Cut cell service

Yup. But who gets to make the call on that? Hizzoner the Mayor?

[Ray76]

Doubt he’d do it. Maybe the Gov?

I know NYC has their own type of international and domestic spy network. I’m sure they’d pick up somewhat fast on a twitter/facebook flash mob developing.
I’d actually be surprised unless that department was shut down

Even assuming Cuomo would, by the time it got to his desk things would be far, far out of control.

Agreed. But what, really, could they do about it?

[Ray76]

The decision to shut down cell service in the Times Square area can be made way ahead of time.

Family of slain NYPD officer Wenjian Liu break down and cry at the memorial and site where he was shot dead along with his partner NYPD officer Rafael Ramos by a thug who was encouraged to kill cops by Democrats Barack Obama, Al Sharpton and Bill DeBlasio who as of tonight are still not being held accountable.

My hope is that they interrupt the normal festive party at Times Square, it will surely backfire on them Nationally.
I hope.

I think Cuomo is running 2016, New years might be a testy night for him, plus the daily protests.
I think as long as the protests go on it may be good for us. I so wish idiot folks 16 to 20 knew the real truth. It’s such a shame there are so many idiot voters.

Absolutely true. But what would the threshold trigger(s) be for executing on that?

And what would be the result of dropping cell service just as a crowd of 1 million start looking to their phones to tell them what's going on?

I was in the middle of a large rally some 20 years ago (attendance mandated by a Liberal professor, to be validated by bringing back something from it AND writing a stupid reflection paper) and witnessed first-hand how a couple people inside the crowd can push it in one direction or another.

In fact, I think that's what happened with that "What do we Want? Dead Cops! When do we want them? Now!" rally. If you watch listen to the video you'll hear how the chants start slowly changing. Probably the work of 2 or 3 anarchists who got into the middle of the crowd and went to work. The crowd was probably so swept up in the moment that they didn't even realize what they were chanting.

Do I pop the popcorn before the ball drops or at the moment?

[Ray76]

Threshold trigger? Already met. Publicize it.

Any one there who is looking at their phone should have stayed home.

Poor family grieving— I hope the race baiters are happy now.
Mission accomplished for those cretins.

[funfan]

Sounds bad. I am glad my daughter went when she did and got it out of her system.

[FreeReign]

I’ll bet not a single one of those protesters knows the name of Miriam Carey, an unarmed black mother gunned down by DC police for doing nothing more serious than driving too close to the emperor’s palace.

Amazing isn't it.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I can’t even imagine the hell they are going through tonight, right before Christmas they get killed. I lit two candles for both those cops and said a prayer for both and another hoping more do not get killed despite the best efforts of those three puke bags Obama, Sharpton and DeBlasio.

Meanwhile Obamas living it up on vacation, Sharpton is probably stuffing his face and DeBlasio no doubt is “teaching his son a Christmas lesson on how to defend himself against the police”.

Exactly. The subculture is tribal. Facts don’t matter. Rule of law doesn’t matter. It’s all about revenge. If you look at gangs, they are organized as tribes. Ditto for Islam.

But remember, folks, all cultures are equally valid, right?
