May 1, 2010, a very warm Saturday in Union Square, Manhattan. I honestly forgot it was May Day until I came above ground after riding the subway in from Astoria, Queens. Right across the street was the gathering in the park, lots of fancy, professionally-printed signs and someone yelling a speech all in Spanish. Because I’m a troublemaker and a jerk, I shouted LA MIGRA! LA MIGRA! a few times and flipped off the lady who told me I wasn’t a true Native American, either. About an hour later we were heading to a concert on the NYU campus, and started walking down Broadway toward Astor Place. We started hearing lots of police sirens all at once, and then looked straight ahead. There were young guys with baseball bats and Che signs pinned to their backpacks running down the street smashing store windows, all on the west side of Broadway. We stopped dead on a corner, because there were police cars coming from so many different directions the street lights were rendered meaningless. As soon as we stopped, about 6 NYPD units pulled up to our exact corner and the cops jumped out and tackled two of the vandals literally TWO FEET in front of me. Some other officers arrived, jumped out of their cars, and started a crazy foot pursuit of another guy who started running in zig-zags down the middle of Broadway. They tackled him as well, in the middle of the freakin’ street, as cars kept almost hitting everyone involved. It happened incredibly quickly. There were tons of eyewitnesses, and I even saw a few people videotaping, but of course I can’t find mention of this incident anywhere online or in the media.

Wow. Gotta get on Youtube soon, hopefully.
Bump
I like this guy. I like his attitude.
I do.
We need to aggregate the accounts of leftist violence to compare to the lack of violence by conservatives.
What is also very revealing is the per capita violence of leftist rallies. The number of people who participated in Tea Party rallies number well into the millions. If millions of leftists rallied - can you imagine the amount and cost of their violence in terms of injuries to bystanders, security officials, and the perps, as well as property damage and lost commerce?
I really hope there’s a lot more of this.
Pre-printed signs and violence, the very trademarks of the Democrat party!
Imagine that.
Don’t see people running down the street bashing shop windows at Tea Party protests now do ya?
Nope, whats that tell ya. It tells me that Democrats will use violence to get what they want.
What sort of options does that leave US with??
We had better be thinking about that right there.
Its hilarious watching the libtards aver their eyes while wringing their hands over well behaved groups of patriotic (and many retired) Americans.
Ping!
