NYC Mayor Lets Rage Run Amok, Leads Crackdown on Peaceful Religious Group

NYC Mayor Lets Rage Run Amok, Leads Crack Down on Peaceful Religious Group

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio seems content to let rage run amok in the wake of the death of George Floyd, yet leads a crackdown on Orthodox Jews, a peaceful religious group. Are the voters of NYC still happy with a mayor who looks the other way as a 92-year-old woman gets punched in the head and knocked to the ground?

UPDATE: Since this was recorded, the NYPD now says the “poisoning” of three officers — reported by two police unions — came from no criminal intent, but may have resulted from improper cleaning procedures that failed to fully rinse the shake machine.

My wife and daughter used to like to go to those frozen yogurt places. The last time we went into one, the whole place smelled like bleach to me. It made me quite nauseated just to be in there. The young lady behind the counter explained that they had recently cleaned several machines. We left and I have never been to one again.
I don’t have Burton Guster level super-smeller, but some odors do penetrate better than others. This is one and all places that have that type machine smell that way to me now.
As with many items, stupidity or incompetence is usually a better explanation than malice. Especially if they ordered through an APP. Likely with the current environment, they suspected malice and that is why they sought treatment.

Giuliani and his police chiefs had common sense they understood two things , criminals commit crimes all the time every day so 15,000 muggings does not mean 15,000 muggers , more likely each mugger you arrest equals 300 or more muggings stopped. Also those people certainly don’t obey little rules, so they enforced the rules against jumping turnstiles (getting on trains for free) and found that in a large number of cases the jumper was also wanted on several warrants for more serious crimes, so more hundreds of crimes stopped, leading to the Fox Butterfield classic ‘ if there’s less crime, why are so many people in jail?’

The good news, such as it might be, according to this NY Post article, is that the cops ordered the shakes via app, so there would be no possible anti-cop targeting and the shakes were sealed and ready for pickup when they got there, so no chance something was added. That should mean that the “machine cleaner” story to explain the bad taste is more likely accurate.
The NY Post story also partially documents the responses of various police officials and how the statements changed, implying a “game of telephone” effect to what was reported. There might be some malfeasance on the part of a police union rep or two or it might be honest overblowing of the story.

Gentlemen, Thank you for thanking the voters of New York for causing their current predicament. They did it their way! I heart NY; NOT! They made their bed, er ditch; let ‘em sleep in it!

Bill’s example of New York City’s turn around is the template for fixing all of these blue cesspools. Too bad that is no longer in the cards.
The problem with the protesters (and the rioters) is they have no plan. It is all utopian socialist entitlement ideology with unicorns and fairy dust.They should not be taken seriously because they have nothing serious to offer.
When they are pushed for a concrete idea, they come up with recommendations guaranteed to produce results diametrically opposed to what most of them claim to want. The only thing they all agree upon is the “revolution,” after which their gigantic woke brains, intentions and massive experience/track records will combine to figure it all out from scratch after they have brought all that is or has been to ashes.
Scott, CHOP is their “ideas.” No police, no fire protection, no justice, no sanitation, no accountability; just a “summer of love.” They’ve got nothing. They only act out because the progressives enable them.

Regarding the bleach in the policemen’s milkshakes, my question is: Did anyone else get sick from milkshakes during that same time frame? If the answer is no, then it was intentionally and someone deserves to be in jail. The Shake Shack where it occurred should be shut down until they produce the guilty party for charges, trial and punishment. For myself, I simply don’t believe it wasn’t intentional. For all three of the officers to require a trip to the hospital, it had to be more than the shake machine being improperly rinsed. I use logic and common sense in reasoning out the outrageous stories we see and hear on a daily basis.

Wrong guys.

  1. There is plenty of inexpensive property in NYC. Much of it is owned by landlords whose profit margins are being destroyed by rent control and associated regulations.
  2. Many of the truly wealthy NY’ers are protected (for the moment) from the deterioration of NYC. And they have to appear to be supportive of the current politically “woke” program.
  3. There are plenty of poor people in NYC and they vote. Arguably they profit from governmental programs that transfer money to them from others. They have a superficially rational interest in supporting DeBlasio and his ilk. They forget that they suffer most when riot and mayhem rule, and other people’s money runs out. But that’s for later.
  4. There are a lot of middle class people who actually believe in a lot of the crap that the Progressives are peddling. They have an actual innate inability to vote their interest. It is true and scary; many of them are my people- white, liberal, middle class Jews who would sooner die than vote for a Republican. They are immune to reason and reality.
  5. Opposing the forces of darkness is difficult, even physically dangerous. Better to stay at home, binge on Netflix, and hope that this blows over.

History and the Gods of the Copybook Headings say otherwise but that is merely seen as theoretical.

It has been approximately 40 years since I was in New York City. Now, I don’t even want to go to New York State. New York State could sink into the ocean and I wouldn’t shed a tear – Ditto the west coast states. There is nothing there I am willing to tolerate even a little bit. I am quite happy to leave them to their justly earned demise.

Yes. I moved from L.A. in 1998 after being born and raised there. My three children were approaching their teens, and I did not want them around all the gangs and crime, so we moved to Western North Carolina. We love it here and I am so glad we got out. The main thing I miss is the weather, but even after being a surfer around Huntington Beach, Redondo and such, I could not justify keeping my family here, and so we left. A small sacrifice to evade the cost, gangs, long commutes, constant sirens and hovering police helicopters at night. In fact, the night before we left we had swat teams on our street, copters lighting up our back yard, and police running through our yard pursuing someone, as they jumped over our side fence and then over our back retaining wall. Any small doubts about leaving were absolved that night. As a child, I remember playing in the few remaining citrus groves that surrounded our house, and visiting the local dairies. There were still strawberry fields and such close by before they were all turned into subdivisions. This was only about 25 to 30 miles from downtown. What are we doing to ourselves?
