As Twitchy reported earlier today, a mob of protesters in New York City again invaded the flagship Macy’s store in Manhattan on Sunday to disrupt commerce and stage yet another #BlackLivesMatter “die-in.” The New York protests have been among the most high profile of demonstrations that have taken place across the country, but Sunday also saw marchers take to the sidewalks of Anchorage, Alaska.

The concept of an NAACP-led rally in Alaska was difficult to grasp for this LA Times reporter.
