t counter-protest.)

From there, things grew.

If protests are decided by who screams the loudest the longest, the pro-immigration counter-protestors won. And, they retook the Mexican Consulate sidewalk space when the original protestors left.

Further pictures and video to come…
