“So you saw the transformation from Dinkens through Giuliani etc? Do tell, share a story or two?”

I was mugged in 1989. Outside of MSG of all places. Broad daylight.

By 1998 I loved the city. Best place on earth. A lot of fun for a young couple without children. Rudy was the difference.

9/11. I treated injured people from the WTC. After that there was a slow decay under Bloomberg. Today’s current climate could be seen approaching like a oncoming train, even before DiCommio took office. There never will be another Rudy to lead that city.

People driving at night need to pull a Kramer....with buckets of black paint as they’re driving along. Just arrange for a LOT of people to toss balloons full of black paint here, there and everywhere, and it will soon be covered enough and messy enough that they have to strip everything off.

Trump should personally paint over the ‘Black’ and replace it with ‘All’. With ‘Including the UNBORN’ underneath.

I sure hope someone doesn’t accidentally spill a few barrels of paint on the murals.

“Anybody tell these morons the POTUS doesn’t live there anymore”

The real point is, why take the bait?

Trump had nothing to do with the Death of St. Floyd, and responded to it the only way he can - by asking the MSP court system and police to deal with it, and offering DoJ help if needed.

He actually went further then he should have.

But DeBozo is trying to turn this into Trump’s crime: and we’re taking the bait as he tries to trigger us.

DeBozo should be forced to answer for the chaos in his city, which is ENTIRELY HIS FAULT.

“There never will be another Rudy to lead that city.”

What was amazing was he was elected and re elected despite being trashed every day by the NY media.

The voters wouldn’t publically praise him but the did so with their vote....twice.

About 2:00 in the morning just take a 5 gal can of red paint and walk down the middle of the painting with the cap off pouring paint out of the spout. This would trick it out nicely. could also lay the can of red paint on the tailgate of a pickup and drive slowly.

Plain and simple, Warren Wilhelm, AKA Bill De Blasio, is a communist azzhole working to destroy New York City, and put in place by the ignorant voters of that same city twice. As one who was born and raised in NYC, having left many years ago, I have no desire to ever set foot in NYC again. What was once the business center of the world has been turned into the world’s biggest s**thole.

“that is not a mural, it’s just words, just a slogan, name of an organization. media can’t even get that right and has to try to make it seem more important than it is.”


This is the second or third time that words painted on a street have been declared a mural.

“A couple defaced a BLM mural” I was expected to see some sort of bad art painted on a wall as is common in cities and towns. Not the words “BLACK LIVES MATTER” painted in yellow letters on the street.

A petty criminal in a democrat controlled town/state dies while being arrested and the response is to paint BLM on streets associated with President Trump in DC and now NYC. I’m boggled by the irrationality of it all.

A White man and a White woman who allegedly painted over a California community’s Black Lives Matter mural this weekend are each facing a hate crime charge, the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

Unbelievable.

If the democrats think they are impressing me with their temper tantrums they are sadly mistaken. I am so sick of them that I can’t wait to vote them out in November.

thoughts on BLM:

1) it's a terrorist organization that has paired with Marxists, Antifa and various militant groups specifically to target another race, and shouldn't be glorified. It backs protests but tries to deny legal accountability if the protest turns violent. It is supported by shadow funding and has no accountability for how that funding is spent.

2) it's cute if it's temporary, for a parade or such

3) it'd be better painted in high-crime areas

4) it would be easy to add ‘all’ without being accused of ‘vandalizing’.

5) it's exclusionary and discriminatory to only allow ‘black’. It's pushes superiority over equality.

6) It sets a standard and legal precedence for any political slogan to be painted on any municipal or private street regardless of the wishes of 'the community' on that street.
