Radicals Smash Windows at NYC Business in Chilling Display of Violent ‘Black Bloc’ Tactics
By Madeleine Morgenstern | The Blaze – 2 hrs 24 mins ago

Two people were arrested in New York City Saturday night after Occupy Wall Street-linked protesters vandalized storefronts in what was described as “black bloc” tactics, the New York Times reported.

A black bloc is a protest tactic where protesters wear black clothing and mask their faces to make it harder for police to pick out individuals.

**SNIP**

The East Village blog EV Grieve reported people around the park said protesters smashed windows at Starbucks and a 7-11.

“About 50 ppl dressed in black bashing windows, attacking 7-11 sign, chanting ‘nypd go to hell,’” Twitter user @Ewingweb tweeted at 8:57 p.m.

‘nypd go to hell,’

Kids, this is not how you make friends with the police.

I wouldn’t think it would take much longer for some enterprising lawyer to attach all these costly vandalisms with G. Soros and his employee, Van Jones.

Radicals? How about terrorists?

In a better world with a patriot at the helm, thesr terrorists would be in prison. Under the corrupt Obama administration, however, they are encouraged.

"wear black clothing and mask their faces to make it harder for police to pick out individuals"

And when the owners open fire on them they won't be able to allege racism.

Sounds like conspiracy to obstruct justice.

I’m sure Holder’s people will decide that dark clothing = dark skin for hate crime purposes.

Gee, wouldn’t it be GREAT if New York City had a “Stand Your Ground” law, Bloomberg?

This is the atmosphere that Obama has encouraged and nurtured. I HOPE that our citizenry realizes where this all originated. The First Community Organizer must be quite proud of his minions. They are doing his work.

Hahahaha!

And New York loves this! Starbuck's will bring them gourmet coffee tomorrow morning, and all the Toni restaurants that had their storefronts smashed will cater to the OWS thugs every culinary whim on a daily diet.

The NYT swoons at these antics and can't praise them enough. Meanwhile, the delis and coffee shops close and go bankrupt, blaming Bush for the lack of paying patrons.

Hahahahaha!

I am just waiting for the day that some communist judge (I will no longer say Democrat) makes a precedent setting ruling that such actions are “protected political expression”.

Is this sort of thing becoming the “new normal” in our post-partisan, post-racial and post-lawfulness society?
