Chokehold protest turns violent: Angry activists block subway trains in Manhattan, and start brawls with police in protest over death of Jordan Neely by ex-Marine
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Yet another excuse for Black Bloc antics.
  • Anger over the death of Jordan Neely, who was killed by a chokehold inflicted by a US Marine, led protestors to jump onto the track of the NYC subway system

  • Photos and videos captured the protest group taking over the Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street subway stop on the Upper East Side on Saturday evening

  • Protesters standing on the tracks prominently displayed their protest signs calling for justice in the death of Jordan Neely, 30, who died from a chokehold

  • Protestors marched from downtown all the way up to the Upper East Side before they went down into the subway system to stop the trains

#1 They should certainly hope that the driver of the oncoming subway car does see them and that he can stop the train in time. Otherwise...well, never argue over the right of way with something that outweighs you by several tons.

#2 So basically what we have is:
The NYC THUG Union protesting the intervention of honest citizens (likely due to Defund Police). For stopping a known Mentally ILL, known violent criminal, with 42 known prior arrests and with an known outstanding assault warrant for arrest.

I can only hope those protesting used the 3rd subway rail, to highlight their protest.
