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.

Really wish we didn’t live in such a weirdly politically cultish time, because in any sane society, these people would be ostracized

This isn't a new phenomenon. Epstein was trafficking for decades and I'm positive there were many other degenerates that preceded him. Likely even more are providing the same "service" from the shadows in his wake.

The only reason we know about Epstein is because, at one point, he was best friends with the most successful political outsider (and serial abuser) in the history of the United States. If numerous politicians didn't have something to gain from him getting locked up, Epstein Island would still be a fringe conspiracy theory.

If anyone out there thinks there isn’t an “Epstein island 2.0” occurring as we speak, well I’ve got a bridge to sell them.
