There you are, mingling with friends, minding your own business, trying to spend a little downtime in the city.
Did you see a matinee? Schmaybe went to a museum or shopping.
Time to get home as the afternoon wanes, so you head back to Grand Central for the train into New Jersey or wherever and then...HAMASHOLES ATTACK.
Protesters with Within Our Lifetime clashed with NYPD outside Grand Central on Saturday, trying to storm the terminal. Four were arrested. NYPD shut it down fast—only a few slipped through. Solid response that kept the chaos from spilling further inside. pic.twitter.com/RBhNCtxWwI

Can't somebody get a handle on these raving jackasses?
Anti-Israel protesters clashed with police outside Grand Central Terminal Saturday — resulting in four arrests, cops and sources said.
The chaos erupted around 3:30 p.m. when hundreds of demonstrators that had been marching in Manhattan attempted to storm the transit hub’s doors, forcing officials to lock and barricade the iconic building.
The unruly crowd was part of a protest organized by Palestinian activist group Within Our Lifetime that started outside City Hall earlier in the afternoon, according to police.
These sick sociopaths have nothing better to do than make everyday residents' lives miserable and try to bait the everyday transit cops and rookies.
LANGUAGE WARNING: The curses they hurl at the MTA cops and rookies guarding the door are so vile and disgusting, they are damn near a physical assault on your ears. Eventually, some of the officers snap.
NOW: Multiple NYPD and MTA police officers, some rookies, began arguing with protesters and attacked them after getting their ego hurt.

Cops began to attack people after arguing with them. Some grabbed were just filming and beaten by multiple officers. pic.twitter.com/FmGkdIXQY1
I can't say as I blame them. Who the hell would want this job?
There are two schools of thought regarding leadership as the city's mayoral election is looming over every move and amplifying the anxiety.
The 'What if Mamdani's in charge?' chorus when his buddies with Palestinian flags run amok.
Shutting down Grand Central Terminal will not, in fact, free Palestine. Regardless, what will Mamdani do as mayor? Tell police to prevent the takeover or let the mostly peacefully protesters take over the train station? These are things I'd like asked _before_ the election. pic.twitter.com/1XBtWAfP8X

And the 'Hey, let me remind you Adams may suck, but at least he's pro-cop' side of the argument.
This was Grand Central Terminal yesterday. Eric Adams is the firewall keeping NYC from becoming Chicago 2.0—vetoing activist insanity, backing cops, and blocking Mamdani’s “defund the NYPD” death wish.

Enough of the vermin made it into the three-quarters-empty station to cause a scene on the staircase, but fortunately, not enough to jack up the flow of travelers trying to get from Point A to B.
Just took over Grand Central Terminal‼️🇵🇸🇵🇸 pic.twitter.com/wOsADlAXZS

Cops did a pretty good job of getting the place locked down quickly.
Within Our Lifetime, the Hamasholes who organized this gathering, are another one of those 'non-profits' that get to pay no taxes and do crap like this with the millions they raise.
They also have shadowy but real ties to terrorist organizations, as many of these Palestinian supporting groups do, and hardcore members of other organizations frequent their gatherings and marches.
This is from yesterday’s Within Our Lifetime protest.

Watch the guy in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) headband — he shows up multiple times and has a distinctive snake tattoo on his forearm.
These are the kinds of people showing up at WOL protests. And… pic.twitter.com/wnx01Y7LKS
...These are the kinds of people showing up at WOL protests. And if you didn’t already know, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.
Here’s another example from a separate Within Our Lifetime protest. This isn’t an isolated incident.

If you have more examples. I suggest dropping them below! https://t.co/jGfhf5fZL1
So it's not innocent, spontaneous grassroots marching by any means. It's all completely orchestrated and overseen by some pretty sinister forces who are on site to keep an eye on things. And no doubt light a spark if the opportunity presents itself.
As well, there are certain mayoral candidates sympathetic to the cause present at these gatherings, who actually participate when they are so inclined and have some time on their hands.
This was posted by WOL Palestine (Within Our Lifetime). The same pro-Hamas organization that “protests” every single week in NYC. They were also heavily involved in the college encampments in April of 2024.

Which should, again, give any rational New York voter serious concern if they've heard about it.
Within Our Lifetime already has a well-established reputation for life-threatening violence in the city.
"The NYPD saved my life," said 33-year-old accountant Joey Borgen, who in 2021 survived a beating from agitators affiliated with the anti-Semitic organization Within Our Lifetime.

..."If the NYPD weren’t there, I wouldn’t be talking to you right now. Just straight up, like, they saved my life."
And yet, the leading candidate for mayor has worked with them repeatedly.
Holy smokes.
Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Democratic Socialist and, terrifyingly enough, has a real chance to become the next mayor of New York City. The man's associations with shadowy radical terrorist organizations should have New Yorkers, and especially the Jews in the city, outraged. Instead, he's a contender!
