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.

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

I'm glad that they were arrested!

These PAID "protesters", were going to protest no matter WHO he chose and no matter WHAT he has done/shall do.

It’s pretty amazing that the protestors read through all of Gorsuch’s opinions and found the ones they disliked so quickly.

Ha!

A classic Trump campaign moment. Good callback.

Blocking the interstate is a federal crime. BLM seems to get away with it.

Democrats pay people to cause chaos and confusion then they blame us. Similar to like when dems were hiring people to rough up Trump supporters then had their shills in the MSM complain about ‘violence’.

Sick little effers...

If only the courts would give these folks serious jail time, these protests would likely dry up pretty quick. Federal charges maybe?

I'd bet that half of them couldn't even tell you who the nominees is.

They were just in position to be "outraged" and ready to go at the announcement.

so many protests to do and yet so little time.

These people are so plastic in their protest that even the average American who does not follow this crap is getting fed p with them.

The story starts off badly...

...and got arrested.

...and happy ending!
