 RE: "they proceeded to attack and destroy the Starbucks" --posted to your
list.

I just got off the phone with the 4 Starbucks outlets closest to Times
Square. No one on the phone, (and I had them call out to the rest of the
staff)at any of these stores had seen or heard anything about a Starbucks
being destroyed.

 A quick search of the New York Post and New York Daily News found two march
stories, which carried nothing about any attacks. A call to the New York
Daily News city desk reached a guy who said, "We don't have anything on that
happening, no, and yes, I would have heard about it."

It's too bad that someone had to post a lie to try to smear a basically
peaceful demonstration.

Barring this posters' presentation of some sort of evidence, I think we
should discount his tale.
