After protesters entered the hotel, a worker there claimed the NCBA had left in the middle of the previous night,taking over 100 taxicabs to another hotel on Independance Ave. Didi they really run away from protesters, or was the hotel telling lies trying to get bullhorn and air-horn wielding animal rights activists to stand down?
It would be highly unusual for the cattle lobby-or ANY lobbying organization-to bail out on their hotel, hire over 100 taxicabs at maybe $4 apiece, skulk away at 11:30 PM in the night, and rent additional space in a different. All this to run away from a protest, or were hotel staffers telling lies?
As the entry team was exiting the building, a hotel staffer tried to grab hold of an Indymedia photographer’s camera, but was not successful in holding on to it.
