Video: Protesters Attempt to Shutdown NBA Game Attended by Prince William and Duchess Kate

Hundreds of protestors, chanting phrases like "I can't breathe," gathered outside the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn earlier tonight in an attempt to shutdown an NBA game in which the Nets were taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Prince William and Duchess Kate were scheduled to attend the game.

Approximately 50 seconds.

LeBron is not impressed.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Dump some tea into the harbor if you really want to get the crown's goat.

[Paul.]

Are they hoping for a royal to intervene in the American political system? You know what happened that last time that happened?

[UnCivilServant]

Oil prices changed?

[Winston]

What does this have to do with Garner?

[John C. Randolph]

Nothing at all. These kids are after attention, not justice.

You'd think it would occur to one of the organizers that the lack of linkage to the victim would sort of trivialize the effort.

[Eric Bana]

Ahem. Apparently you are unaware of the race of many NBA basketball players.

[juris imprudent]

Eh, you mean like Charles Barkley?

[Sevo]

So you're claiming that because some NBA players are black, *THAT'S* the linkage?!
Why, I'll bet there are blue-eyed players also!

[LarryA]

It does make as much sense as burning down a black woman's pastry shop.

zero = zero

[Suddenly Quincy]

Prince William and Duchess Kate were scheduled to attend the game.

"They are one of those hippity-hop duos, right?"

*Relatives lean in and whisper*

"Get off my lawn." Looks around for musket.

[Sevo]

Bunker Hill's over there to the east.

[Suddenly Quincy]

This happened in Maine.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

The thing is that what happened to Eric Garner was wrong, but many of these protesters are pissing all over a good cause with their behavior.

[Suthenboy]

That is really surprising too given the thoughtfulness, unselfishness, and intellectual nature of the average sign waving, street protester type.

[Winston]

Reducing your cause to "the End of the World is Nigh!" sandwich board homeless guy level is pretty bad.

[Jayburd]

They shoulda sold single cigs in the parking lot.

[UnCivilServant]

And risk a beatdown from the NYPD?

These people are cowards who want to look courageous.

[UnCivilServant]

*Yes, I know they're out of the NYPD jurisdiction.

[Pro Libertate]

I had no idea that opposition to the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha usurpers was so intense in the United States.
