Hundreds turn out for anti-Trump protest in Manhattan

Demonstrators carrying placards proclaiming such sentiments as "Love Trumps Hate" and "Will trade 1 Donald Trump for 25,000 refugees" gathered Saturday in New York City to protest Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
The protesters assembled in Manhattan's Columbus Circle, across from Central Park, amid a heavy police presence.

Chants of "Donald Trump, go away, racist, sexist, anti-gay'' could be heard throughout the day.
The crowd marched across south Central Park to Trump Tower, the Fifth Avenue skyscraper where Trump lives. Then they marched back to Columbus Circle for a rally.

The protest was largely peaceful though there was one tense moment when some protesters tried to break through a police barricade.

Two protesters who walked in the street were arrested.
Various groups including immigrants' rights activists and socialists organized the protest.

Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to make more shows.

Like you, I used to think the world was this great place where everybody lived by the same standards I did, then some kid with a nail showed me I was living in his world, a world where chaos rules not order, a world where righteousness is not rewarded. That's Cesar's world, and if you're not willing to play by his rules, then you're gonna have to pay the price.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

You see? It's curious. Ted did figure it out - time travel. And when we get back, we gonna tell everyone. How it's possible, how it's done, what the dangers are. But then why fifty years in the future when the spacecraft encounters a black hole does the computer call it an 'unknown entry event'? Why don't they know? If they don't know, that means we never told anyone. And if we never told anyone it means we never made it back. Hence we die down here. Just as a matter of deductive logic.
