This “protest” was not reported, of course.

This seems to be a common tactic now to cover up the crimes and violence of the left. I know someone who lives in NYC and says there are leftist “disturbances” going on all all over the city, sometimes resulting in property damage and sometimes in clashes with the police - and they’re never reported. He only knows about them because he’s a cabbie and will sometimes turn a corner and find himself right in the middle of them. He gets out right away.

They’re all over the city. Rioters shut down the Brooklyn Bridge, they had a small riot in Union Square, gangs have filled individual streets and carried out assaults. Silence on the part of the press. He said it’s like living in a nightmarish post-apocalyptic movie where all order has broken down. The whole city is under attack by BLM and Antifa, who even march around in formation with shields and weapons.

But it’s never reported unless it absolutely has to be (somebody gets killed or seriously injured or a passerby makes a video and puts it some place public where it can’t be denied). However, it sometimes appears on the traffic warning system he uses, so he knows people are reporting it, at least informally to other drivers as on Waze.

He’s lived in NYC all his life, even through that dangerous, lawless period in the 70s and early 80s, and he says the situation now is unimaginable.

Scary stuff. At some point the camel’s back will break.
