More than 100,000 patriotic New Yorkers peacefully walked from the heart of the Big Apple to Lower Manhattan on Saturday at the "No Kings" march in protest of President Trump and his policies, including the escalation of violence against United States citizens.

A sea of humanity began assembling at Father Duffy Square at around 11 a.m. on Oct. 18. Encompassed by the flashing billboard lights of Times Square, fuming New Yorkers held signs reading "ICE out of NYC," "fight fascism," and "we love America."

In the days leading up to the march, protesters promised that it would remain peaceful, a pledge they kept according to the NYPD.

"The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests," The NYPD wrote in X.

The news is not that there was a demonstration. We know that. What's news is that there were no protest-related arrests. Same for Chicago.

Hat tip, the NBC TV news.

The photos in the article are worth a look.

1. I wonder how this compares to the June protest. nt

3. Ours was much larger and much livlier. Good vibes.

2. Question. Could 100,000 MAGAts march without violence?

Never.

4. 100,000 magats won't gather to do anything.

They’re incredibly lazy. Lazy thinkers, lazy patriots, lazy Americans. They don’t love the country. They believe the apprentice is real. They’re watching what’s happening from the couch that Vance is humping.
