"Inside the 4-star Grand Hyatt New York on Thursday evening, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the New York state Republican Gala, a high-status, black tie fundraising dinner that costs $1,000 to attend.Outside the hotel, thousands of people are scheduled to protest the event with the explicit intention of shutting it down. The demonstration is free to the general public. We intend to do what the citys elected so-called leaders refuse to do and shut down Trump from spreading his hateful message.
Trumps rhetoric is an instigation to racist, anti-migrant and misogynist violence, said Kalisa Moore, part of the Stop Trump Coalition, in an emailed statement previewing the protest. As a matter of self-defense and protection of New Yorkers, we intend to do what the citys elected so-called leaders refuse to do and shut down Trump from spreading his hateful message.
As you can see the protesters are being quite explicit in their plans not merely to protest, but to shut down the event.
The commies, along with a full salad bowl of the usual useful-idiots, are all over this, early Twitter feeds include several of people carrying Communist Party banners.
At some point these disruptive protests with their refusal to even permit Trump to speak, will be met with counter-protests.
Leftist agitators actually work to elicit counter-protests, and then to push them towards violence. This is termed "encouraging the dialectic" in community organizer terms.
When (not if) we get to the level of competing groups staging running street battles in the name of politics we will be further down the road to what many feel is inevitable.
I have previously written about the near-certainty of violent protests at the Republican Convention in Cleveland this summer, see: Riots are inevitable in Cleveland This is an expected escalation towards that, the next level past Chicago.
This protest is taking place without coordination with the police intentionally, the goals being to tie up traffic in the very center of the largest urban center in America, and generally cause maximum mayhem.
It's becoming clearer that the left not only doesn't believe in the Republic and Constitution, (see for instance both Obama's endless executive actions and the complete silence by the rest of the left on the wrongness of them) but also doesn't really like elections much.
Unless, perhaps they are the Soviet type with all candidates pre-vetted by the Party.
I say all the security personnel should have cattle prods at the ready. That’ll get the filth movin’
The usual suspect groups - basically people who don't work.
This is going to get very ugly, very soon.
Better get screen snapshots of everything because they did a damn' good job of cleaning up after themselves once the protests started and there was hardly any evidence left that they'd planned it online.
If all the illegal workers left NY state, the minimum wage just might float up to $15 per hour
All unemployed or underemployed could pick and choose jobs
Please not who THEY fear. Not Cruz, not Kaisch.
Same with the MSM, establishment and democrats.
I can see Obama now, licking his chops as he declares Martial Law and suspends All Elections because Trump is Winning.
“Liberal activists plan a massive demonstration “
Liberal activists... need we say any more...
“A collection of organizations and independent New Yorkers are mobilizing to shut down Trump and oppose creeping Trumpism under the banner #HateFreeNY,” the group wrote in a press release sent Wednesday. Nine other groups, including the Muslim Democratic Club of New York and United We Dream Action, joined Make the Road Action in organizing the anti-Trump protests.”
If you weren’t sure about Trump before, this should do it for you.
I thought all 3 GIP hopefuls are there?
Here is a chance for all of them to stand against fascism
I just hope Cruz and Kasich don’t pile on Trump as being the cause of this insanity
I got a bad feeling about this. I hope I am wrong.
Trump in NYC ping.
The good news is this is New York City where the NYPD are the best in the nation at crowd control. Any of these pinkos step out of line and they’ll quickly see the inside of the paddy wagon....
Thanks for the ping, by the way.
