    Good to see the buffering around places of worship going into effect.

    Explainer for those that don't know

    MSG is called the Mecca of basketball and recently there was a law passed in NYC to protect zionists places of worship from protestors.

    “No one will be allowed inside the secure area unless you have a ticket to the game, a train ticket, are going to a business inside the area, have credentials, or have some other authorized reason to be there,” according to NYPD.

    “…or have some other authorized reason”. The pigs will love this. They get to hassle or fuck with everybody the don’t like. And - of course - also let in any chud who says “My authorized reason is that I love Trump and I want him to be president forever.”

    Certain items won’t be permitted into the zone, including backpacks, bags and alcohol. There will be exceptions for Penn Station travelers with backpacks and luggage.

    So a the-doohickey is fine?

      A buddy of mine was trying to get to Penn for his commute home and they still turned him away and had him take a detour.

    I’ve seen a lot of people being very mad about this, but I honestly think this rocks for specific reasons:

    if they now lose game 3, knicks fans are going to believe he cursed them and given their rabid nature, knicks fans are the most likely to successfully assassinate him
    like, he won’t get out of NYC alive if they lose. a sidetalk crowd will literally be seen eating the flesh of an american president on tiktok
