Times Square Shut Down By Thousands Marching As Ferguson Protests Spin-Off Across The Country
Daily Mail ^ | 14 August 2014 | By Josh Gardner For Mailonline and Louise Boyle For Mailonline

The fifth night of demonstrations in support of gunned down Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown saw scores of protesters marching through the streets of New York in a vigil that culminated in Times Square Thursday night.

Tensions flared as some protestors attempted to shove their way through a police barricade set up in their path toward the beating heart of the city.

Police held their own and tempers soon calmed, but as night gripped New York, the already congested Times Square ground to a halt as thousands flowed into the streets to demand an end to police brutality and militarization and justice for 18-year-old Brown.

Notr are white neighborhoods. The twist or whatever they’re called-the things on twitter-have already begun where the “protestors” are telling each other to be sure to target white neighborhoods. Oazzhole was determined to have his race war so he could call for martial law. no wonder he’s just golfing all the time while the world goes to hell-he’s focussed on “The Plan”, the one Soros and his other puppet masters put him in office to fulfill.

It might even be worth watching, it’ll probably be that entertaining. Endless speeches from celebrities and so many brainless black militants making so many hyped up ravings.

As a former resident/kid citizen of the great State of NY (WAY upstate version in the 60’s), I object to linking NY to NYC (Ithaca not included).

If I was the mother of a small black child who was killed by a drive-by in my own neighborhood I’d be enraged by this.

It’s as if blacks don’t count——except for a select few,chosen by the media and the ass in the White House.

If there are riots and the country flares up over this, a Republican Congress will be elected in to sort all this out...

Not necessarily.It's well known that blacks only turn out in Presidential years.What better way to get them to turn out in an "off" year?

"be sure to target white neighborhoods."

Can a run on ammo be far behind?

Nothing soothes injustice like a looted pair of designer jeans.

Elections coming up. Obama failing everywhere. Distractions needed.

” the “protestors” are telling each other to be sure to target white neighborhoods”

I look forward to seeing the Liberal bastions stormed and seeing those idealists running for their lives as their houses are burned will be an irony to behold. All their lives they spouted off to us from their ivory towers that these minorities should be welcomed EVERYWHERE (except their own precious homes) and soon they’ll be getting a taste of reality that so many have had to live with.

They all had flat screens years ago.It's the liquor stores that are in the greatest danger.

Yeah, but they need 1080p and 3D for next year's Super Bowl.

Who knows, but I am certain that this is picking up steam quickly and I believe that everyone is making up for losing out on a chance to rant and rave during the Trayvon situation.

I’m thinking 1968 part 2 riots and all.

1968 Democratic National Convention protest activity

I think this is going to get bloody; soon all those hipsters will be dying at the hands of their ideal minorities. During the “Occupy” jaunt places like museums and churches were desecrated and defiled. I believe that the protestors will march to these places and end up going into affluent Manhattan and attacking the posh places that liberals live.

The muckety-muckiest of them undoubtedly have armed security. but that opens up another can of worms if the armed security finds it necessary to open fire upon their precious pets for targeting them. Then someone will be in the same dilemma as this cop was.
