Internet organizers are rallying demonstrators to stage a silent protest, called a flash mob, against the Iran election in the plaza between Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure.
In this flash mob, participants are asked to show up at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and freeze for two minutes. The protesters are expected to blend in with the crowd before stopping.
Disney officials are aware of the expected protest and plan to have security guards available to monitor the situation, said Suzi Brown, a Disneyland spokeswoman. But Disney is expecting to have little interruption to business, if any, Brown said.
A Web site called “The Silent Wave,” is organizing protests at Disney and elsewhere Thursday. The group is using social networking sites, including Twitter and Facebook, to get the word out because of restrictions by Iranian authorities, the Web site states.
“The silence is in memory of those killed in the protests or during imprisonment that have taken place across Iran,” states the Web site.
The local organizer is a Twitter member who calls himself @greenthumbnails. He is a Norwalk man named John, who works in Costa Mesa, he said in a Twitter message. John said he is not affiliated with a group, but just wanted to do something."
Funny they don't seem to give a date. :confused:
