At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.
Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.
A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.
Fake democracy
I prefer the term managed democracy.
Eh, they disrupted a private business. They were absolutely trespassing. They knew they were trespassing. Forcing an arrest here is part of the civil disobedience and creating this headline.
Oh no! Not a private business, whatever shall we do now?! Poor business has feelings too /s
