New York on Protestors: "Whiners, wusses & wimps"

The editors at the New York Daily News tear into the protestors in NYC:

Some protesters these people are. Civil disobedience customarily involves a willingness to suffer some measure of discomfort. Ask Gandhi. But this is the bunch that demanded the city provide them with designer bottled water. Cute, aren't they?

The editors also give the NYPD high marks:

Real police-state abuses, mind you, have been not much in evidence this week. No skulls were cracked Monday night when a detective was pulled from his scooter and pounded unconscious outside Madison Square Garden. The men and women of the NYPD showed similar restraint and professionalism yesterday as self-professed anarchists marched and bellowed around and about the town to celebrate their designated Day of Civil Disobedience.

New York was a good choice for the RNC.
