Memorial for Monica Shay Turns to Protest
Saturday evening friends of Monica Shay gathered for a memorial near the entrance to Tompkins Square Park . As the evening progressed several of the elder East Village activist/revolutionaries took banners to the street stopping , among other vehicles , a city bus.
For a short time the event in the middle of avenue A was every bit a traditional East Village protest with all the proselytising rhetoric and theatrics . Rather than running wild in the streets though , the revolutionary corp took a less challenging walk through Tompkins Square Park to the iconic East Village symbol of capitalist oppression , the Cristadora .
Some what late in the progress of the protest police did arrive on avenue B where the protesters were blocking the entrance of the Cristadora .The protesters slowly dispersed with some returning to the center of T.S.P. to continue the memorial .No one was arrested.

Peel and the Pieman's running days are long gone.
Perhaps these revolutionaries can shuffle wild in the streets in their orthopedic shoes ;)

Why memorialize someone sent by the RCP (Revolutionary Communist Party) to infiltrate the Tompkins Square activist movement in order to recruit for the RCP and glom onto demos and actions organized by others?
