Several hundred pro-Palestinian street demonstrators in midtown Manhattan Sunday afternoon attempted to “cancel Christmas” by massing in front of Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Fox News, hoisting a Nativity Scene marred with fake blood, and carrying signs with messages such as, “From NY to Gaza, Globalize the Intifada.”
In videos shared widely online, ceasefire advocates scuffled physically with police, reportedly injuring at least one NYPD officer, and sustaining some injuries themselves.
The New York Post reports “at least six” arrests have been made, and none of the injuries appear life-threatening. So far.
The United States, as it stumbles into another cursed presidential election year, is lurching toward deadly political violence in the streets without appearing to give the matter much in the way of organized thought. Protesters in big Democratic cities routinely block bridges, freeways, and transit hubs, with cops often standing idly by while normie commuters reach the boiling point. Angry crowds are targeting government officials’ homes, including those of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Christmas morning. There has been violence outside of Democratic Party headquarters, violence outside the Museum of Tolerance, and at least one death resulting from a street clash, for which an allegedly counter-protesting assailant has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and battery causing serious injury.
