Nobody is saying the city would be upset by protesting. However, I don't see much tolerance for anything that might cause National Guardsmen to start shooting into crowds.
I was in lower Manhattan on September 11, and I've been in the city nearly every day since (I live in Westchester). And I've been here when Penn Station was emptied out of tens of thousands of people because a sniffer dog lingered over a package. And I've been here when there were rumors of gas in the subways. And I watched lots of bagpipers at the funerals at St. Patrick's.
The city is not in the mood for "hellraising" if that means "violence." Trust me on this.
