Diane from Endicott Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I just got home from the Columbus Day Parade in Binghamton. About 15 protesters blocked the street, right at Boscovs, the center of the parade. They were protesting inmate deaths at the Broome County jail. Many of us in the crowd were booing them. I was watching from the area of CVS on Court street. One of the protesters, a short heavyset gal, smelled so bad I could smell her from 50 feet away. A few of them were taken away in handcuffs.

ndirish Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Glad they arrested some of those losers. That's not the time nor the place for that type of protest, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThelmaHarper Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Back in my youth, we protested things- the war in Southeast Asia, mostly. I marched for women's rights. We protested many things, but we never disrupted the hard work of uninvolved children. We protested the war at military facilities, not a Columbus Day parade. These people are not activists, they are anarchists and idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drone1 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Oh you're protesting the jail - thank you for giving us a reason to put you in it. Idiots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pelo Honey Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Outrageous. And the comments under the stories on the FB pages are even worse. Someone said they were all BU students, but I saw several on the news that were much older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerSomeone Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Worng place. Wrong time. Wrong approach. All for the First Amendment, but it isn't a license to screw up other people's freedoms and rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19April1775 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I'll bet the world they were being paid. Big clue was the ANTIFA FASCIST masks. These are the kind of loons who control Pelosi and the House of Representatives right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knows I have been right for ever and is just mad. NGO's SABLE, NGO's! Those are non governmental organizations who are activists in the political world and sadly the Democrat party funnels our tax money to them to fight against us. Well maybe not all of us. If you support masked men and women shutting down Columbus Day parades, while being paid, that wouldn't be ALL of us I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 All of the other protesters in various cities are there for the" Indigenous People" but here in Binghamton they have to be different and protest the jail. One of my favorite memories...Columbus Day Parade, Tournament of Bands a month after 9/11...Vestal marched down Court St playing Holst Mars Bringer of War. It was dead silent.

ginger Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Well I see we are having Tournament of Bands and Italian Fest tomorrow. Hopefully they will skip the drama this year. I bet if it were their children marching in the band they wouldn't be behaving as they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
