NEW YORK — Wearing signs that said, “No Attack On Iran”, 200 plus protesters poured into Grand Central Station yesterday. At the heart of rush hour on a steamy July day the station “froze” for several minutes as protesters stopped in their tracks. The activists were part of a “freeze” action and remained motionless until a signal was given. At the conclusion of the freeze, Manhattan’s busy Grand Central erupted in the shouts of protesters demanding peace. Commuters took it all in stride, many using cell phones to tell their friends what was happening. One man passed an NLN video crew and said, “well done!” Police looked on, only getting involved when a pro-war counter-demonstrator wearing an Iranian flag with swastikas painted on it tried to provoke the peace activists. He was led away and the protest concluded without incident.
