Lay off (September 26, 2016: New York Daily News)

Manhattan: I was shocked to see a snaggly group of four or five animal-rights protestors terrorizing tourists and carriage drivers last week. One of them yelled like a crazy lady as she chased a carriage filled by a family with two young children. I saw another group of carriage riders holding hands and praying as they were subjected to an onslaught of vicious hate-filled yelling and video recording while the group surrounding their carriage. In yet another instance, I observed a crazed-looking protester belly to belly with a driver, yelling and cursing at the driver. I myself was victimized when a group of them saw me recording them and quickly rushed and surrounded me, trying to intimidate me. Why is Mayor de Blasio allowing this to continue? More importantly, where is the NYPD? The First Amendment is not a license to harass those who don’t agree with you. Craig Sheldon
