New York City artist and activist Scott LoBaido was arrested Wednesday after tossing slices of pizza over the fence surrounding the Big Apple’s Manhattan City Hall building.
LoBaido was protesting the city’s recently approved plan by Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ Department of Environmental Protection to crack down on pizzerias and bakeries that use wood and coal-fired ovens.
These ovens allegedly create “smoky pollutants” the department views as dangerous for New Yorkers.
A crowd of supporters gathered around the activist as he grabbed a couple of slices of pizza, said, “Here we go pigeons,” and threw the food over the gate.
Several police officers immediately swarmed LoBaido and handcuffed him while the crowd shouted at them in anger.
“This is a fine!” a man filming the scene shouted in video footage, claiming throwing pizza on the ground is “not an arrestable offense.”
Another bystander said, “Illegals are coming in and murdering people and he’s getting arrested for throwing pizza.”
Alternative angle:
LoBaido protested the ridiculous NYC proposal when it was first introduced in June of 2023, tossing pizza over the City Hall gate and screaming, “You heard about the Boston Tea Party? Well, this is the New York Pizza Party. Give us pizza or give us death! New York City is nothing without pizza!”
During that incident, LoBaido was confronted by cops but not arrested and was instead given a summons.
Waging a war on New York City’s staple food item is a surefire way to turn apolitical locals into anti-Democrat activists, but the moronic bureaucrats running the city into the ground don’t seem to care.
