NYC fires back at Cuomo’s threat to shut down Manhattan over social distancing
NY Post ^ | June 14, 2020 | 5:20pm | Kate Sheehy

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Sunday fired back at Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s threat to shut down Manhattan again if the city didn’t enforce social-distancing better — saying through a rep that “imprisoning people” isn’t the answer. “We must balance safety with people’s need to reopen their businesses,” a City Hall spokeswoman said in an e-mail.

“We had social distancing ambassadors out all weekend distributing masks and encouraging people to disperse after making their purchases.

“These businesses are allowed to be open per the Governor’s guidelines and we don’t believe imprisoning people or taking away their livelihood is the answer.”

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the city that has the homeless defecating in public transit areas and does nothing about it.

Taxpaying citizens enjoying the fresh air and this elected official wants to shut it down again.

I promise you, he will try again.

De Blasio: I'm what counts out here. Not your ****in' coronavirus briefings or your ****in' TV shows. And what are you still doin' on TV anyhow? You know I get calls from your people in Albany every day. They think you went bat****.

Thanks Gov. Cuomo for making it very clear what all this COVID-19 bull sh#t has really been all about.

This stupid social distancing was never about actual health. It was about Leftist government control

Tip for Manhattanites:

If the police come around, just start setting fire to everything and throwing bricks through windows.

They'll leave you alone...

I’m conflicted...I always disagree with both these clowns but it seems in this case I need to take someone’s side...

“Businesspeople” — you know, the kind of “businesspeople” who employ men with weapons and attitude — must be talking rather convincingly to hizzoner.

I’m only about 15 miles away from all of this on Staten Island and you people thousands of miles away care more than I do.

I find that hysterical :)

Things are fine on The Island of Staten.

Funny. Red Wilhelm wanted to shut the city down while Mario’s brat wanted to keep it open. Now they are taking exactly opposite sides.

Why do we have to watch these assclowns every day? New York City could not possibly be less relevant to my life or my community

I might note that the Fearpers don’t seem to have much to say on these threads lately.

Or maybe that’s just my perception.

I was a Flubro from the start, but held my fire until some semi-reliable statistics started coming in. You notice that I say “semi-reliable.”

Anyway, here’s what I found running some of the latest numbers in my current home state of Florida.

At the end of last week there were 69,000 cases of Wu flu confirmed out of a population of 22 million.

That works out to a bit less than one third of one percent.

Of course, the enemedia is trumpeting a spike in Florida cases. And I still see a lot of masks every time I go to Publix or Aldi.

Sheeple ...

"With no police force, how do they plan to enforce it??"

I don't think there's even enough State Police to enforce this crap. And it's possible the NYPD wouldn't even waste their time. Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance made a terrible mistake letting all the looters and arsonists off. He screwed the cops who brought them in, and he screwed the people of New York City...the same ones Cuomo is threatening to arrest. Good luck with that. Wanna talk about discriminatory arrest practices.
