Lord Cornwallis has arrived.
I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

#OTD in 1781, the French fleet defeated the British fleet in the Battle of the Chesapeake, leaving British troops under Lord Cornwallis in Virginia with no reinforcements or means of escape. A besieged Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown six weeks later.

Fun fact: both Generals Howe and Cornwallis in the Revolutionary War thought the war was a mistake and unwinnable.
Also Cornwallis’ wife was named Jemima.

I think Washington's feint at Staten Island in 1781 before almost dead-sprinting down to Yorktown while Henry Clinton doesn't figure out Washington is gone in Sept 2, by which point Washington was in Philadelphia and Cornwallis was probably already well-caught short of naval rescue.

Honestly, credit to England for pulling off a result in such oppressive conditions. The spirit of Lord Cornwallis can finally be at peace.

Historical FYI: Nathanael Greene was asthmatic, had a limp and a perpetually infected eye, and was constantly sick.
He was also, as Cornwallis wrote, "as dangerous as [George] Washington. He is vigilant, enterprising, and full of resources–there is but little hope of gaining an advantage over him."
