Re-released subway map for the 2004 RNC in NYC.
The vultures fly into to and pick at the bones found at the WTC, each one carrying something eaten by the Republican party, here in NYC.

Run of 100, critical mass, August 2004

20 minutes spent at San Loco later, the cops arrested everyone at St. Marks church, and confiscated every bike on the street...including sawing through locks on bikes parked around the church (who knows whom they belonged to). Though all the arrests were later (20-36 hours later in a holding pen) thrown out, critical mass in NYC has never been the same, prompting NY's "Parade Laws" which state anymore than 2 pedestrians, bicycles etc. in the street constitutes a parade. Meaning, law enforcement can fine or imprisoned/arrest anymore than a pair in the street for a parade without a permit.

This prompted some local cyclist to create "I'm not with him" buttons: the words with arrows pointing in both directions.
