Ok, so here’s what IS curious to me: it’s the quiestest night I’ve had around my way in a week at least.
Also, I didn’t see anything on twitter or IG saying “we riding out.”
So... who these people? And how’d they organize? https://twitter.com/nyscanner/status/1275278080580489217
That’s actually maybe more interesting to me than the mystery of where the fireworks came from, bc NY’ers with cars in the city ain’t giving up parking spaces while alternate side parking is in effect to drive past and honk at Mike
So there just happens to be a drive-by protest at Gracie on the night things had already calmed down?

K.
LIU sweatshirt. I knew it.

All white people, mostly white men, and do I see yamakas or is that just hair?
This PROTEST is a fucking opp. I’m planting my flag on that.
NYPD ain’t breaking up this shit in front of the Govorner’s mansion? They don’t like DeBlasio but... Yeah, this is some kind of attempt at a lesson for not backing PD completely... or something... I’m betting
I meant to say Bill here, but y’all knew that.

These people don’t live in the city. These people live in BK on the LI border and/or in Long Island.
Ok, a general fck DeBlasio protest makes more sense. Still VERY curious how quiet it also is all over the city tonight as opposed to the last week, though.

So ppl came from Brooklyn to keep everybody in the Manhattan buildings you see on the left awake, as part of a protest to keep DeBlasio in the house circled in red awake, bc they want police to be able to stop the fireworks? Also something about parks? And police support. Ok.
There’s a Black BK councilman out there too, apparently.
Again, primary day is tomorrow. This is elaborate campaigning. But do that shit in YOUR borough, TF.
Yup... BK Councilman Chaim Deutsch, who seems to be the defacto leader here, is endorsed by miltiple law enforcement and union groups plus RT’s Trump supporters, so, yeah, def some coordinated bs around this.
