A teenage anti-Israel agitator who police say defaced a World War I memorial in New York City earlier this week has been arrested and charged after his father turned him in to police Thursday night, the NYPD says.
The 16-year-old boy is accused of defacing the 107th United States Infantry monument, located along Central Park on the Upper East Side, by spray-painting "Gaza" in red across the base of the structure.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry, last night posted an image on X, formerly Twitter, of the young vandal in handcuffs sitting on a bench inside a police station.
BTW, they also said this SIXTEEN year old is a regular at all these protests. Looks like Dad finally had enough of his kid's bullshit, and made him actually face the consequences for his actions.
In the midst of all these protests and riots that are all to common in this country, we constantly hear how protesting is sewn into the fabric of our 1st Amendment rights. Okay, I get it, but "protests" these days have very little to do with an actual cause anymore, and more to do with a chance to destroy shit and show what an utter dumbass you can be.
The anti-Israel protests have been going on for some time, and the longer the they go, the more destruction and vandalism we see. Some college campuses are basically shutting down activities like commencement ceremonies, or the school altogether. Each day, we see interviews with some of the protesters, and I just have to shake my head at the thought of the future of this country.
Oftentimes, we see that a lot of these idiots have no idea why they're out there, or what they're trying to accomplish. And three times in the last week, I've seen these entitled pricks claiming the University is letting them down, because they're not providing food and water and basic necessities to the very assholes who have taken over the campus.
And speaking of accomplishments, what exactly have you accomplished? Let's see. You've shut down campuses. Participated in blatant racism. Vandalized property. Taken over buildings. Shut down traffic. Oh yeah, gotten hundreds of you arrested. Have you changed one damn thing? That would be a big, fat NOPE!
What did the George Floyd protests/riots accomplish? There were well over 500 of them across the nation, so they must have caused significant change, right? Change to the tune of over $500 million in property damage, an estimated 60% of which was uninsured. 25 deaths and countless people's lives ruined. Well, I guess you can say there were a lot of cities who decided to defund their police departments and put more people out of work, and make those cities less safe. Job well done.
How about the Ferguson "protests? In the Ferguson area alone, an estimated $4.6 million in damage to buildings and an estimated 17 businesses completely destroyed. Why? I'll never forget the live coverage and one reporter standing outside a burning building and saying, "This is no protest. This is like a carnival atmosphere."
How about January 6th? Donald Trump told the crowd to march up to the Capitol and peacefully make your voices heard. Idiots couldn't stop there, though. They had to go next level and basically take over the building. Damage was done and at least one life lost. Did you accomplish a damn thing? How bout', NOOOOOO......!
I get protesting. I get making your voice heard. But we're to the point that all too often, it morphs into nothing more than an opportunity to show what a brain dead moron you really are. Time to start changing some laws. You want to protest? Fine. You want to fuck things up? Fine too, but you won't be doing it again.
