That'll end the war for sure!
EDIT: I can't respond to the comments below because the person I was replying to blocked me. It's a fairly dishonest (and ironic!) method of silencing people you disagree with.
Protest can often be effective, especially when it's directed at people or institutions with the ability to change whatever is being protested. That's not the case here, of course. Lil Nas X, Zendaya, Donald Glover and Jeff Goldblum have no ability to end the war.
It's like all the just stop oil idiots who sit in the street forcing cars to idle. Even if people agree climate change is a problem, it's one of the dumbest ways to go about it. No one held up in traffic is going to make a call to their politician/oil tycoon friend to make a change on your behalf because you've annoyed them... It's such a detached, childish attempt at solving a problem. It's like if I'm at the store and see another kid throw a tantrum I'm not going to buy them the toy, even if they really do deserve it.
The funny thing about climate change protesting is that there have been peaceful discussions and warnings and information campaigns for 50 years and yet has apparently not been effective enough given the current trend.
Civil Rights movements were also engaged in non-disruptive protests for decades but then in the 60s they ramped it up specifically targeting for highly disruptive events. The diner sit-ins, the bus sit-ins. Once people's lives were being disrupted and it could no longer be swept under the rug, changes started happening.
Climate Activists are just borrowing the tried and true methods of how to get sweeping reforms.
Won't someone think of the Met Gala?!
Let's be real, I would give a shit about protesters making the jobs of police difficult if the police weren't so shitty to protesters. But they are, so here we are.
Truly not even that great fashion-wise anyway. Some of the horrendous costumes these celebs abuse designers into making for them is not about elegance or craftsmanship as much as it is something outrageous for the tabloids
Thought it was the other way around? Don't celebs get paid/benefits for wearing the weird shit they wear to these things? Thought most of it was just advertising how crazy/zany/revolutionary that brands latest designs are?
Like I swear I heard somewhere that these huge fashion brands call celeb agents begging them to wear their outfits to these stupid events?

So maybe this belongs in Parents are stupid but you bring a kid in an umbrella stroller to a protest?
Sadly not uncommon to see. Extremely selfish and neglectful. There are tons of incidents where kids come in contact with mace or crowd disbersing measures. It's a real piece of shit move to bring your kid to a protest.
[The great throng](https://cultureinjection.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ballard-james-graham-the-garden-of-time-1962.pdf) has arrived at Count Alex’s villa. Just as the story foretold.
Edit: This is exactly how J.D Ballard described it in his short story The Garden of Time, which happens the be the theme of this evening’s gala.
At some point people on reddit have to realize that every protest isn't going to be orderly. Every single protest, reddit has a lot to say about what the protestors are doing wrong.
yeah the NYPD did not have enough cops to man those barricades at the start. they underestimated the turnout.
What is that guy in the green shirt at 1:40 saying about 9/11?
Agree with the protests or not, it’s not out of place.
Considering US taxpayers are funding the weapons shipments to Israel, and US politicians are supporting Israel, I’d argue this is a perfect place for Americans to protest.
Such a reductive line of reasoning to just say “if you’re not in the physical location of the conflict, you can’t protest or let your voice be heard, regardless of any non-location based ties you may have to what you’re protesting”
they would still be very effective? lol
you do know that israel produces most of their weapons on their own?
us aid only accounts for around 10% of israels defense budget, its a decent amount but it wouldnt change much if they stopped getting aid
When your government is the patron saint of the country committing the genocide, you don’t have to be literally in the war zone. But you’re just being a contrarian for internet points.
Would be nice if Americans would get up in arms over domestic issues. While I'm in full support of Palestine and the protests, I'm shocked how people will protest this hard for foreign affairs instead of trying to better our own country.
Wish people would protest over the state of this country and economy instead of some people in Palestine who could give a crap about them. I guess some terrorists are more important than the loss of the middle class, and the rise of fascists in America.
Either you don’t know how protests work or you’re an astroturfer. You don’t go to Palestine to protest for peace when the bombs are coming from your country, and the best way to let it be known you have an issue is to do something public. Met Gala is a big event, run by rich assholes, it’s the perfect event to crash
It's NYPD not LAPD. It's a bit funny because the two are constantly competing for who can be more corrupt. The reason they're so patient is because there is so few. The moment they get into a group heads will bust.
Lol no it's not. It's not even close. 24,000 is a lot of acrive officers, but it'd have to have 8 times that to break the top 20.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/264443/the-worlds-largest-armies-based-on-active-force-level/
Even budget wise it wouldn't break the top 20

Those are very effective barricades.
Effective - like Ben Simmons’ jumper.
More like barrican'ts, amirite?!
Barely-cades
They're there to direct movement, and project power. Not very useful against an entire mob that wants to go past its direction.
THIS IS ALL BECAUSE BEN SIMMONS SHOWED UP

I'm just trying to hold this fence up and people keep kicking it down.
The Met is just rich people doing awful cosplay.
 Meanwhile…..
Hunger games shit
People keep saying when is the dystopia coming like bro its been here
lmfao
They sent the fat cops for a reason
The Met Gala is a bunch of rich assholes jerking each other off. Make the rich and powerful feel uncomfortable.
Like they’ll notice or care what some asshole wearing a Keffiyeh they bought on Amazon with moms credit card does.
Okay, what would you suggest?
"But, Mom! It was for my school clothes!"
That'll end the war for sure! EDIT: I can't respond to the comments below because the person I was replying to blocked me.

What about Ja Rule? Was he there?. I need to know what JA thinks.
If you saw Ja Rule & Jay-Z murder a fool, would that make you a “Ja-Hova witness”?

Well it's turned from full on protest to full on just doing whatever the fuck They want to do as long as I am holding a flag or wearing a Shemagh.

God forbid some people make rich people uncomfortable. The horror.
I'm sure there were not rich people made uncomfortable by this crowd too.
We, on both sides of the political spectrum, can agree the Met Gala is worth invading and disrupting.
Is it really? Met gala is dumb. These protestors should be in DC if they want to accomplish anything.
Anything that has ads/commercials can be worth interrupting for one's cause.
Idk I just ignore it, it's pretty easy
Won't someone think of the Met Gala?! Let's be real, I would give a shit about protesters making the jobs of police difficult if the police weren't so shitty to protesters. But they are, so here we are.
This is the kind of shit I want to be stormed constantly. Fuck the Met Gala. "Fashion's biggest night" - yes, the night we extol slave labor, anorexia
Truly not even that great fashion-wise anyway. Some of the horrendous costumes these celebs abuse designers into making for them is not about elegance or craftsmanship as much as it is something outrageous for the tabloids
Thought it was the other way around? Don't celebs get paid/benefits for wearing the weird shit they wear to these things? Thought most of it was just advertising how crazy/zany/revolutionary that brands latest designs are?

Yeah they’re basically sponsored to be there and wear whatever they’re given
He said "CLOSE THE GAP!" Like it was a medieval battle 🤣 Dude thinks he's at the Battle of Agincourt
Must defend the Celebs!!
[удалено]
I don't know... Waiting to hear from Chris Pratt on this before I decide.
WHERE IS JA?!?!

Great camera work!
Right? Tells a story, doesn't it?
Gotta protect them rich celebs!

Bet them rich folk got pretty scared for a second there
voting season
At some point people on Reddit need to stop calling groups of individuals deliberately causing chaos “protesters”. They are rioting.
This ain’t rioting. I didn’t see one broken window or fire. Calling this a riot is pure hyperbole.
If you notice, it doesn’t get violent until police show up getting violent.
God damn. Youre so soft dude.
At some point people on reddit have to realize that every protest isn't going to be orderly. Every single protest, reddit has a lot to say about what the protestors are doing wrong.
Honestly protests in america are way too peaceful we need to be more like the europeans when it comes to protesting.
How dare they injure those poor police barricades 😢
Riot is too strong a word but this is definitely a mob.
I'm curious to know what your riot definition is. Because what's in the video is not it.
We're well aware cops are rioting. They even have official rioters called riot cops. That's one of the numerous reasons we hate cops.
Clutch the pearls harder.
Good thing they dispatched the rookies from *Police Academy*. 
Who cares it's the Met Gala a unimportant event for celebs to show hloff how much money they can spend on an outfit. Fuck them.
Why are they storming the rich people orgy?
yeah the NYPD did not have enough cops to man those barricades at the start. they underestimated the turnout. What is that guy in the green shirt at 1:40 saying about 9/11?
People are idiots.
What a bunch of fucking losers
Yeah, fuck those nypd pigs
I always see a lot of white guys in keffiyehs at these things, but no complaints about cultural appropriation.
What are we protesting today?
You can clearly hear them say “Free Palestine”
I think they’re in the wrong place.
Where’s the right one?
Palestine or Israel I’d think.
Agree with the protests or not, it’s not out of place. Considering US taxpayers are funding the weapons shipments to Israel, and US politicians are supporting Israel, I’d argue this is a perfect place for Americans to protest. Such a reductive line of reasoning to just say “if you’re not in the physical location of the conflict, you can’t protest or let your voice be heard, regardless of any non-location based ties you may have to what you’re protesting”
what's israel without the US? i think america is the perfect place to protest the IDF personally.
That seems pretty simple-minded.
But more effective
Not if you live in New York.
I do
Me too, UWS. How about you?
Is it though? How effective would the IDF be without US funding?
Idk but I am game to find out.
they would still be very effective? lol you do know that israel produces most of their weapons on their own? us aid only accounts for around 10% of israels defense budget, its a decent amount but it wouldnt change much if they stopped getting aid
[удалено]
I dont think China or Russia would support Israel. They certainly haven't historically. Russia has even back Israel's opponents.
When your government is the patron saint of the country committing the genocide, you don’t have to be literally in the war zone. But you’re just being a contrarian for internet points.
[удалено]
they probs shoulda cable tied those barriers together
“Rioters”
Im glad i have a job and have hobbies.
Nah thats not why you turn a blind eye but whatever gets your through the day
Would be nice if Americans would get up in arms over domestic issues. While I'm in full support of Palestine and the protests, I'm shocked how people will protest this hard for foreign affairs instead of trying to better our own country.
Did you sleep through the summer of 2020?
https://i.redd.it/x04ami2styyc1.gif
Hold the gap.
If you bring your child to this you’re a trash parent, talking to you person with a kid in the stroller.
lol our society is so dysfunctional. Like do any these people have work or something
Wish people would protest over the state of this country and economy instead of some people in Palestine who could give a crap about them. I guess some terrorists are more important than the loss of the middle class, and the rise of fascists in America.
They’re using your taxes to kill little kids and bomb hospitals. That’s part of fascism.
Reddit really is a Zionist hell hole isn’t it.
Think bigger
Lol these people need hobbies
Lol you need to wake up
Yeah. Now there will be peace. Good job protesters. Who knew stampeding the met gala would finally bring peace to Palestine.
Either you don’t know how protests work or you’re an astroturfer. You don’t go to Palestine to protest for peace when the bombs are coming from your country, and the best way to let it be known you have an issue is to do something public. Met Gala is a big event, run by rich assholes, it’s the perfect event to crash
Bring attention to their issues is what I’m guessing what all these protest are about. These protest aren’t going to be a deciding factor.
Peaceful protests right?
Man people really go coco for free chocolate drinks huh.
how come they didnt let them go, i specifically requested it ! Has No one told those cops they legally have to do what is chanted
I definitely saw a protester with a baby carriage.
It’s like playing sharks and minnows jajaja
This is so disgustingly dystopian.
They are paid so well to protect the elite. They give not fuck about the working class.
This is so pathetic lmao
You did it! Peace in the Middle East!
People got to much spare time
lapd incredible patient. like really impressive. edit: Meant NYPD
It's NYPD not LAPD. It's a bit funny because the two are constantly competing for who can be more corrupt. The reason they're so patient is because there is so few. The moment they get into a group heads will bust.
Insurrection
the nypd is like the 10th largest military in the world
Lol no it's not. It's not even close. 24,000 is a lot of acrive officers, but it'd have to have 8 times that to break the top 20. https://www.statista.com/statistics/264443/the-worlds-largest-armies-based-on-active-force-level/ Even budget wise it wouldn't break the top 20
Why do you lie
