BP Protest – Houtson Street, NYC 31.05.
A friend called to invite me to join in a protest against the evils of the earth hating, oil spilling, BP corporation. I have a thing against protesting but I decided to snap a few shots.
As for the cause, well I have different feelings. I typically never join in with the protesters, however, if someone put me in a room with some of the people who are responsible for these things I would happily kill them then treat myself to a root beer float. I doubt that many of the people who stand outside with signs would be willing to kill for what they believe in.
I talked to the owner of the BP station for a few minutes. He told me that the station was privately owned and that BP was not really going to be affected (monetarily) by the protest. I don’t count this as a bad thing. The press was there.
