Time to toss them overboard - ready made solution!!! Do they know how to swim? Might have to warn them first or someone will be upset!

If the police don’t act now (rubber bullets/ bean bag guns) all civilized control is going to be lost. Perhaps that is the plan.

The police are letting it happen because the NYC government told them to let it happen. The NYC government is worthless garbage because the representative system of government works in NYC and since the majority of NYC voters are liberal half witted worthless garbage who despite all evidence to the contrary think themselves vastly superior the the rubes in “fly over country” and hence never look around the rest of the country (or for that matter west of the Hudson) to see how to handle the disruptive a$$holes. In short New Yorkers get what they deserve because they voted for it.

I would be okay if something ‘unfortunate’ happens to them...and then their lifeless carcasses are tossed over the side of the bridge.

Well, maybe not, that would pollute the river.

Fine if they let them get away with it. It’s local.

Mideast-If there are any terrorists Trump can issue payback for the ones that Biden didn’t under his watch. Once it’s done early in his new administration he can say it’s unfinished business Biden wouldn’t address. Do it while his failures are still in mind.

Then there’s Mexico. Guilty of facilitating the invasion thinking it was alright only because it was Biden in office. Build the wall and all will be ok? NO, the damage is done.

Unfortunately, a lot of lefties have decided it’s cool to join the Muslims.

NY Post reports a small number of agitators have organized these. At first they said 16 outsiders at Columbia, I believe; now it’s a little lower.

I could give two shxts about NYC or any other city for that matter but anyone blocking a bridge or traffic anywhere should run over at maximum speed and then be responsible for any vehicle damages. F’ the left and everything they stand for.

Line I always remembered from the A Team:
Hannibal: We sent him over Niagara Falls with rubber duck.

Good solution. Too bad it’s out of town. Exactly 403 miles between them.

Sooner or later someone is going to die in an ambulance because the vehicle can’t get through. Hopefully the payout will be millions when they get sued. It won’t fix things but it’s a start.

shut down Manhattan Bridge

It's nice to look at but Manhattan people don't lose anything by not being able to get that dismal nabe, nor from not having dwellers of that dismal nabe being obnoxious in Manhattan.

Imho.

“Why are the police still letting this happen??”

Because their bosses told them to.

Anyone who still thinks cops will be on “our” side when things get real is a fool.

There are some witty lines from movies or TV shows that just never leave our memories no matter how many years have passed. I thought that was better than saying, “no matter how old we’re getting.” It’s true for me but I can’t speak for others.

One of my favorites is:
Admiral Chegwidden in JAG - after giving an order and a serviceman telling him he wasn’t in his chain of command, the admiral said, “You may not be in my chain of command but you are in my line of fire.”

Priceless. Time to hit the hay with a book!
