~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
To all of the stupid New York City left-wing voters and non-voters, you own the next sequel the City’s Commie Mayor Bill de Blasio’s nightmare who like the Progressives, correction REGRESSIVES in both House (including the Albany State Legislature) own the government shutdown, Commie Bill will own the ruin, corruption, despair and suffering of the poor that he has brought about courtesy of his fundamental transformation of the now Rancid Apple.
That bite that keeps hitting you in your checkbook has a name, i.e., KARMA…
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, née Warren Wilhelm, doubled down on his comments earlier this week exposing his communist credentials. During his State of the Union, he announced a number of ‘freebies’ he planned to give away like health care and vacations. But what really got attention was Wilhelm’s intention to seize buildings from landlords he and his minions decide are unfit.
DE BLASIO ESPOUSES HIS COMMUNIST IDEOLOGY
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, the Progressive/Communist Democrat stood by his comments during the “State of the Union” in which he said:
“Here’s the truth, brothers, and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city,” de Blasio said in his sixth State of the City speech. “It’s just in the wrong hands!”
Did you catch the ‘brothers and sisters’ thingy? It’s the second most popular appellation by communists outside of ‘comrades.’ Wilhelm believes he has the right to steal from those with the “wrong hands”
Tapper pointed out it was “pretty radical”, and the commie agreed, and told Tapper to “look at what’s happening in my city. Look what’s happening all over the country,” noting how “millions” can barely make ends meet and “people get less and less back”[…]
Bill de Blasio and his comrades are fleecing New Yorkers down to the last speck of lint in their pockets. It doesn’t matter if you work or not, there’s a tax for everyone. No one is safe from these larcenous thugs.
ICYMI, here are more news worth checking out from S. Noble over at Independent Sentinel.
You just can’t make this stuff up and while I’m on the subject, let this be a lesson, better yet a wakeup call, to my fellow New Yorkers.
Source: Facebook
On Thursday from 12 noon to 8 p.m., somewhere between 500 and 1,000 Yemeni-owned grocery stores will close their doors tomorrow in protest of what they claim is a Muslim ban. [Gee, I thought they were Iraqis, Iranians and Pakistanis which according to some people makes me a racist.]
On Thursday, February 2, Yemeni business owners across five New York boroughs will close 1,000 stores from 12pm to 8pm in response to the Trump administration’s infamous “Muslim Ban” executive order. This shutdown of grocery stores and bodegas will be a public show of the vital role these grocers and their families play in New York’s economic and social fabric and, during this period, grocery store owners will spend time with their families and loved ones to support each other; many of these families have been directly affected by the Ban.
Thursday evening at 5:15pm, at Brooklyn Borough Hall, 209 Joralemon St. in the back of the building facing the plaza, the Yemeni American community will hold a rally, where some merchants will share the impact the Ban has had on them and their loved one. The program will begin with the Muslim call for prayer and a public sundown prayer by Muslim rally participants. The prayer will be followed by several Yemeni merchants and their families sharing personal stories of how their lives and families have been impacted by the ban, as well as stories read on behalf of families who are afraid to come forward.
Communism, Stealth Jihad and Politics.
“The program will begin with the Muslim call for prayer and a public sundown prayer by Muslim rally participants.”
Note that there are two huge mosques less than three blocks away from Borough Hall, downtown Brooklyn where this Muslim rally will take place. The mosques opposite each other are located on Atlantic Avenue and one in particular should be of interest to Americans.
The mosque is connected to the September 11th Islamic terrorists’ attacks. See my post, Bad Call Eric Holder Banning Religious Profiling from Counterterrorism: What about the Jihad in Brooklyn? posted at my affiliate website, Viewpoints. See the section of the post entitled, Dueling Mosques, Another Culture Clash in the Making?
This area of downtown Brooklyn is less than one block away from Brooklyn Law School, opposite several court buildings, in the middle of a commercial area and two blocks from the Brooklyn Bridge.
Traffic in Downtown Brooklyn is ALWAYS congested and backed up and tomorrow will be even worse. Hundreds, maybe thousands of Muslims answering the call to prayer at the height of rush hour at Borough Hall will be a nightmare for commuters trying to get home from work.
This is a political stunt and if New Yorkers had any sense would be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Everyone from Eric Adams, the Brooklyn Borough President to Bill de Blasio will be present.
Very few New Yorkers are aware of this shutdown but even if they were, so many are politically correct that they’d just go along with this action.
When a bodega is anything but.
The New Yorker in me just cannot let this go. A “bodega” is a Spanish owned grocery store. If said grocery store is owned by a Yemeni, Pakistani, Korean, Chinese, Black American, Jew, Italian, whomever then it is NOT A BODEGA.
As a native born New Yorker, I am fed up with non-New Yorkers and moving here and re-defining everything to fit their agenda in the same way that they and their fellow Progressives have co-opted MLK, Jr.’s legacy and that of the Civil Rights movement in pursuit of an endgame opposed by most Black Americans.
Moving on.
Wake up New York! While I have posed the following questions to my fellow New Yorkers,
“Are you concerned at all that Muslims own most of the supermarkets, grocery stores, pharmacies and liquor stores in New York City?”
“Are you concerned that Muslims very much like those who attacked us on September 11th have control over the food that you feed your children and grandchildren?”
“Do you realize that if Islamic terrorists were to wage an attack on the United States that it may not come in the form of shootings and firebombs but through the food, medicine and liquor that Americans ingest in a Jim Jones kind of way?”
I rarely receive more than a “uh-huh” to any of these questions followed up by the party I am addressing suddenly changing the subject.
Tomorrow’s strike isn’t really about an imaginary Muslim ban. These grocery stores and other businesses owned by Muslims shuttering their doors for eight hours to non-Muslims in New York City Thursday are sending a warning shot over the heads of non-Muslims throughout the City.
Wake up America! These people own businesses across the nation.
After having the lay of the land and the White House for the past eight years, donors and co-conspirators of jihadist organizations such as Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) are furious over President Donald Trump’s coming executive orders to temporarily ban entry of Muslims into the United States from jihadist hot spots.
The Clarion Project reports that the President will call for an indefinite ban of Syrian refugees from Syria and a “120-day ban on refugees from all other parts of the world. At the end of the ban, refugees from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen would be barred an additional 30 days.”
Understandable since the United States has no shortage of problems that should be dealt with first, including threats presiding on U. S. soil brought about by the previous administration’s doubling down of allowing refugees entry while at the same time refusing to vet those coming in. Thus, there are many on U. S. soil that should have never been permitted entry in the first place.
CAIR, fear mongering as usual is in full meltdown mode. Hassan Shibly, executive director of CAIR-Florida told CNN, “These executive orders will not make our nation any safer, rather it will make our nation more fearful and less welcoming, and such restrictions run contrary to (the) very founding principles of our nation…”
Below is an excerpt of the statement released yesterday by CAIR espousing the usual allegations of xenophobia and Islamophobia by Nihad Awad, CAIR’s National Executive Director:
“Make no mistake – whatever language is used in President Trump’s executive orders on refugees, immigration and visa programs – Muslims are the sole targets of these orders.
“These orders are a disturbing confirmation of Islamophobic and un-American policy proposals made during the presidential election campaign.
“Never before in our country’s history have we purposely – as a matter of policy – imposed a ban on immigrants or refugees on the basis of religion, or imposed a religious litmus test on those coming to this nation.
“Ideological and religious questioning imposed on our government agencies by Islamophobes – many of whom are now in policy-making positions – will not make us safer and will instead send a very negative message that Muslims are not welcome in America.
“One of our nation’s darkest moments was during World War II when we turned away Jewish refugees seeking our protection. We cannot allow religious bigotry to affect our willingness and ability to welcome those fleeing violence and persecution….
Awad’s mention of Jews is no accident since organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the National Council of Churches, all of whom stand with CAIR and are financially dependent upon federal funding under Obama’s refugee program, funding of which is now at stake. [See: State Department Defies President Trump. further down in post.
CAIR’s NYC chapter put together last night an emergency protest of the same suspects that have protested throughout the Obama administration (stealth jihad), as late as last Saturday at the women’s march in Washington DC or at other locations around the nation. There was no shortage of fear mongering as could be heard from the crowd, one woman shouting, “I’m a Muslim, I’m a woman, I’m a Palestinian immigrant, and the idea of living through four years, or possibly eight years of this, is terrifying.”
New York City Communist bureaucrats were also present last night in Washington Square Park from NYC’s Comptroller, Scott Stringer to the thugs in the corrupt New York City Council.
Mind you, these are the same people whose support to ban horse carriages from Central Park changes depending on which way the wind blows and who voted themselves a 32% salary increase one year ago.
If Stringer were to do his job, he’d investigate every council member for fraud and abuse but then who would investigate Stringer? The man is a wuss.
Sumaya Awad, 22, handed out fliers for the International Socialist Organization. Awad, a Muslim Palestinian immigrant, said she understands the importance of standing with her fellow Muslims.
“Trump has attacked basically every part of my identity,” Awad told HuffPost. “I’m a Muslim, I’m a woman, I’m a Palestinian immigrant, and the idea of living through four years, or possibly eight years of this, is terrifying.”
But there’s hope, she said.
“I’m used to having different forms of government and administrations try to silence me, so it’s great to see so many people out here fighting,” she said. “Hopefully this organized resistance continues on tomorrow, and the next week, and the week after….”
While the Huffington post reports that Sumaya Awad (who may or may not be related to Nihad Awad), a student at Columbia University handed out fliers for the International Socialist Organization, they failed to mention that Awad, a Palestinian immigrant is a member of the anti-Semitic organization, Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).
…Awad is a student at Williams College (Williams). She was a visiting student of Columbia University (Columbia), majoring in history and religion in the 2014-2015 academic year.
The Huffington Post (and I’m sure they’re not alone) gave a platform to the type of person that President Trump is trying to keep out of our country.
One day after the presidential election, Hussam Ayloush, CAIR’s Los Angeles Leader tweeted out a statement in Arabic calling for the overthrow of the U.S. Government.
Ok, repeat after me:
Al-Shaab yureed isqat al-nizaam.
(Arab Spring chant)
The second line “Al-Shaab yureed isqat al-nizaam” in Arabic is (الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام), literally translated, it means “The people want to overthrow the regime.”
It was a slogan first used during the Tunisian revolution, which kicked off the Arab Spring, where dozens of totalitarian Islamic nations were either toppled or faced serious street demonstrations. It was also the slogan during the overthrow of Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.
Ayloush is not just a nominal figure in Leftist circles. In 2012, he was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention and has attended at least two White House meetings, Daniel Pipes is reporting[…]
After being called out the tweet, Ayloush backtracked sort of claiming that his statement was “some sort of an inside joke that only Muslims could get.”
State Department Defies President Trump.
In the meantime, traitors at the State Department in defiance of President Trump are pushing through as many Syrian Refugees as they can before the president signs the executive orders.
State Department Officials are actively trying to get as many refugees as they possibly can before Donald Trump’s executive order suspending Syrian refugee resettlement goes into effect Thursday.
The government bureaucrats are working with volunteer resettlement agencies to test the new President’s resolve on his executive order.
These non-profits include Catholic Charities, the Committee For Refugees and Immigrants and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. They’re paid more than $1 billion annually to manage the resettlement of refugees from Syria and elsewhere….
In just the two days since the announcement of the coming executive order, the State Department has admitted a total of 1,087 refugees, bringing the fiscal year total to 31,521….
Obviously, these plans and actions were set into motion before Barack Obama departed the White House and is rationalized by the Progressives attempt to de-legitimize President Trump.
State Department Senior Team has resigned en masse. Of course, the Trump administration planned on replacing them anyway and finally (because I need a break), Hollywood elites, Communist politicians and others in opposition to President Trump’s ban are threatening to sign up as Muslims. Stealth jihad is a success and those signing up are assholes.
That worn out feminist hag, former Secretary of State and globalist, Madeleine Albright tweeted earlier:
I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish. I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity.
The usual Marxist jackasses are leading the call to register as Muslim with Moveon.org creating a online petition. The intent is to de-ligitimize President Trump’s agenda while pushing the illusion that the executive order will go up in smoke.
During the past six weeks, there have been numerous reports of “fake” anti-Muslim attacks alleged to have been committed by supporters of president-elect, Donald Trump, all of which were investigated and found out to be a hoax.
One of several false police reports filed came from a black female student at Villanova University who reported that she was knocked to the ground when walking through the SEPTA tunnel between the university’s West Campus and Main Campus by three Caucasian males yelling “Trump! Trump! Trump!”
Villanova campus police were left with no alternative but drop the investigation after the student decided against pursing the matter and refused to cooperate in the investigation.
One of the latest fake anti-Muslim attacks to be debunked was the report by a University of Michigan student who a few weeks back reported that a man approached her and threatened to burn the student “if she didn’t remove her hijab. The victim described the suspect to police as a white man with bad body odor and slurred speech, as if he may have been drunk.”
Surveillance videos of the street on which the incident was alleged to have occurred not only failed to provide evidence of the man described by the student, it also show no evidence that the student making the allegations was on that street on the day where the incident was alleged to have occurred. Law enforcement findings is that the incident is a hoax!
The piece de resistance is Yasmin Seweid, an 18 year old New York Muslim woman who reported that three drunk men on a New York City subway attacked her calling the teen a “terrorist.”
Besides shouts of “Trump! Trump! Trump!” the inebriated trio of white men, one of whom Yasmin claims screamed at her, “You f–king terrorist! Get out of this country — you don’t belong here!” The woman also reported that they tried to remove her head covering.
Straphangers stood by and watched as three drunk white men repeatedly screamed ‘Donald Trump!’ and hurled anti-Islam slurs Thursday at a Muslim Baruch College student before trying to rip her hijab off of her head on an East Side subway, the woman told the Daily News.
Yasmin Seweid said she was stunned by the assault — and the fact that no one in the subway car came to her aid.
‘It made me really sad after when I thought about it,’ she said. ‘People were looking at me and looking at what was happening and no one said a thing. They just looked away….’
Oh, those cold-blooded New Yorkers, how could they not come to the aid of an individual who belongs to a group that considers itself self-entitled.
The alleged incident occurred days after swastikas and other “derogatory messages” defaced a NYC train and public areas throughout the city. (For the record, (a) derogatory messages on display are nothing new on NYC’s transit system or other properties and (b) the majority of dip wads defacing subway trains and other properties across the City are not white. Just being honest.)
Yasmin’s allegations did not pass muster at home because within days of the alleged incident, she turned up missing after her parents shaved her head during an argument over a boy.
Yasmin was found three days after running away at a friend’s house, although her father claimed that his daughter was at a family member’s home, “Asked whether his daughter went missing out of fear of Trump supporters, Sayeed Seweid said, ‘I don’t think this has anything to do with Trump. This is a family issue. Asked if Yasmin Seweid was ever in danger, he shook his head and replied, ‘No, no,’ before driving away.…’”
So why then in the same article would the New York Daily News report that surveillance footage shows a white man following the 18 year old off a subway train whose description matches the description provided by the young woman?
Fake news? Law enforcement reported that they were unable to find witnesses or “significant” video footage to corroborate Yasmin’s claims.
Cat out of the bag, Yasmin Seweid was arrested for filing a false report.
As it turns out, Yasmin who is dating a Christian concocted the December 1st incident after breaking curfew, drinking alcohol and hanging out with friends to avoid getting into trouble with her parents.
In turn, Seweid’s parents shaved her head as punishment and I assume to humiliate her further, the 18-year-old was forced to appear in court with a badly shaven head minus the hijab.
SIDEBAR
What no outrage from the media at the punishment meted out by the father, Sayeed Seweid? If Sayeed were not a Muslim, there would be cries of concern for the 18-year-old.
END OF SIDEBAR
Older brother, Abdoul Seweid’s older brother in 2012, was also charged with falsely reporting a similar incident. Abdoul claimed that a friend was assaulted by three males.
Of course, it does not end there. Always looking for a crisis where there is none, Yasmin’s sister, Sara Seweid in a post (now deleted) attacked NYPD’s investigation of the fake incident on her Facebook page.
“the NYPD should have never been involved in the first place even if the incident did happen. It became super clear to me these past two weeks that the police’s first instinct is to doubt your story and try to disprove it.”
The victim card – who to blame, NYPD, the media and why yes, Donald Trump.
… I had more than one cop tell me that they’ve looked through all our social media… and it doesn’t look good that we’ve been vocal about certain issues they perceive to be anti -trump, anti-white and even anti-men….
When will people learn. Although Sara deleted her Facebook post, her rant in its entirely lives on courtesy of screenshots and Twitter (see below).
Yasmin’s tall tale began to fall apart almost immediately after the family filed a report and NYPD began its investigation. The many “anti-trump, anti-white, and even anti-men” rants on the family’s social media pages raised further suspicions as to what may or may not have occurred. So how is it NYPD’s fault when they were merely doing their jobs?
Sara, rather than blaming the media, NYPD and the president-elect would do well to look within and at those around her; namely, her family if she so concerned about issues her sister, Yasmin is dealing with.
Clearly, the family, every one of them has issues with Americans, with Christians, with Donald Trump, with all things non-Muslim.
Who is pushing the meme to these young women, all of whom are filing false reports of attacks by “inebriated white men?” CAIR? MSA? There is definitely a pattern here.
As for Yasmin Seweid, Muslim organizations will circle around her and her family to shield them from the infidel.
Enter Muslim jackass of the year, Adam Saleh who claimed that he and a friend was kicked off a Delta Airlines flight for speaking Arabic.
The video comes from the Twitter account of Adam Saleh, a well-known YouTube personality and vlogger from Brooklyn, New York, who urged his followers to “please spread” the video in which other passengers can be clearly seen waving goodbye to the two men while they were being removed by Delta staff from the flight. “I can not believe my eyes. I can not believe it,” says Saleh in the video. “I spoke a word — a different language — and you feel uncomfortable?” he can be seen saying to his fellow passengers….
We got kicked out of a @Delta airplane because I spoke Arabic to my mom on the phone and with my friend slim… WTFFFFFFFF please spread pic.twitter.com/P5dQCE0qos
Political correctness breeds sons of pigs like this guy. As to whether Saleh is a threat, I would not turn my back on him. By the way, why is Saleh still allowed to fly after his many antics?
Adam Saleh, 23, is a prankster who tweets and produces a vblog on YouTube. Some of his videos have been seen by hundreds of thousands of viewers. These are provocative to the point of disturbing, including one in which he wears a killer clown costume while terrorizing a little girl. If it’s not child-abuse it veers this close….
Delta issued the following statement this evening regarding Flight 1:
Upon landing the crew was debriefed and multiple passenger statements collected. Based on the information collected to date, it appears the customers who were removed sought to disrupt the cabin with provocative behavior, including shouting. This type of conduct is not welcome on any Delta flight. While one, according to media reports, is a known prankster who was video recorded and encouraged by his traveling companion, what is paramount to Delta is the safety and comfort of our passengers and employees. It is clear these individuals sought to violate that priority.
PREVIOUS STATEMENT (12:15 P.M.)
We take all allegations of discrimination seriously and we are gathering all of the facts before jumping to any conclusion. Our culture requires treating everyone with respect. Furthermore, Delta people are trained to and frequently handle conflicts between passengers.
Maintaining a safe, comfortable and orderly onboard environment is paramount for every flight and requires the cooperation of all of our customers in conjunction with adherence to directions from our crew members. This is a Delta policy and is required by U.S. regulations as well as others governing aviation worldwide.
Two customers were removed from Delta Flight 1 departing London-Heathrow today after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort.
We have spoken with the customers who were removed; they were rebooked on another flight. Plans are in place to immediately speak with our crew and other passengers when the flight lands this afternoon. We will provide an update once we have more information.
Good for Delta.
Saleh whose video within hours of posting it to social media generated #BoycottDelta which immediately began trending gets his jollies creating chaos and is apparently good at it. Say what you will but this schmuck is dangerous.
If Saleh were a looney Westerner pulling these pranks, he would have been grounded and possibly imprisoned long ago.
The Progressive propagandist machine is quick to hype these so-called biased attacks on Muslims, however, law enforcement’s findings and/or confessions by the accusers proving allegations false does not seem to garner that much interest because as expected, it does not fit the narrative.
Case in point, CNN’s Brian Stelter as blasted last evening by Tucker Carlson.
New Yorkers should be outraged, if only they were, paying attention as Alan Schulkin, Democratic Commissioner of the NYC Board of Elections breaks down the extent of voter fraud in New York City.
New York is run by a cesspool of bureaucrats on the state and local level who benefit from and are supportive of voter fraud, at the top of chain in Albany is Governor, Andrew Cuomo and on the local level Cuomo’s nemesis, Bill de Blasio.
In this new video released by Project Veritas, James O’Keefe exposes what everyone except Democrats have known to be true. There is a lot of voter fraud.
It’s that time of the year again when nearly a million revelers from across the globe converge upon Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, New York for the annual Labor Day parade, correction West Indian Day Parade and J’Ouvert Festival.
Recognized for its costumes, colors, food, revelry and display of Caribbean flags everywhere, West Indian Day Parade and J’Ouvert Festival is known for the bloodshed, violence and death that occurs, this year’s festivities being no different.
J’Ouvert “unofficially” begins around midnight even though many of the began weeks to days earlier and yes, it is an all-night celebration of dancers, people dressed up in costumes, some in masks and steel bands on trucks.
Combine that with alcohol, summer weather conditions, drugs, the ingestion of other toxic chemicals non-stop for the next 24 hours, sometimes longer and you have spontaneous combustion — VIOLENCE.
Hours before the sun would rise on this year’s J’Ouvert revelries, two young people would be dead and five others wounded.
Tiarah Shanice Poyau (Facebook).
Tiarah Poyau, a 22-year-old student, a St. John’s University grad student with a promising future lay dying on a Brooklyn sidewalk after daring to tell some inebriated thug who approached her from behind and began grinding his body against hers to “get off me.” The thug, Reginald Moise, according to witnesses pulled a gun on the 22-year-old killing her instantly.
Tyreke Borel (Facebook)
The other was 17-year-old male from Trinidad and Tobago, Tyreke Borel, a high school senior and aspiring car mechanic killed just hours after his mother warned him not to attend J’Ouvert.
The mother of 17-year-old Tyreke Borel said through tears Monday that she’d cautioned her son to stay home for J’Ouvert, but the teen had insisted on joining the revelry where he was shot and killed.
“He was just a lovely child who wanted to enjoy the Labor Day. I told him to be safe. But he’s 17. He didn’t want to stay home,” said Alima St. Clair at her Flatbush apartment….
Borel who arrived in New York four years ago was killed at 3:45 a.m. by a stray bullet to the chest at the corner of Empire Boulevard and Flatbush Avenue as he sat alone on a park bench taking a break from the revelry.
Poyau was killed 30 minutes later at 4:15 a.m. shot point blank in the right eye at Empire Boulevard and Franklin Avenue a little more than a block from where Borel was killed.
A 72-year-old woman was shot in the hand and arm, her wounds are not life threatening and a 23-year-old woman who was stabbed declined medical attention and before day’s end, there would be more shootings.
[Particularly, discomforting is the death of Tiarah Poyau who at first glance reminded me of a family member.]
Noted on Poyau (who interned at Price Waterhouse)’s LinkedIn page the following:
My greatest achievement was in Spring of 2014 when I studied abroad in Paris, Rome, and Seville. Apart from being able to get away for a while, I was given the opportunity to push my limits and be responsible for my personal growth and development journey.
Since, I have used all tools available to me to enhance my professional image. My ultimate goal is to be an accountant at a prestigious firm where I can constantly learn new things and pursue opportunities at firm locations around the world.
I am seeking an internship where I can get real-world experience with new technology, learn to communicate effectively with clients, and challenge my intellectual abilities. I am always interested in meeting new people, hearing success stories, and acquiring helpful bits of knowledge at every chance I get.
On her Facebook page is a photograph dating back to May of this year of the deceased dressed as a geisha. As is also the case of young Tyreke Borel, both had the world at their feet but instead two bright lights have been snuffed out by those who have no regard for the life of another.
Some of the incidents occurred during J’Ouvert and the others hours later during the parade. Most occurred within the same area several blocks away from the location where 43-year-old Carey Gabay, an aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo was killed last year when hit by stray bullets during a shootout between gang rivals.
Gabay and one other person was also shot and killed in the midst of J’Ouvert festivities.
Every year, someone’s blood spills on the streets of Brooklyn during J’Ouvert. Every year someone ends up in the morgue and after each incident profiteers, i.e., party organizers, government bureaucrats, vendors, etc. race baits and takes offense at anyone who complains about the parade’s history or suggests that it should be discontinued.
All pretend that the violence is not that bad, a fluke or out of the ordinary for these events. Many blame those crazy Americans because no one from the Caribbean community would commit such acts of violence.
Before the sun set this Labor Day, De Blasio as his predecessors did before him held a photo op much like last year’s promising to reign in gun possession, crime, street gangs and violence even threatening to make this year’s festivities the last of that which should have been done away with two decades ago.
Then by noon the following day, with last night’s dog and pony on record, all threats suggesting the cessation of these annual festivities are walked back.
While great sound bites to those buying the bull, threats to reign in the possession of firearms are threats against the legal ownership and possession not access to illegal firearms, the tide of which are virtually impossible to control.
FAIL!
In the following video, Commie Bill is talking loud and saying nothing.
Same time, next year.
