Brother Bingley is on a bus headed home from New York City at the moment and nowhere near as efficiently as usual. Why? Well, he’s been sending me action shots of “protesting” Hammas supporters with their watermelon balloons glomming up Wall Street outside the New York Stock Exchange, and generally making life miserable for WORKING people.
He said there are probably less than 100 there, with twice as many NYPD officers. But they’re noisy and annoying.
They hit the Brooklyn Bridge at about 3:30 this afternoon. Shut both lanes down.
The Brooklyn Bridge was temporarily closed Monday as hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters marched across the iconic span.
The swarm of demonstrators shut down both lanes of the bridge as they trekked into Brooklyn around 3:30 p.m., video posted to X shows.
Some protesters burned sparklers as NYPD officers on bicycles pedaled toward them.
Dozens of people were arrested on the bridge as a Correction Department bus waited at the bottom of the Brooklyn side of the bridge to transport detainees.
First O’Hare Airport, then the Golden Gate Bridge, and now the Hamassholes are blocking traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The feds will probably do nothing about it.

GAWD, I’d be snortin’ fire, but at least NYPD was arresting people and working to OPEN the bridge back to traffic.
Good luck on the subways, you scummy twits, where it’s a whole different ballgame. The underworld denizens don’t care about your masks or your flags.
The Freak Left is losing its mind over the Gaza war today.

That would be a whack-a-troll lesson on steroids if they should run into one of NY’s premiere subway assault machines.
That being said, New York City was so much better off than Chicago this morning when Palestinian protest vultures started circling. Happy little Hamas supporters decided that shutting down the Kennedy Expressway at the height of rush hour – as well as the entrance to O’Hare International Airport – would be a totally boffo way to introduce their movement to impressionable commuters and frantic airline passengers.

I might be tempted to use harsh language if I passed protestors blocking the road in such a situation. Particularly when, maybe, I miss my flight because of these vermin and then hear on the news that there’s “No word yet whether any arrests have been made.”

Is Chicago over Hamas sympathizers yet?
They do this a time or two again, and I’ll bet they will be.
In San Francisco, where you’d think they’d be used to inconvenience thanks to their resident population of emotive children acting out, ohh! Tempers were flaring this morning when the Hamas supporters there closed down the Golden Gate Bridge – again during rush hour – for almost four hours.
Chaotic video shows the moment a driver stuck on the Golden Gate Bridge clashed with a group of Pro-Palestinian protesters in San Francisco Monday. Organizers say these protests are a part of A15, a worldwide economic blockade in solidarity with Palestine. https://t.co/bqMuHwbIDK pic.twitter.com/8qrBxtZCGg

They have the nerve to act as if the poor man simply trying to go about his way is the problem.
PLEASE CALM DOWN, SIR, AND TAKE YOUR SEAT
The Golden Gate protesters, as is typical with that fractious bunch, had not only chained themselves together but were also fighting among themselves.

It sort of ruins the unanimity message of peace for Gaza when they can’t even keep from beating on each other, wouldn’t you think?
Friends who live in the area were fed up

Originally, the Hamas supporters only shut down one side of the bridge, which was maddening enough with no one moving them out of the way. But the authorities closed down the opposite lanes to stop drivers from coming in to thump the protestors.
I don’t know how much people are supposed to be expected to take in these situations. That’s kind of the sticking point there.
How much frustration at the lack of action by authorities and the out-and-out lawbreaking by protestors are citizens required to suck up before their nature inclination to solve the impasse themselves kicks in?

As David noted earlier, it was the Chicago police protecting protesters this morning causing the backups instead of hauling them off the roadway in paddywagons
The protesters were busy on Oakland freeways, as well – again with no one in authority shutting the protest down.

I’m not saying it was coordinated, shutting down three major cities (attempting a fourth) at rush hour by doing the exact same thing…but it sure wasn’t aliens, either.
In Florida, you go to jail for lying on the highway. The police don’t protect YOU, the protestor chained to a guard rail or supine on the yellow line. They haul your asterisk right out of there.
Florida does this crazy thing called enforcing the law https://t.co/I82LBvYO1X

If you attack a vehicle – kick, spit, hit, or even leap on it while it’s moving – YOU, the protester, are responsible for your own injuries and any damages. Not the driver whom you attacked.
It’s the exact opposite in these blue states – Chicago cops will protect Gaza goons from angry passengers about to miss their flight who now are forced to walk to a terminal from the freeway. Police in California will shut down BOTH directions of a major thoroughfare in order to protect the tender cheekbones and baby-soft palms of the protesters from rough treatment by irate traveling taxpayers. Citizens who are not allowed to be angry that semi-literate goons – worse, ones supporting so aberrant, savage, and barbaric a message – are blocking travel on one side.
Protesters say it’s just a little inconvenience compared to what’s going on in Gaza. They feel empowered to disrupt at will, because no one ever “inconveniences” the protesters when they organize these things.
Citizens in these states need to decide if they want Hamas, BLM, or any progressive group to have sway over their freedom of travel and their safety. Because it’s not necessarily a missed flight – it might be an ambulance, firetruck or organ donation in the traffic jam protesters have so giddly created and authorities are enabling.
Or, dammit – I might have to use the head and knew I could just make it to that next exit with the Citgo on the corner.
They have no right, period.
New York was relatively unscathed today. Maybe it had something to do with that trial in the courthouse just down the street – who knows?
I’m sure Hamas lovers will get around to a flashier NYC hit soon.
After all, who’s gonna stop them?
