NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio So ‘Frustrated’ with Panhandlers He Wants to Make It Illegal

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he is so fed up with the city’s panhandlers begging for money on the street that he wants to ban the practice.

“I’m saying that not as a matter of policy. I’m saying that as a human being, bluntly,” Mayor de Blasio told WNYC radio Friday.

Oh my. Now he's gone and done it. I've lost all respec.................... Oh, I never had any. So, is this POS running for another term? Will he win? Probably. The radio station must have caught him before his quick trip to Hamburg where he was to keynote and pump up the blackbloc assclowns. If you look up POS in the funk and wagnels, you'll probably find a pic of DUH-blahzero.

“I’m saying that as a human being, bluntly” Commies aren’t human, they are useful idiots.

I actually agree with him on this one. Not a complete ban but tailor anti vagrancy laws to allow the police to be able to stop unacceptable behaviour.

Since deBlasio is such a nice Communist, why not just hire the panhandlers to sweep the streets, like they did in his beloved Moscow?

This problem didn’t exist until after inauguration day, along with all the homeless people that will now suddenly appear. And now guess who will get the blame. Of course they are like the cicadas, when a Republican wins they appear.

Maybe he’ll rediscover broken windows policing.

Not very likely. The panhandlers ARE his biggest constituents.

They believe in the death penalty when it serves their purpose. Until that point they believe in victimization.

Now all he has to do is bring back “Stop & Frisk” policies.
It must be close to election year, or he got more negative blowback for this unnecessary trip to Germany than was expected.

I can’t believe that I am actually agreeing with him. If people would only stop giving them money and instead give it to the Salvation Army or some other organizations that help homeless or drug and alcohol addicted people. When you give them money you are actually hurting them in the long run. Some of them are actually just cons anyway. I keep seeing these Gypsy women with little kids begging for money in the Home Depot parking lot in Roseville. I thought about calling Child Protective Servives and I will if I see them again.

The true beauty of Communism is every one is equal in death.

Comrade De Blasio isn’t offended by people having nothing; he is offended being reminded inequality is a fact of life in a free society.

Of course if we lived in an equal society, it wouldn’t be a free society any more.

Logic is a concept lost on the Left.

But he’s fine with them pissing in the street. Setting up a homeless camp in Penn station.

Jackass.

I assume that he had a security detail from NYPD with him on his trip to Germany. Any reports on that. So it probably cost taxpayers a lot no matter who paid for his ticket. First class of course. Or did he go by private jet?

“Aggressive panhandling” has been illegal in NYC a long time and police will arrest or shelter bums that do so. Happens about once a month on my block.

Since it is considered a crime in progress, the city asks that you call 911
