Yesterday only more than 130 arrests were reported. 325 is a much happier number. The Daily Mail has lots of photos plus video taken by the furious father as he walked up to the protesters, but unfortunately not of him driving menacingly toward them.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A furious father was caught on camera confronting pro-Palestinian protesters blocking Williamsburg Bridge as he desperately tried to get home to his daughter.
New York was besieged by hundreds of demonstrators who blocked all major vehicle routes in and out of the city for more than an hour on Monday - leading to 325 arrests across the Big Apple.
The coordinated action hit the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, and Holland Tunnel, stopping traffic out of Manhattan.
One man trapped on the Williamsburg Bridge lost his patience when masked protesters stood in front of his Honda SUV and refused to let him pass.

He first yelled at a woman in a hi-vis vest who appeared to be organizing the obstruction, as she appeared to be trying to calm him down.
'You're disrupting traffic, idiots. You can't do that, that's against the law,' he shouted, then gave up and got out of the car to confront them directly.
'I'm gonna have to start throwing fists at y'all, I'm not gonna run you over... get away from my car.'
The man shoved three male protesters standing directly in front of his car, pushing one of them a second time when he moved back in place.
The hi-vis woman tried to defuse the situation as the man stopped pushing and screamed: 'Get away from my car, I have a daughter in Brooklyn.'
NYPD Chief John Chell said 325 people were arrested on Monday after blocking the bridges about 9.40am, until they were cleared out by 11.15am.
'In lieu of summons, many protestors will face misdemeanor charges with a desk appearance ticket,' he said.
That’ll make them change their behaviour, fer shur.
The New York Post yesterday reported that the sponsoring organizations were Shut It Down For Palestine, Democratic Socialists of America (Commies), Jewish Voice for Peace (Soros Foundations), and the Palestinian Youth Movement, (one of a number of virulently anti-Israel protest groups sponsored by the Westchester People’s Action Coalition). |
