A group of nutty antiwar protesters gathered today near the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in New York City before they were arrested at the New York Stock Exchange.

The protesters were not allowed into the Stock Exchange and were arrested after they blocked the entrance protesting against the evil corporations that are making money off of “George Bush’s illegal and immoral war.“
They didn’t have much better luck when they started off at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial:
The demonstrators began the day at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, several blocks from the stock exchange, where they were met by seven Vietnam War veterans who said they were guarding the monuments.
Maybe this “Gathering of Eagles” movement is catching on?

The protest had no impact on trade.
