The article focuses on antiwar demonstration in New York on February 15, 2003. The demonstration to stop the war in Iraq was huge, exciting, exhilarating, despite the weather and the heavy hand of the New York Police District. Thousands, barred by police from the designated rally area on First Avenue and 49th Street on up, tied up traffic on Second and Third, thousands left, discouraged, even as others, unknowing, streamed forward and still others were penned by lines of cops and metal barricades into side streets. Mounted police charged into the crowd, and more than 250 people were arrested, mostly on minor charges.
