Protesters in New York announced a march on 5th Avenue to defy Mayor DeBlasio’s moratorium on demonstrations after two NYPD cops were slaughtered. The Twitter account @MillionsMarch posted a sign that said to meet at 59th and 5th. Another Twitter account posted a sign that said “No Christmas shopping as usual.”

More from the “drag everybody down into the hole we’ve dug for ourselves” crowd.

Time for leadership to rise up and put down the insurrection. This has got to stop. We can not and will not live like this.

I haven’t heard anyone bring it up yet but what is New Years Eve in Times Square going to look like?
Chaos?

Good question. I am afraid it will be a mess come New Year’s Eve.

That’s exactly what New Yorkers voted for. The United States is still a democracy. (Well, mostly.) It’s not like voters didn’t know that de Blasio was a left-wing loon. That’s what they wanted, that’s what they voted for, and that’s what they got.

What idiot would go to New York City for New Year’s Eve with all this mess going on? It’ll have a big negative turn on tourism if mass demonstrations occur that evening.

It's normally chaos. (New Years Eve in Times Square is full of loud, obnoxious drunks with no place to pee.) It could be worse.

I say let them protest and shut down all of the places they want. Citizens of NY are getting annoyed and that really hurts the cause. They are beginning to look like freaks and will be remembered as such.

As I've said before, this is what will ultimately bring an end to these demonstrations.

The money that drives politics in New York City doesn't care very much about the assassination of a couple of cops in Brooklyn, but you can be sure that Bill DeBlasio's phone rings off the hook when these mutants disrupt commerce in the high-rent districts of Manhattan.

I wonder if de Blasio is supporting this because the protests continue, but it gives him some distance from them politically.

***************************************************************************************************************

I am afraid our leadership, especially in New York and on the national level are pretty happy with what is happening. Who is fomenting these “peaceful” riots? Start with the pResident’s personal representative to the black community, AL SHARPTON. Add in the Obama Just-us Dept and the various governors and mayors and you have the beginning of a race war sanctioned by their leaders.
Is history repeating itself?

All the ‘Marxists in charge’ have been targeting cops across the country. So a couple of cops are assassinated and yet, they try to pretend they haven’t been fomenting the violence? They have lost their issue now with most of the population. You reap what you sow...........TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY!

And now the thugs have another thug to mourn. The one killed by police in Berkely,Missouri. A city adjacent to Ferguson...

If there’s a time to make a statement that the whole world will see, New Year’s Eve at Time Square would be the time to do it.

There will be a huge police presence, folks who just want to party on, and anarchists bent on creating a disturbance that would provoke a stern police response. It could potentially be very nasty.

The thugs tried this in Atlanta last weekend. Stopped traffic and laid down in the road blocking traffic of shoppers to Buckheads 2 upscale malls. The police arrested all of the demonstrators.

How many of these protesters can even afford to shop on 5th Avenue?
