New Yorkers protest, defending Iran.

FOX News screen grab

A group of protesters rallied outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn apartment in the wake of the U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian general. (Can't think of a better place than outside Cluck's apartment. I guess they had to...couldn't get past DeBlasio Warren Wilhelm Jr's gated residence. - DD)

On Friday night, anti-war groups such as the ANSWER Coalition and Democratic Socialists of America met in front of the Senate minority leader’s Park Slope apartment on Prospect Park West to show their displeasure with the killing of Qassem Soleimani.

The protesters claim that the move ultimately amounts to President Trump sounding the drums of war, concerning them that the country may be facing another long war.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said the heightened security is necessary as the U.S. and Iran are now at a “de facto state of war.”

More rallies are planned across the tri-state and the country on Saturday and over the weekend, including one at Times Square that figures to be larger and louder than the one Friday night. The rallies are expected to address the surge of more than 3,000 troops to the Middle East.
Where were these protesters during the years of drone strikes ordered by Obama which killed so many innocent civilians? Oh - - - it didn't matter then. They were all too busy texting and searching Tinder for a date with their "free" Obama cell phones.
