At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.

A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.

Eh, they disrupted a private business. They were absolutely trespassing. They knew they were trespassing. Forcing an arrest here is part of the civil disobedience and creating this headline.

I prefer the term managed democracy.

Ah yes, managed democracy! Every citizen of Super America enjoys the freedom to make the right choice.
