Cops Cause Hop Won to Get the Short End of the Protest Stick
Today, around lunchtime, Africa Action sponsored a Darfur Rally to force the US to act against the genocide happening in Darfur, when we take over the Presidency of the UN Security Council on June 1st. In order to keep the sidewalk clear in front of the building that houses the soon to be President’s office (on 45th btw. Lex+3rd), the police forced the protest across the street, in front of Hop Won! Seems like a bunch of BS to me. The office building that houses people who should rightfully be inconvenienced by this noble cause can’t be bothered, but feel free to block me from getting to the best sauteed udon in the city! What crap…

They’d be better to demostrate about the starvation and hunger beyond the brownstones in the far upper eastside.
