went underground; and came back with a smiling facade & veneer of civility, under the urbane Bloomberg regime. same modus operandi as the Bushwipe/Cheney gang being replaced by the Mittens-Newt-Santorum circus.

but the racism and the generalized bullying & thuggery, is alive and flourishing -- though disguised from New Yorkers ken. all one has to do, is go through the NCLU stats you provided, or the accounts of the OWS protestors being manhandled & banged around, and the situation is obvious.
