Mayor Bill de Blasio bans all large gatherings in NYC through September EXCEPT Black Lives Matter protests, insisting the 'historic movement must be respected' as demonstrations haven't caused a spike in coronavirus

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday that he is banning all large gatherings in the city in a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus, but gave exception to Black Lives Matters protests insisting the ‘historic’ demonstrations must be respected. Speaking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Thursday night, de Blasio said the demonstrators’ calls for social justice and racial equality were too important to silence, considering more than a month of protests had not caused a spike in COVID-19 cases. While protests will be permitted to take place without push-back, de Blasio said that all other large events would be cancelled in the city through September.

Cuomo should give this clown the axe.
Else N.Y. City as a financial base for taxes will be gone.
Anyone who has a business located in the Big City is a fool.

There is no New York City anymore. You people didn’t grow up here. Under Giuliani it was a great city. That’s gone. This is the Soviet socialist Republic of whatever.

I have no strings attached year I can just move to Pennsylvania when I want. Staten island is still fine when it changes I’ll go

We have insane leaders to n many major Democrat cities. we owe 26 or 27 trillion dollars and are about to add another trillion and a half to it.

Cities are burning. Monuments are being torn down. White people are losing their jobs if they say anything that the left is offended by. Whites are being degraded at work.

congressman both Republican and Democrat took a fortune from the last stimulus package. Any family business did very well

We have 535 kings and queens. No longer a congress.

we have one bathroom fits all policies and a boy can say he feels like a girl and dress with the girls in the gym.

And on and on and on.

We won’t even last as long as Rome did.

do you read the articles here? Hundreds of them a day all pointing to the end of America.

And it seems anyone a republican President appoints to the supreme Court starts drifting left the second they are there.

It might be too late

Have the cable news networks covered this insanity? Somehow I doubt it. It will not play well across America.

No spike?

How can they tell since they prohibit contact tracers from asking about protest/riot attendance?

It’s not playing well in NYC or NYS.

Hence the decades long decline in House districts as residents vote with their feet.

Fear not. We have to hang together or hang separately.

The good news is that this dope is undermining his own orders.

One of the reasons the governor of PA issued a mandatory facemask order last week was that he knows damn well he can’t shut businesses down again even if everyone in PA is infected with COVID-19, and he’s going to lose a lot of court battles over his prior shutdown orders. And he’s going to lose those court battles because the photos and video clips of him demonstrating with crowds at “Black Lives Matter” protests will he entered as evidence by every person and business who fights these orders in court.

It started in late June when the state health department tried to get a court order to shut down the Carlisle Auto Show. The judge basically laughed the state lawyers out of her courtroom ... and asked how they could possibly argue that large crowds are a “health risk” when THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE was out parading around in large crowds with no face covering and no “social distancing.”

No, just like keeping abortion legal, I assume he wants them to get sick and die.

Normals right now are concerned about spreading this to their families and co-workers; the permanent underclass has neither.

If BLM were smart, they would run a slate of candidates for political office

They’ll probably just walk in and take these seats until people start ventilating a few.

This had to be the Babylon Bee.

The mayor is banning demonstrations by LGBT groups but not BLM.

This will not be tolerated!

I wonder if the left sees the country as falling apart but for completely different and wrong reasons.

Where is the scientific data showing that the blm riots have not shown a spike in CV-19 cases? I keep hearing the media talking heads and the politicians regurgitating this talking point, but no one mentions how the so-called "experts" came to this conclusion.

Let's see the detailed studies that were apparently conducted and peer-reviewed in record in order to arrive at this conclusion with such certitude.
