Speaking Out for Free Speech in New York
About 100 stalwart supporters of Denmark and free speech gathered at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in New York today. Blasting the total lack of interest from mainstream media in an event in a city integral to the Terrorist War, the demonstrators drew approving honks from truck drivers and others on 2nd Avenue. The photos below give a flavor of the event.
One highlight of the event involved moving comments from Lisa Ramaci-Vincent, widow of murdered journalist Steve Vincent. "I came to warn you first-hand of the dangers of Islamic extremism," she said. Ramaci-Vincent is shown below.
In keeping with the country in the spotlight, the event featured some strong expressions of solidarity with Denmark and its culture of cheese and Vikings:
UPDATE: Mary's report contrasts our demo with the anti-cartoon Muslim demo from two weeks ago.

Thank all of you who were there to support denmark and free speech! I was there in spirit. :)

I'm not sure exactly if that comment was directly related to the post or if it's a general observation. I'm going to try to address both.
