Monday night Grand Central die-in 'protected' by ring of choke-in participants

It’s not surprising that there were a lot of police inside Grand Central Station, considering the warning of possible “lone wolf” terrorist attacks on high-profile targets inspired by the events in Paris last week. Oh, and the #BlackLivesMatter protesters were there for their weekly scheduled die-in.

Tonight’s “bodies” were few, but they were protected by a ring of protesters participating in a “choke-in.”
