Well if you are going to spout out IGNORANT statements in the future, I suggest you get more informed about current affairs and avoid looking stupid...if possible.
LOL! Yes, you nailed me there. There were hundreds and hundreds of arrests nationwide, and you managed to dig up two White leftist fruities from super-blue Brooklyn NYC.
Well, let's see who these two characters are since you were too lazy to provide a source for your own claim.
Okay, I think I found it. LOL! Now, please tell me that these are not the two White leftists that you referenced as "rioters". The first one, Eric Linsker, is an adjunct professor at CUNY who makes his students read violent erotic poetry that he writes, and he smokes marijuana.
According to his attorney: “At worst, Eric picked up a garbage can, was told by police to put it down, and did,” said the lawyer, Martin Stoler.
The second leftist character, Richard Lynch, is a Staten Island botanist and Occupy Wall Street protester. He was hit with a disorderly conduct charge for allegedly disrupting traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge during a demonstration that turned violent Saturday.
He doesn't face any charges in connection with an alleged assault on police that took place during the protest. Rather, he is charged with violating a traffic rule prohibiting pedestrians from walking on the roadway part of the bridge, and with disorderly conduct.
An NYPD spokesman said that unlike the other protesters, Lynch was walking eastbound on the bridge's westbound roadway, and that a vehicle had to swerve to avoid striking him.
Please tell me that I picked the wrong cases and that you have something more substantial that Linsker's and Lynch's little sissy crimes of picking up and putting down a garbage can, carrying marijuana, and walking the wrong way in traffic. Please tell me that these are the wrong cases and not the ones that you were referring to.

Busted poet-protester, who allegedly assaulted cops, rhymes: 'F--- the police'
nydailynews.com
excerpt:
He’s a police-hating poet.
The Brooklyn bard who cops say was at the center of a violent protest Saturday night on the Brooklyn Bridge was once known more for his erotic poetry interspersed with expletives aimed at the police.
Eric Linsker, 29, struggled with an officer after the cop ordered him to put down a trash can he was allegedly about to toss from the walkway to the Manhattan-bound roadway, authorities said.
Linsker got his hands free and fled, but was arrested at his Crown Heights home early Sunday, a police spokesman said.
The poet and adjunct CUNY professor did not comment as he was escorted from the 5th Precinct stationhouse in Chinatown sporting a leather jacket, handcuffs and chains around his ankles.
He also did not comment about the arrest after he was arraigned Sunday night and released on his own recognizance. About 20 supporters were on hand as he left the Centre St. courthouse.
Before his run-in with the law, Linsker was scribbling stanzas about psychedelic sex and disdain for the cops.
“F--- the police/To rise as you/Disappear below current/Interpretations of observations/F--- the police,” he wrote for Adult-Mag, an online publication.
Linsker’s roommate Chris Balmer said the poet’s writing often wrestles with the issues that galvanized some 30,000 protesters Saturday in the wake of decisions by grand juries not to indict the cops who killed Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
“Police brutality is a big theme,” Balmer said. “He’s frequented these protests. He was extremely upset (but) he’s not a violent person.”
Linsker was a lauded graduate student in the prestigious writing program at the University of Iowa. He also attended Harvard, and now teaches at Queens College and Baruch College, according to his Facebook profile.
One review on Rate My Professors said Linsker pursues carnal subject matter.
“The readings are pretty weird. . . . I mean, if you love reading about sex in the most poetically disturbing way possible, go for it,” a student wrote last month.
Linsker was charged with assault, weapons and marijuana possession, resisting arrest and rioting.
His lawyer said two of the charges — assault and rioting — were not even propped up by cops in the criminal complaint.
“At worst, Eric picked up a garbage can, was told by police to put it down, and did,” said the lawyer, Martin Stoler.
During the chaos of the Saturday night melee, protesters prevented cops from apprehending Linsker, police said, and two cops were allegedly injured. Court papers allege that objects “were coming down from the pedestrian walkway as if they were being thrown on the police.”
Cops said they recovered Linsker’s bag, which contained hammers and a pill bottle of pot — but his hammers were not used in the violence, cops said.
A second protester, Richard Lynch, was arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge at 7:30 p.m. Saturday given a desk appearance ticket for disorderly conduct, police said.
Both the NYPD and Mayor de Blasio slammed the violence as an unacceptable departure from the mostly peaceful protests that have overrun the city since a Staten Island grand jury chose not to indict Daniel Pantaleo for the killing of Eric Garner.
“Let us be clear: there is no place whatsoever for violence of any kind, whether against the police or against our fellow citizens, in New York City,” de Blasio said.
But de Blasio’s statement was not enough for Dennis Gonzalez, president of the NYPD Hispanic Society.
“Many elected officials are quick to speak out against police officers but now that we need them to calm our city where is their press conference on the steps of City Hall?” Gonzalez said. |
