Revolting
Mayor Del Blasio just made a visit to Hamburg, Germany. It wasn’t official City of New York business. Actually it wasn’t official American business of any sort. He went there to support and rally the protestors of the G-20 summit. The same protestors that physically injured 196 police officers with rock throwing and brawls in Hamburg. The same protestors that lit cars on fire and looted stores. The same protestors that required water cannons and tear gas to be brought under control. THESE protestors warranted a transatlantic visit from the MAYOR OF NEW YORK???!!! THESE protestors drew the mayor of America’s greatest city away from graduation ceremonies of this year’s class of police recruits (and the vigil for recently assassinated police officer Familia)???!!!
This is madness. Unadulterated madness. Every single thing that this fraud of a mayor has done is revolting. From his pay to play schemes with his campaign donors (don’t forget his brazen attempt to shut down horse drawn Central Park carriages so his donors could develop the land the stables were on?), his immoral campaign finance practices that JUST slipped below the threshold for criminal prosecution (and for which he stuck the tax payers of NYC with the legal defense bill!), his lack of real support for the brave officers of the NYPD, his discontinuance of the stop and frisk policies that have kept New Yorkers safe for two decades, his support for Puerto Rican terrorist (who murdered five people) Lopez Rivera until nearly EVERY OTHER PERSON IN NEW YORK CITY insisted that he withdraw his support, his manipulation of “official” statistics so as to show how “safe” NYC is, whereas anyone who listens to the daily news knows how bogus those claims are. His continuation of “sanctuary city” status in defiance of federal mandates. His refusal to release voter registration data, again defying federal mandate. And, on top of all this, he’s supporting the lawless protestors in Germany?Revolting. There’s no other word.
We can take heart, however, by remembering that only 24% of registered voters actually voted in the November 2013 election. Of those, 73% voted for Del Blasio. Doing the math (24 X 0.73) we see that ONLY 17% of ALL REGISTERED VOTERS IN NEW YORK CITY VOTED FOR THIS MAN. One can hope and pray that the other 83% will get off of their seats and vote this November.
Just an update: number of German police injured is up to 467! How can any elected official stand with these violent people whose goal is to tear down our society?
