Just stopped by Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza to register my displeasure with the unshaven, cheaply-suited Iranian President Mahmoud Armoredinnerjacket across the street from the United Nations.
A fair turnout on a beautiful day.
UN special forces (actually NYPD) posted on the roof of the roof of the General Assembly building were taking no chances.
The crowd turned out to be a mix of young and old with a heavy emphasis on young. Non-bellowing speakers addressed a non-riotous audience and didn’t whip them into a murderous frenzy. No AK-47 rounds were fired into the air and no passersby were wounded by celebratory bullets falling mysteriously from the sky.
Reasonable, passionate and peaceful. An excellent display of political maturity. I was impressed.
