The Children’s March for Gaza in Bay Ridge Today
There were a lot of police officers on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge for the Children’s March this afternoon. Children and their families chanted as they walked through the streets.
The march stopped at Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis’ office. Click on the picture below to see the video – they left children’s shoes and toys outside of her office.
I’m not sure why the march only stopped at Malliotakis’ office – why didn’t they stop at other leader’s offices in Bay Ridge?
We haven’t heard any politician from Bay Ridge call to have the people in the Gaza escorted out of the area, even when this many people have been killed:
Whatever way you feel about what’s going on, someone has to have the common sense to say ENOUGH.
One reporter on Twitter noted that there were a lot of SRG officers and drones being used to monitor the march. (See here) He seemed to think it wasn’t necessary because it was a peaceful march. Maybe he isn’t aware of the outburst that happened at the end of a protest a few months ago in Bay Ridge.
At the end of today’s march, the people prayed before they left.
