About 150 protesters blocked traffic in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral early on New Year’s Day—and someone marred the facade of the church with graffiti during the demonstration, according to cops. Police responded to a disorderly group of protesters at 51st Street and Fifth Avenue around 1:30 a.m., cops said. Video posted to Twitter by freelance reporter Oliya Scootercaster shows the group standing in front of police cars—which had their lights and sirens on—blocking their way. Some protesters pounded on the hoods of the cruisers. The protesters, affiliated with Black Lives Matter Brooklyn and Justice for George, started marching at the Stonewall Inn

So...this is their tactic to win friends and influence people to their...(ahem clearing me throat) "issues and concerns"?
Indeed OP, there’s no pleasing some people, no matter what. They want us all outraged, angry, and as unhappy as they always are.

Why do they keep calling these thugs "protesters"? Call them what they are - anarchists and rioters!

#1 is right. Some people would complain if you hung them with a brand new rope!

Sort of reminds me of Judges 21:25: "In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit."

Which is kind of ironic and ignorant, since most of the current 'leadership' of the Catholic Church is just as Marxist and 'down with the schtruggle' as they are.

"Started marching at the Stonewall Inn." Of course they did. So now it's Black Gay Lives Matter?

No one arrested?!! This is yet another breakdown in NYC law enforcement due to negligent city pols! The dem led cities tolerate, even encourage, disrespect for others & civil disobedience. Electing such political leaders is folly at best, insane at worse!

Only the ignorant and weak in democratic run cities put up with this scum. They target the weak and will continue to do so until somebody grows a spine.

January 1st is the Solemnity of Mary in which we celebrate Mary as the Mother of Jesus. It is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics. What these angry, destructive people do not understand is that by desecrating a cathedral, they chip away at themselves, which will only lead to more anger and misery. Pray for their conversion. He died for them, too.

I am sick and tired of these lawless punks getting away with breaking the law. It’s time to take back our country by making it a land of laws which are followed and, if they are broken, the offenders have consequences. What purpose did defacing St. Patrick’s serve? It’s all about destruction of our history. I have been pushed to my limit. I have no sympathy for these criminals. None.

Hey BLM, remember George Floyd died of an overdose of drugs he ingested when arrested and was a published pornstar.

Thanks for nothing, Mayor DeBlasio. This is going on on your watch so you are responsible for it. You remind me of Nero the violin player. You were out dancing while NYC burns.

Nothing to see here, as the people in danger there were just churchgoers.

There's been a lot of this sort of thing lately. This happens when you shut down society (surprise!).....lots of bored, angry 'groups' roaming around, apparently with nothing else to do.

Behold, progressivism in a nutshell. They have a radical Marxist mayor with a bLACK lesbian wife pushing BLM, a feckless corrupt idiot far-left governor, and a senile crooked Democrat pResident with a far-left Woman of Color waiting in the wings to take control. Homosexual marriage is the law of the land per federal mandate, perversion is applauded by corporations everywhere, children are encouraged to "transition," men in dresses can use the ladies room, and the cops let them go after banging on police cars. And still they're angry, waving their transgender and Puerto Rican flags.
