Glad to see NYC's elites have their priorities in good order

Can't upset the limousine activists now, can we?

"Dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters came within a block of disrupting celebrity fashion’s biggest night out – the Met Gala – on Monday evening in a dramatic conjunction of forces that was separated only by New York police and metal barricades.

Some protesters, chanting “Rafah!, Gaza!”, said it was their intention to crash the gala. Others said they didn’t know about it. At times, a roughly equal number of police were guiding the winding protest through New York’s Upper East Side as they were preventing fashion fans from getting a glimpse of their favorite celebrities...."


Hey Noo Yawkers, you asked for it, you got it, lol.

Get a slice, grab a cannoli and preen about being in the greatest city on earth.

That just tells you protests can be controlled by the governing authorities at any time.

These protests were allowed by the governing authorities to take place.
  • Palestinian protests at colleges
  • Floyd Protests around the country
  • Trump Jan 6th protests

This really upsets me because the Dems talk about equality but where is the equality when the rich are protected from se protestors meanwhile the average joe - can't go to class, can't get to work because the streets are blocked or can't protect his business from being looted and burned.

I was hoping they'd trash the Gala and these rich people see what we've been putting up with for years.

There were WAY more than Dozens that tried.

I was watching it live last night.

They couldn't figure out how to get in due to all the road closures for the event and , more likely, attempts to hinder disruption by the predictable mob.

The anger train was wandering around central park looking for a way over but were forced sideways.

Of course, when met with barriers they did the only thing a good law abiding 1st amendment citizen would do and break through barriers. I would expel any students in this mess too.

Then after things calmed down and dispersed, some ended up by the WW1 statue and vandalized it and hoisted the Pally flag. They were milling about like drunks outside a bar after last call.

Screaming at cops for defacing their defacement.

What a bunch of angry Losers. What does a WW1 statute have to do with anything yet they defaced it and burned our Flag.

You know if you hate America that much then why not leave? Go to Palestine and join the fight.



These idiots gain their strength in the mob and they need to be arrested.

If the Q****s for Palestine started a GoFundMe to travel to Palestine, I'd kick in several shekels. Even more if they document their adventures on YouTube
