Well, since there have been two black on white random hate crime attacks there in the last 2 days (with both of the perpetrators proclaiming their hatred of whites before attacking) and a huge upsurge in crime in Central Park and other formerly safe public spaces in Manhattan, I’d say New Yorkers should think twice about that.
On the other hand, de Blasio is married to a black woman, and they have a son who has been appearing in ads for his father, so maybe he will defuse some of the anti-white (and anti-Hispanic and anti-Asian) hostility generated by Obama among blacks there.
Big mistake early on: Quinn wants to do away with stop and frisk. Unless she’s lying on her lousy tv ads.
Why is the kid walking around looking like JJ Walker in a 1970s sit com? And talk about pushing the race card in your face!
She's a moron. She can't help herself.
Ah, but deeply attractive!
The beauty of this is that the GOP candidate can appeal to stop-and-frisk voters. Given the immutability of gun control in NYC, most moderates and conservatives there probably support stop-and-frisk.
Don’t care. Like every other liberal mayor, he will screw it up with his nanny state agenda and then some Republican will have to clean up his mess.
What the opening of this piece should have said:
“With crime down and with fears of terrorism receding, voters are free to focus on issues such as income inequality and affordable housing—and forget about how crime got down and fears of terrorism receded in the first place and elect a leftist moron who will restore crime to the streets and drive business away turning places like Times Square back into the filth infested dumps they once were.”
And so the cycle of idiocy continues. The leftists destroy, the conservatives are called in to rebuild, the voters forget how things got rebuilt and elect the liberals. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Well, his look may actually be a little more effective. He looks like a leftover black hippie preserved in amber...but that’s ok, because he might have more credibility that way, and in any case, that “look” is coming back.
When I was a teenager, most of the guys at the leftwing special public high school I attended in NY wanted to look like lefties from the 1930s (their parents’ generation) and even brought out cloth caps that hadn’t been worn by real working men since - well, the 1930s. Once in a while, I’d see caps like that on some ancient mannie in a Riker’s cafeteria on Broadway, but otherwise I saw them only on my fellow students.
Exactamundo!
The pea brained liberals have a hard time connecting cause and effect. Might it be that the cause of the supposedly lower crime rate is the “stop-and-frisk policy” which de Blasio said he would quickly do away with?
New York’s renaissance was in large part due to the money made in financial services over the last thirty years. That this created more “inequality” is a natural consequence. The only way anyone could reduce “inequality” in NY is to drive away those people and those businesses. Which would make everything more equal, but worse.
Unless of course this is all just the usual political pandering.
Has any bicycle, anywhere, ever been peddled backward, as quickly as this administration has backpeddled it’s various policy statments, since it’s inception?
That’s very funny. Yes, it may be that black boys want to look like Huey Newton. I think they look like crap.(It’s also very, very difficult to maintain!)
Plus it’s horrible to sit behind in a movie theater.
NYC has changed, in my opinion. I don’t think a Republican (liberal, of course) can get elected until the city returns to the depths of the 1970s. Of course, Bloomberg allowed the squeegees and homeless back into the city (as well as Occupy Wall St.) but I was the only one to notice.
Hah! I had a friend who would always ask big haired people who sat in front of her to MOVE. I always cringed but secretly admired her crust.
Huge upsurge in Central Park crime??? Hahaha. Good one.
There has actually been a big increase in robbery and rape in Central Park in the last year - in fact, we seem to have gone back to the “corridor” model for various events there (a protected corridor through which people were supposed to exit).
Look up the statistics.
Through September 1st, there have been six rapes in Central Park. In 2012, there were zero through September 1st. Six rapes in eight months. It's only a lot when you compare it to zero.
Through September 1st, there have been five robberies in Central Park. In 2012, there were seven robberies through September 1st.
There have been six burglaries in 2013 versus one in 2012. All in all, there have been 74 "major" crimes in 2013 as opposed to 67 in 2012. Don't look at percentages. Look at actual numbers. There is basically no "major" crime in Central Park.
