Chaos at Mayor's Residence in NYC as Competing Protests Collide

[worldstarcountry]

So I guess there was some anti-Islamic takeover protest being led in NYC at the official residence for the mayor Zohran Mamdani. There were also counter protestors called 'Drive the NAZIS out of NYC', perhaps supporters of the Mayor. At some point someone throws an improvised incendiary/smoke device into the crowd, but it fails thankfully, or was just ineffective. The protest leader against Mamdani was the same guy who broke an anti-ICE ice sculpture in Minnesota. Counter protestors were likely app ready agitators  on standby in the city waiting for marching orders, as they often are.

NEW YORK - Six people were arrested in dueling demonstrations outside Gracie Mansion on Saturday, according to the NYPD, including two people who were arrested for throwing "ignited devices" into the crowd.
Gracie Mansion protestWhat we know:
The demonstrations started around 11 a.m. on Saturday morning, March 7, outside Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence. More than 100 people gathered for dueling protests, police said.

The initial protest, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, was called "Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City."
Lang is the same person who went viral after he was arrested for destroying an anti-ICE ice sculpture in Minneapolis.
More than 120 people also gathered for a counter-protest called "Run the Nazis out of New York City."
Police said that tensions quickly escalated between the two sides, and officers had to separate the two protests. 
Shortly after 12:30 p.m., police said a counterprotester, identified as 18-year-old Emir Balat, lit and threw a device into the protest crowd, which hit a barrier and put itself out. Balat then ran, Tisch said, and got another similar device from another man, identified as 19-year-old Ibrahim Nikk, lit it, and ran toward the protest again. The counterprotester allegedly dropped the device, and officers arrested both Balat and Nikk.

Crazy New York just  being crazy as usual.

There is going to be a false flag event in NYC.

It was a homemade bomb.
An IED full of nuts, bolts, and screws used as shrapnel.

ETA: I wonder if he’ll get more punishment than somebody possessing an 11 round empty magazine. I doubt it. NY is cooked.

Comrade Mamdani screams 'globalize the intifada', which calls for violence based on race/religion.
His wife 'likes' social media posts celebrating the Oct 7 terrorist attacks.  HERE
Looks like they are getting a taste of what they've called for elsewhere.

I don't condone it.   But I'm not surprised by it.

This was for a different  thread,

lol. He's probably already out on bail and redesigning a new version.

CNN will describe it as "Explosive but mostly peaceful".

Certainly not more than the guy in the thread that lawfully defended himself in court and was thrown in jail later on other grounds.

But yeah, the pump is primed, and with America dubious about the next Act in the play that is the restructuring of the ME, someone is gonna have to skin the cat.

Trump doesn’t have the mental fortitude or moral compass to resist absolute hell unleashed.

We are so f’d.

It sounds like both sides were professional protesters.

It would not surprise me if both sides were funded by the same group.

This would not have made the news without the counter protesters.

Otherwise it would have just been a group of angry people outside in the cold. Hardly noticeable from the typical New Yorker.

It wouldn’t have made the news other than the fact that jihadi made a bomb, brought it to a “peaceful protest” and tried to use it.

Amateurs.

All sides are primed and ready to let loose the pups of war in US metropolitan areas soon.

ETA: what’s that Lassie? The US Embassy in Oslo just experienced an explosion? Oh no’s! Isn’t that in Europe though?

Ahem….
