Jon Stewart to People Complaining about Protests in Cleveland, Ferguson and NYC: Shut Up

Jon Stewart has a message for anyone complaining about protestors.

The grand jury decisions in Ferguson, Mo. and Staten Island, and the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland, Oh. have resulted in protests around the country. Thousands have flooded the streets of Manhattan and Ferguson and other cities, blocking traffic and chanting "Hands Up, Don't Shoot," while the sports world has taken to supporting the fight for justice with "I Can't Breathe" t-shirts. 

Obviously there has to be a faction that has a problem with the protests, though. And last night, The Daily Show went in on those complaining about how protestors are blocking traffic and how they don't even know what they're talking about. Needless to say, the Fox News pundits and cop supporters don't come out of this looking too good.

And at the very least, Jon Stewart is spot-on about the soul-crushing nonsense that is the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
