Yes......and they do not have one.

They also do not have the right to block streets and bridges.

If the mayor can not handle this I wonder if the governor could step in???

I do have to wonder...why are liberals so willing to support and promote vicious criminals? And why do liberals show so little sympathy for the victims of these animals? Do they just relate more to violent thugs than they do to decent people that worked for a living?

Ah, the liberal slippery slope argument when used by the political opposition becomes a right wing nut job conspiracy.

The governor is as much of a left-wing bed wetter as the mayor is. NY is a lost cause. They need to bring back Pataki and Guliani (sp?). But I don't see that happening-the state has gone in the toilet since the 90s.

Several activist groups seem to be involved.
They have a Facebook page, twitter account, etc.

It's now the "War on Black America" and they are fighting against oppression, poverty wages and a corrupt justice system.
Their pages say they represent all the minorities yet they call it a "War on Black America"

Seems pretty organized.

And DeBlasio is trying to play both sides of the fence..meet with the activists in the AM and then his police force in the afternoon.

Let's see how this Progressive calms down the masses without using the police.

I guess that would not help then.

I am so glad I do not live near anything like NYC.

Understanding that the Constitution allows us to protest government actions does not equal supporting "vicious criminals".

Are you even a little embarrassed over making a claim like that? Even a little?
