Fists Fly in NYC Park As Sickos Hold Vigil for the Murderous, Dead Ayatollah Khamenei

Washington Square Park is located in lower Manhattan, just a two-minute subway ride from Ground Zero, and it’s seen many a protest over its 199-year history: Abolitionist Protests in the 1800s, antiwar gatherings in the ’60s, BLM demonstrations in the 2020s, and many more.

 Twenty-four years ago, you could smell the smoke and death from the Twin Towers' collapse on 9/11.

On Friday, however, a group of unexpected visitors descended upon the square: people fond of the currently beleaguered oppressive regime that has run the country of Iran since 1979, along with its murderous leader, (former) Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Khamenei, of course, had his pulse stopped by joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28 in Operation Epic Fury.

Not everyone was thrilled to see them there:

Chaos erupted in Washington Square Park in Manhattan as a vigil mourning the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei descended into violence Friday.

Video from the event showed a man attempting to pull down a poster of the dictator, who was killed last week in an Israeli airstrike, when a man wearing a SpongeBob sweatshirt punched him in the face, sending him to the ground.

Others began fighting, prompting New York City Police Department (NYPD) intervention.

As the brawl unfolded, the crowd could be heard shouting profanity.

A fight broke out, with one person on each side taken away arrested by NYPD.

It’s disturbing that so many would honor a man who has killed thousands of his own people, took a once somewhat free country into some weird modern version of the Stone Age, served as the leader of the world’s number one sponsor of terrorism, and treated women like farm animals.

What decent person would celebrate such a devilish character? Yet, there they were:

There appears to have been plenty of violence as those rightfully disgusted by the Khamenei lovers became incensed:

One man was also spotted yanking an Iranian flag out of another person’s hands. NYPD officers swiftly rushed in and pulled protesters apart, cuffing those involved in the fight.

One man was hauled away in cuffs with blood pouring down his forehead following the confrontation. Another man was arrested against the arch itself. A third masked protester could be seen being hurled into the back of a police cruiser.

I never advocate for people to get violent, but it’s certainly easy to see why this thing went south. To celebrate a bloodthirsty Islamic extremist in the city that saw over 3,000 die in the 9/11 tragedy was almost certainly going to provoke a reaction.

We have a First Amendment that allows these Ayatollah acolytes to demonstrate, but that same amendment allows me to say that I find it disgusting.

Question about the above tweet: what on earth does George Floyd have to do with the Iran situation? Nothing. 

Leftists are so weird. Unhinged and dangerous, yes, but also just plain strange.

Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
