#ImpuntyCity breaking news
Good trouble comes to city hall
@TransAlt fake protest for bike lanes on McGuiness Blvd. gets bum rushed by @NYCDriversunite leader Raul Rivera.
@TransAlt "partner" "open street" organizer Kevin Lacherra is hosting this latest mockery of protesting. Standing beside hilawakers @LincolnRestler @Gonzalez4NY @julia_carmel and @BKBPReynoso to give this farce legitimacy and heavy scientologist cult vibes
While scoping and quietly narrating, this guy tells me to stop talking to myself and then ignores me when i confront him.
I also notice a city worker who I saw lobbying for ebikes/scooters with @nycpa @NYC_DOT is also protesting.
Your tax dollars literally working here. https://t.co/Yi8Socu4qOtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The first agency captured shill to speak is @TransAlt number one puppet Linky Restler. Spewing feigned outrage waving a dubious poll and grossly embellishing/lying about the amount of crashes on McGuiness he's been told to report.
Crashes that include pylons getting crushed https://t.co/PlCaqC1Scetwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here comes the fun part
@BKBPReynoso barely had a minute to bullshit when @NYCDriversunite disrupted fake protest. Rivera confronts BP until Kevin and that goon who hassled me and TA CEO Danny Harris starts pushing him around trying to repress his speech as the loons all chant https://t.co/LJ3kooUUUftwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
As Rivera drops facts,electeds and sign holding lobbyists clam up. Exc one geek astroturfer shouting at Rivera to get out and calling him a crank with @PurpleClarence
Rivera tells press about @TransAlt regulatory capture of @NYC_DOT @NYCMayorsOffice
You can see their fear. https://t.co/JXMGCiEN3wtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@BKBPReynoso publicly maligns a constituent by claiming he has no supporters. Then one man show Rivera shouts his ass down calling him a con and cosplay protesters clowns and informing the public how rich @DannyHarris_TA is.
Rivera calls Williams a phony @nycpa. https://t.co/i3aZYH3b6ntwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
As Rivera feeds Reynoso his lunch, @TransAlt stooges get touchy and try to oppress his freedom of speech. White shirt ignores me and bucket hat guy backs off when I confront him.
TA thought they can turn a public space into a public realm where only their voices are allowed. https://t.co/Lveqwtu3xytwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@nycpa asks for a "mic check" for bike lanes
This is an insulting mockery of the Occupy Wall St. Protests 14 years ago about the bank bailouts and wealth concentration at the top
Ironic being that 99% of New Yorkers collectively despise @Transalt or don't know who they are
After Williams speech I see another man hassle @NYCDriversunite with bucket hat astroturfer. I ask him if he's a cop and nervously wisecracks. Rivera said he was from TransAlt too.
This is the behavior and tactics of brown shirts and cliquish bratty teenagers
Or hedge fund bros https://t.co/BV9TAXYBsztwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Fake socialist @Gonzalez4NY comes on and an @Openplans snarky lady tells me "people died" on McGuinness. And said it with this expression on her face. I told her people died where I'm from too. I wonder if she's a lobbyist
They really don't care

When fake socialist Sen. Salazar went up @GershKuntzman tells me to quiet down
The atmosphere at the moment and the ridiculousness of this charade performance protest made it hard to. And the fact that these people really are destroying NYC
Rivera got Linky running to his aide https://t.co/wYaIVNTm1wtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@DannyHarris_TA admonishes @NYCMayor after 3 years of TA Lobbyists access to city Hall, regulatory capturing @NYC_DOT and hired one of them as a public realm chief.
@GershKuntzman tells me to be quiet when I narrate these facts. Sorry Gersh, but this ends today
@NydiaVelazquez blatantly lies how protected bike lanes make streets safer but like everyone there ignores how lawless bikers, ebikers and unlicensed motor scooters have taken over these lanes
He reveals he drives a car and how the Blvd works good for other drivers. Like him.
At the endI was approached by @PIX11News @gregmocker and right when I was talking to him, the white shirt stooge interrupted and Greg stopped talking to me.
Turns out @EmilyAssembly chief of staff and Lecherras pal Andrew Epstein. he kept calling me a weirdo to discredit me
While departing, @TransAlt lobbyist and 34th Ave open street defacto CEO Juan Restrepo tapped me and called me by my name. I later confronted him and asked him how's that e-micromobility thing going and show him a picture of the Madison St. ebike shop fire that killed 4 people...
@TransAlt I noticed his new ebike and said "nice motorcycle". He angrily responded it was an ebike and I corrected him by pointing at the big battery at the bottom of the frame and saying that's his engine and #EbikesAreMotorcycles. Then he walked away with @OpenPlans Clarence.
Fin
@TransAlt @OpenPlans I wish I had pics and footage of me and Juan little talk but I ran out of GB. I really need a cheap new phone with more room so a little donation might help. Besides, I am somebody now that elites are telling me to shut up

@TransAlt @OpenPlans One mo thing
Its hilarious how @Transalt got pissy when @NYCDriversunite
brought a bullhorn to their protest when months ago they were more louder and riotous when they disrupted an anti-congestion pricing protest
Some good trouble is better than others
Sorry nydia, your staffer said this but it's still a bunch of bullshit
