New York City police arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters who blocked traffic at the entrances to the Holland Tunnel and three East River bridges during the Monday morning commute, officials said.

About 120 protesters were arrested while blocking entrances to the Holland Tunnel, which links downtown Manhattan with New Jersey, authorities said.

Protests also broke out at the Brooklyn Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge and Manhattan Bridge, which connect Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Pali-bros at it again......Small wonder they are losing more support and Israel gains support with every such incident.

I hope much hickory shampoo was applied.

Yes we can’t have people protesting in America. It’s against everything we believe.

Lol.

Your right to protest ends at my right to move from point A to B.

If you support the First Amendment, it doesn’t say anything about inconveniencing you.

That means it doesn't protect it.

They need to be quickly arrested, charged, tried, and fined/jailed. Right now all law enforcement does is wrist slaps and catch and release.

What a wonderful way to lose popular support, although most people over the age of 24 never supported their cause anyway.

Something about mass murder and rape will do that.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Just run over them.

Nobody would care

No. The Bill of Rights only speaks to limitations on government. It doesn’t limit the rights of the people.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

and government needs to do it's fucking job to get those people off roadways, where pedestrians aren't allowed for any reason, thus not breaking 1st amendment protections.

You certainly are a violent sort.

Fuck these Palestinian protesters. If they had the courage of their purported convictions they would travel to Gaza and fight the IDF. They spend a lot of time protesting. You would think they have the time and money to go there and fight.

Yep, prevent me from getting to the gun shop and I'll take issue with it.

Why haven’t you gone to Israel to join the IDF, to kill Palestinian babies?

I wonder how many people died trying to get to a hospital, ER, or medical clinic for critical care, emergency treatment, dialysis, etc.?

This is insurrection.

Time place manner. The protest was illegal.

Yup. Protest is fine. Trapping people in their vehicles is tantamount to kidnapping.

Run the fuckers over.

They are doing a swimmingly good job of it themselves....Nits make lice.

Blocking major roads isn't a peaceful assemble.

You support terrorists. Your words are of no value.
