NYC protesters march in streets to disrupt Black Friday

Hundreds of protesters hell bent on bringing down Black Friday marched from Macy’s Herald Square to Times Square Friday afternoon – blocking traffic on Broadway as they brazenly walked through the middle of the street.

Chanting loudly, the angry activists brandished signs bearing slogans like, “no justice, no peace” and “we won’t take it anymore” as they clogged up one of Manhattan’s main arteries while on their way to 42nd Street.

No justice! No peace! No racist police!” the crowd shouted in unison.

The demonstrators gathered outside of Herald Square around 1 p.m. on Friday to boycott one of the country’s biggest shopping days. Some even managed to make it inside the department store, where they shamed deal-seeking shoppers as police followed them around inside.

The protest, which was organized by The Rockaway Youth Task Force and Million Hoodies Movement for Justice, is part of a larger, nationwide effort to put a stop to shopping on Black Friday in the wake of a grand jury’s decision not to indict slain teenager Michael Brown.

On Thursday, seven rabble-rousers were arrested and issued desk appearance tickets after knocking down metal barricades that kept them out of Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day Parade.


How do you spell relief?

Here's how: This message is hidden because N.M. Valdez is on your shit list.
