Eight Activists Arrested in New York City War Profiteer Blockade
On Wednesday, March 19, at approximately 8:30 am, over 30 young activists from the Anti-Profiteering Spirit Squad staged a massive nonviolent blockade in New York City at the international headquarters of the sixth largest war profiteer and defense contractor in the United States, L-3 Communications Corporation, at 3rd Ave. and 40th St.
Eight activists chained themselves to a set of revolving doors and a single side-entrance and were arrested after almost an hour of successfully barring entrance into the building. This protest was met by a large and vocal contingent of supporters and passersby, as well as a formidable police presence. One protestor's shoulder was dislocated when officers forcibly loaded him into a police van.
