| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The New York City Police Department is ramping up security for the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square over fears Pro-Palestine protestors are set to disrupt it. It is deploying thousands of officers to the area and could use a combination of robots, drones and detection dogs to prevent any interruption to the event, which annually attracts an estimated one million people. Mayor Eric Adams said he is 'sure' Pro-Palestine protestors will try to cause disruption at the famous New Year's Eve ball drop. 'We’re sure there’s gonna be some type of attempt this year,' he said at a news conference on Tuesday. 'Everyone looks for events like this if they want to do bad things, and the police department is on top of it.' It comes after the protestors, who are calling for a ceasefire as 21,000 Palestinians have been killed in the fight between Israel and Hamas, disrupted the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

| #11 DM also parroting paleo numbers KIA without sourcing. So they don't want anyone anywhere to have a fun, enjoyable time? Something the commies and jihadis have in common. Having fun outside the approved political system requires a degree of spare time and resources, shorthanded as prosperity. Prosperity diminishes reliance on the approved political system. |

| #6 Times Square was a cesspool when Koch and Dinkins were the mayors. Giuliani cleaned it up big time, and it was pretty safe. Then Bloomberg and de Blasio let it go to hell. |

| #5 There will be bozos that go to witness the riot. The bozos will get what they deserve. It won’t be NYE without a drunken Don Lemon, regardless. |
