True North

3:43pm - Mitch Berg reports that a dozen or so Code Pink members are marching, singing, chanting at 6th & Market then at the MSNBC broadcast center. Looks like they're getting ready for some civil disobedience. Line of cops forming, media arriving. Cops are surrounding Pinks. The bellowing and off-key singing has begun.

3:45pm - Police are moving them off for a group arrest. Mitch is moving in closer and hearing more bellowing. A couple of Indiana delegates are nearby and looks like Code Pink is going for an unlawful assembly. Chanting is loud, cops are pushing the Pinks to the traffic island to keep the road clear.

3:38pm - A soundman is nearby wearing a gas mask. A crowd gathering across the street, possible direct action types.

3:50pm - Arrests have begun, Ramsey County Sheriffs have cordoned off the right turn lane. Pinks in handcuffs are being led over to the Landmark Center. The blue flex cuffs are a nice compliment to their pink attire. Accessories make the woman!

3:55pm - Looks like the smog of pink has dispersed. In front of the Landmark, they're being processed (hopefully power-washed as well). Lady Logician was at the site earlier and will file a related report with more photos.
