I grew up and lived in New York city (until 2 months ago - I couldn’t take living under despotism anymore) and as much as despot Bloomberg is hated, Koch is/was loved and I don’t even have to guess this subhuman POS Bloomberg will use even this to shine the spotlight on himself. Take bets now, 1000% guaranteed. A lot of memories with Koch, although he was a lib he was a cool guy who respected the people.
Probably the most lib I remember him was during the Simon and Garfunkel concert in Central park in 1981 he told cops not to bust anyone for smoking weed - so guess what people were doing right next to cops? LOL! I remember one mounted cop laughing. I always remember that because now under despot Bloomberg you can’t even smoke a cigarette. I also remember Koch walking over the Brooklyn bridge with everybody during the transit strike screaming to hell with the union lol! Despot Bloomberg - Take a good look at a REAL Mayor, one who actually showed RESPECT towards the people. RIP Mayor Koch.
“Take a good look at a REAL Mayor, one who actually showed RESPECT towards the people.”
Amen to that. The only thing most politicians (D/R) show respect to is the reelection cash coming in the back door, and the people but ONLY on election day.
