Mayor Eric Adams calls Thanksgiving parade protesters ‘Grinches’, vows ‘no tolerance’ for disruptions

Mayor Eric Adams called potential protesters at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade “smilers” and vowed to prevent any disruptions — a year after anti-Israel rioters stick your hands on the parade route,

“I really want to take a moment to tell those smiles who believe they’re going to disrupt the parade, that’s not going to happen,” Adams said Wednesday night. The prestigious 98th annual parade.

“Just as we responded last year, we are going to be on top of those who attempt to disrupt the parade in any way.”

Last year, anti-Israel protesters doused themselves in fake blood and stuck their hands in the middle of Sixth Avenue, bringing the parade to a halt.

Moments earlier, protesters – wearing white jumpsuits emblazoned with the words “colonialism,” “ethnic cleansing” and “fascism” – unfurled a banner over the route that read “Liberation for Palestine and the Planet.”

Some people pretended to be dead by lying on the road, while other protesters poured fake blood on their heads, prompting mockery from parade watchers.

After this he stuck himself to the asphalt.

Police eventually moved in and arrested dozens of protesters.

One of them shouted, “I’m pinned, I can’t get up” before the NYPD took him into custody.

During this year’s festivities, which will be guarded by large numbers of police, Hizzoner warned that “interference will not be tolerated at all” in the city.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters that “no credible or specific threats” have been made against Thursday’s holiday parade.
