Police in New York arrested a number of protesters on Thursday who were apparently part of a movement to disrupt the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in order to demonstrate against the failure to indict Darren Wilson for shooting and killing Michael Brown.

At least seven people were detained, according to the New York Post, which had warned in its front page today about a “plot against Snoopy.” The seven people who were arrested were apparently part of a group of people who overturned a trash can and tried to “run toward the floats,” according to WPIX-TV. “But an hour later, there was no sign of turmoil along the parade route,” notes the New York Daily News.

The NYC Police did not take the attempt to disrupt the parade lightly, and handled the protestors with their usual style and grace.

The videos are all over the web right now.

The parade watchers booed them, which, of course, is setting off all the usual racist libs.

If they try to block the parade, then an army of small children will beat these bastards down quickly. Hell hath no fury like a four year old that has waited all year to see the Elmo float!

I doubt that most of these folks are from Ferguson.

The city government in NYC doesn’t really care if entire neighborhoods are burned to the ground as long as only NYC residents are affected by it. But there is no bigger crime than disrupting an event that draws tourists, visitors and other assorted taxpayers from far and wide.

Didn’t see the gay pride coalition with its daning drag quuens this time around.. I noticed that the. number of blue eyed people were probably less than 5%. There were lots of Hipanic musiciians and singers on all the floats with just enough minorities present so you couldn’t definitely say illegal amnesty was being promoted subliminally but it was. It was pretty obvious.

So I asked my Doctor, "Doctor, what are we going to do about this dangerous virus from Africa?"

He said, "I don't know, he has two more years in office.”
