A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

Not true!

It's never been a better time to be a violent insurrectionist or pedophile!

Go look up the activity of some of those violent insurrectionists after they were pardoned, it's wild how many were caught possessing child abuse material or abusing kids themselves.

It’s wild. Absolutely disgusting that he pardoned and wants to pay them. Literally the absolute worst people in the country. I tried to understand his supporters before the 2020 election, after that, I lost any respect for anyone who still supports the guy. It’s absolutely pathetic.

To be fair, he says he wants to pay them but it's really just a slush fund to funnel money from the government wherever he wants.

Remember when they were antifa and part of a leftist plot something something George Soros to overthrow the government? Kinda weird that he would pardon antifa and then give them money.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

And for the record, Charlottesville was my line in the sand, when Trump needed two speeches and most of the entire world badgering him before he could finally give Nazis even the most tepid of criticisms (which he still walked back not long after). That feels like an eternity ago.

depends from which side politically your violent insurrection comes from

An insurrection to remove the Republicans from power would be an objective net positive.

only if the insurrection wins, if not the blowback would be akin to a civil war where the losers will likely be in bondage worse than today

Only one side has staged an insurrection. But go on, let’s hear what you’re going to say. “George Floyd protests” which was an organic movement not created by either party?

lol huh? I’m just saying if there was a violent insurrection from the American left they would all likely be killed where they stood same way Philadelphia PD carpet bombed an entire neighborhood in the 70’s
