Anticipated clashes between anti-forum protestors and police have so far not materialized. Only 1,000 protestors showed up and many demonstrated peacefully. Police arrested seven members of the group AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power for hanging a banner on a footbridge of nearby FDR drive. A man was also arrested after damaging the front door of a Starbucks, a favorite target of protestors in past mass demonstrations in Seattle and Washington DC. |
