Fox Reacts To Garner Decision: ‘Hope Nothing Happens In NYC… We’ve Got The Tree Lighting Ceremony’

[kpete]

Today, a grand jury decided not to indict David Pantaleo, the police officer who killed Eric Garner with an illegal chokehold. Moments after the decision was announced, Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson expressed her deep concern about the outcome. Not concern that the police killed Garner, who was allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes, without facing legal repercussions. But concern that anger over the decision could impact a “the tree lighting ceremony” scheduled for that evening at Rockefeller Center.

..........

Carlson’s worst fears may come true. The New York Times’ Mike Grynbaum reported that “The mayor’s appearance tonight at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting has been canceled.”

6. It's a perfect

place and time to protest. The center will be full of rich white people. Government bums will be there to meet and greet the rich white people. The lighting of the Christmas tree signals the start of the shopping season. Whites don't care of blacks burn down their own towns. But if the local hi-end stores close early because of protesters in the streets now they will hear you.
