Hundreds of anti-Israel protestors took over the Manhattan Bridge Saturday night, initially blowing off cops who tried to set up set up barricades to block their paths.

Demonstrators blocked vehicles on the bridge’s upper level, stalling traffic, according to images posted on X.

The demonstrators initially gathered near Brooklyn’s Barclays Center before heading northwest onto the bridge and into Manhattan, according to reports.

A couple dozen Hummer SUV’s would take care of the problem.

The media in NY went crazy when pro-Trump protestors shut down the Tappan Zee & Whitestone Bridges before the 2020 election- i’m sure they’ll have the same reaction here /sarc

if things get bad enough
we get blue helmets

to build back better, first they must burn it to the ground

They’ll keep do it until there are consequences.

WTF!? If the police won’t keep the public roads open for Americans, the people will have no choice but to do it for themselves. And the optics will NOT be pretty....

please, PD — get on the job already!

If the police don’t act now (rubber bullets/ bean bag guns) all civilized control is going to be lost. Perhaps that is the plan.

I don't doubt it's the plan.

Just wait until the election is near.

Anyone prepping should probably have it completed by mid Sept.

totally agree
and since I am poor, I do not intend to have any more in the bank than I am afraid to loose

The bizarre thing is that these islamic supporters think they are advancing their cause. They are instead creating a tremendous backlash which will swamp them.
People who think they can bully their way through life eventually get their tickets punched.
Deport, revoke citizenship & imprison those who flaunt their disrespect for others & for the law.

Meanwhile, in Florida . . . things are quite and normal.

Violent pro-terrorist protests like this should be met with force. Remove them, throw them off the bridge.

I believe New York City 🌆 🌃 🏙 was foolish enough to defund them.

And the owners go to jail.

And Texas too, hopefully.

I hope that NYers understand the consequences of their votes…nah, they won’t.

Gee ya think they would be satisfied by now Biden already told Israel to shove it and he’s not sharing intel with Israel so what’s the problem Jew haters

I’m not sure of the political inclinations of the post, but the comments at the site are worthy of FReepers.

“Anyone who still thinks cops will be on “our” side when things get real is a fool.”

Any noodle-arm protestor can slip on his antifa clownsuit and come on down to get clubbed or arrested by cops where I live.
