Mayor Eric Adams calls potential Thanksgiving parade protesters grinches, vows no tolerance

Mayor Eric Adams called potential Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade protesters “grinches” and vowed to stop any disruptions — a year after anti-Israel rabble-rousers glued their hands to the parade route. “I really want to take the moment to tell those grinches that believe they are going to disrupt the parade that it is not going to happen,” Adams said Wednesday night ahead of the iconic 98th annual parade. “Just like how we responded last year, we are going to be on top of those who attempt to interrupt the parade in any way possible.”Last year, anti-Israel demonstrators drenched themselves in fake blood and glued their hands to the middle of Sixth Avenue, grinding the parade to a halt. Moments earlier, the protesters — wearing white jumpsuits with the words “colonialism,” “ethnic cleansing” and “fascism” emblazoned on them  — unfurled a banner that read “Liberation for Palestine and planet” on the route.Some pretended to be dead while lying on the street while other protesters poured fake blood over their heads, sparking the parade spectators to jeer at them.They then glued themselves to the asphalt. Police eventually moved in and arrested dozens of the protesters. One of them screeched “I’m glued down, I can’t get up” before the NYPD took him into custody. During this year’s festivities, which will secured by scores of cops, Hizzoner warned that the city will have “no tolerance for interfering at all.”NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters there were “no credible or specific threats” made against Thursday’s holiday parade. ...
