Knicks fans just stormed Five Guys and started throwing chairs at the restaurant workers after the game. Actual employees doing their jobs.
This is NYC in 2026. Completely out of control.

Where is the leadership? Service workers can’t even clock in without chaos. Fix your city.
The three black jurors who were struck from Karmelo Anthony's jury were teachers and coaches and, to their credit, acknowledged that they couldn't be fair and impartial.
They were struck for cause, not peremptary challenges.
A Batson challenge on appeal will fail.
The first quarter of the Knicks vs. Spurs game was one of the most rigged things we've ever seen.
There were FIVE missed calls in favor of the Spurs and Wemby.
1) A clear foul on Wemby was reversed to give KAT his second foul of the game.

Let’s just be clear about what the mayor is doing here.
In light of the chaos and violence that took place during the last ‘watch party’, including destruction of property, riot, and gang assault, MSG has prudently chosen to cancel the event.
And instead of condemning the violence and acknowledging that public safety must come before a basketball game, Zohran is instead calling out the owner of the team and inviting the rioters to take to the streets regardless, for a replay of the horrifying scenes we all saw last time.
This is an incredibly reckless act by a child mayor who doesn’t care about public safety at all. He has repeatedly enabled and excused the ‘takeover’ riots that ordinary New Yorkers are sick of, and this is yet another example.
Whatever chaos happens tonight is now squarely at the feet of the mayor, and I hope he is made to bear the legal penalties for it as well.
NEW: Democrat Rep. Summer Lee says black Americans will stop voting if they start thinking they will never be paid reparations for slavery.
"We fight for reparations because it’s owed us. It is owed us," Lee said.
"If you believe that you're never gonna get reparations from the system, then you tap out. And you don't just tap out of the conversation, you tap out of the system. You don't wanna vote anymore."
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made this point, but please take this as a WARNING, and not merely an observation: Anti-social behavior—think about the guy blasting music from a speaker, talking loudly on speaker-phone, smoking inside the subway car, etc.—in public spaces is often engaged in ***_as a dare_***. The whole point is to provoke anger and annoyance in those around him, which serves two purposes, depending on the response he’s hoping for:
(1) If everyone bites their tongues, the antisocial asshole gets to tell himself he’s such a badass no one would dare speak up; or
(2) If someone confronts him, he finds his excuse to scratch a violent itch.
Understand that saying something to these people will often come with a real risk of violent confrontation.
@ModestyQueen19 You’re sick, excusing murder like Karmelo minorly inconvenienced everyone and the world is making a mountain out of a molehill due to his race.
When someone says “the facts become secondary” and it’s all about race, when irrefutable evidence show that someone accused of cold-blooded murder committed that cold- blooded murder, you know the person speaking is the racist.
The Karmelo Anthony verdict shows that the justice system has reverted back to the Jim Crow South era.
It is no longer about evidence.
It is no longer about right or wrong.
It is about keeping racial score through the prosecution and imprisonment of Black people.
It was no surprise that an all white jury would find a 19 year old kid, who was bullied and harassed by two 6’1” bullies, guilty of murder while he was minding his business.
We have seen this story before.
A young Black man is put on trial, and somehow the burden shifts from what happened to him, to why he should not have defended himself.
The facts become secondary.
The optics become everything.
The outcome feels predetermined long before the verdict is read.
People will tell you not to make it about race.
But race has always been part of the story in America.
The hard truth is that many Black people no longer believe they will receive the benefit of the doubt when their freedom is on the line.
And verdicts like this are exactly why.
At some point, we have to stop pretending that everyone is playing by the same set of rules.
Because the people watching this case saw something very different than what that jury claimed to see.
She did not "get caught". She turned herself into authorities. Her dog's mail in ballot was successfully counted in the statewide election to recall Gov. Newsom in 2021, but it was rejected in the 2022 federal primary election. Proof of ID or residence is not required in CA elections. But proof of residence & registration is required for first time voters in a *federal* election. Only the dog's ballot in the *federal* election was rejected. The dog's mail in ballot was accepted for the CA state election!
Spencer Pratt in February: “I have a good relationship with the IRS criminal investigation team. First week, I’m bringing them in. Here’s all the books. Open this up. Let’s see all the corruption.”
This is why they could never let him win.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, a 'Knicks watch party' in Manhattan turned into a pretty typical 'takeover' riot, complete with violent gang assault and brawls with the police.
Tomorrow, Mamdani will say with a smirk that all he saw was a bunch of kids having fun and it got a little out of hand, understandably because passion for the Kicks is running so high. Or something equally idiotic.
It's rapidly getting to the point that we simply cannot have outdoor events in NYC anymore without the typical 'takeover' enthusiasts turning it into a violent riot.
And the mayor excuses it every single time.
It is ABSOLUTELY amazing that they tried to end Hegseth’s nomination over an overtly and socially acceptable Christian tattoo by calling it Nazi symbolism but actively pretend that an actual Nazi tattoo is nbd.
*Amazing but not surprising.
