Protesters Arrested In NYC Demonstration Against Trump Supreme Court Pick
WCBS ^ | Jan 31, 2017

Posted on 01/31/2017 7:49:54 PM PST by Ray76

Moments after President Donald Trump announced Neil Gorsuch as his U.S. Supreme Court pick, a small group of protesters blocked traffic in front of Trump Tower and got arrested.

After Trump’s announcement, about a dozen demonstrators knelt in the middle of Fifth Avenue as an act of civil disobedience. They were calmly led to a blue and white police bus in plastic handcuffs.

I’ll wager not one protester can spell the SCOTUS nominee’s surname!

They were outside the Supreme Court with professional anti-Gorsuch signs already made. Someone (Soros?) is funding this stuff.

Where are all those rent-a-mob demonstrators coming from? Soros must be spending a heck of a lot of money to hire them. I noticed those professionally done signs that must’ve have been ordered well in advance.

They are not “protesters”. They are rioters and anarchists. They are vicious and dangerous. If you do not believe that, ask the Trump supporter that got his busted.

Soros is going to be writing a lot of checks over the next few months.

To give their miserable lives meaning, these daily protesters are working to get jailed. Someone pays their bail and other expenses because obviously, they have no jobs.. If the media wasn’t on the protesters’ side they would investigate this fake outrage.

yeah.....where was that? Not something we want to see emulated or imitated here-—maybe Rome2000 can tell us.

I doubt that they can add 2+2 and get the correct answer.

Also, they have NO idea what they are screaming and complaining about.

Not good optics. What’s next, protesting and blocking traffic because Trump forgot to water his plants yesterday?

It won’t take long before Americans get rioted-out and simply FED UP with this bunch, and should that happen, many will gravitate to Trump. They need to pick their battles...there may well be reasons in the future to protest this nominee, but certainly nothing yet.

Good. Pretty soon they will all become non stories and the sensationalism will die down and people will get sick of it.

I've been sick of it for quite some time.

The minute the commies start the violence all bets are off.

They are trying to take down Trump and reverse the election.

The right wing can fight back or start speaking spanish and praying to allah.

Let them get arrested, get felonies and lose their right to vote.
