Radical protesters are losing their minds (what little they have left of them, at any rate) over the death of Jordan Neely.
Neely was restrained by a Marine and multiple other people after he allegedly began threatening people on the subway. He later died at the hospital and his death is being investigated. Neely had a history of violent behavior.
But because Neely was black and the Marine was white (even though people restraining Neely were also black), the left is making Neely’s death another “cause” for which to demand “justice.” Democratic politicians immediately spread lies about Neely’s death, including claiming that he was killed just because he was riding on the subway, whipping the left up. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) even called it a “murder.”
Listen as the person speaking to the small radical crowd calls to “tear the city up” if they don’t get “justice.”
So the response now these idiots is to go wacko and jump on the train tracks to stop the trains, so people can’t get back and forth, to get attention.
They chanted, “No justice, no peace.”
They said things that had nothing to do with this case — no officers “took black lives” and “silence is violence” is ridiculous leftist nonsense.
Where were they when Neely was being violent with other people? Was their silence “violence”?
Then, as if jumping on the tracks wasn’t crazy enough, they decided to truly go over the edge, get in fights with the police, and scream at other New Yorkers. I don’t even think they care about justice. All they care about is sowing chaos, in my opinion. But trying to take on the police did not end well for them, as the police wrestled them to the ground and arrested several of them. And yes, the person in the green is a guy.
Here you see the black guy with the bull horn trying to help “de-arrest” the person on the ground. Leftists do this whenever one of their own is being arrested, they try to grab them back.
Here, one of the protesters keeps the door open so the train can’t leave. An officer tries to remove her as another idiot screams in the officer’s face, “Why are you touching her?” Um, because she’s obstructing the operation of the train? This isn’t hard. But again, as with every leftist, what they think and want trumps all other people’s wants and the law, in their minds.
Warning for language:
Some of them still didn’t learn their lesson and continued the fight with the police above ground as well.
One who looked in great health started yelling he couldn’t breathe. No one is on him as he says it, and he obviously can breathe. It looked like it was performance art. He even then laughably said he was “calling the cops.”
At least one officer was injured in the melee. He was carried off as a protester shouted in the background, “I hope you die!”
One subway worker summed up how dangerous all this truly was, noting they could have been electrocuted and a couple of hundred people disrupted thousands with their insanity.
But it seems like radicals just care about pushing the chaos.
