Peaceful but 'super passionate' mob shuts down 5th Ave. Apple Store, invades Macy's [Vine]

Ever since we saw this Twitchy post, it’s become impossible to look at photos of “die-ins” without checking to see how many of the dead are playing with their iPhones to pass the time. Things might have come full circle tonight, as a mob of Eric Garner protesters took over the Apple Store on New York’s 5th Ave. USA Today’s Yamiche Alcindor has a number of Vine posts of the protest, and described the demonstrators as “super passionate.”
