Police protect the rights of demonstrators objecting to the G20 summit this weekend in Hamburg, Germany, Mayor de Blasio said Saturday in an appearance before a protest rally of tens of thousands of people.
Our right to protest is directly related to the fact that our police protect us, the mayor said.
He began his speech by remarking at the size of the audience he spoke to: We have a phrase in America we like to use: This is what democracy looks like.
De Blasio appeared on the outdoor stage in central Hamburg with his son Dante, a Yale University student who is spending the summer in an internship in Berlin.
He was the keynote speaker at the rally held by the protest group Hamburg Zeigt Haltung [Hamburg Shows Attitude].
Earlier, in a speech at Hamburgs Thalia Theater, de Blasio spoke of New York as a city that works for all different people, using the metaphor of crowded subway trains to illustrate his point.

but then, liberal idiots such as him, decry police action, when the “protesters” launch a riot and create mayhem and destroy property. Idiots such as him, who egg on “protesters” to turn violent, then condemn police actions when police move in to quell the violence.
Why do so many liberal oriented protests become violent?
Why did the Trump State Department issue an exit visa for this clown?
“De Blasio appeared on the outdoor stage in central Hamburg with his son Dante”
So there are 2 nuts attending.
Is it wrong of me to hope that a protester kills him?
This idiot is a disgrace to his city and country.
I think the more likely thing would be if the protest crowd finds his limo and sets it on fire. Judging from the car-count, I’d say they are way over a hundred vehicles set ablaze so far.
De Blasio, there is a difference between peaceful protests and insurrection.
Stay gone Bill.
“Exit visa?” As objectionable as de Blasio is, he doesn’t need US government permission to visit Germany.
We have a phrase in America we like to use: This is what democracy looks like.
“This is what a moron looks like.”
“This is what democracy looks like.
No, De Blasio, democracy doesn’t look like a throng of wild-eyed arsonists and rioters.
“Why did the Trump State Department issue an exit visa for this clown?”
There is a saying something to the affect of “if an adversary is about to make a fool out of himself, let them”
Riots here and there are part of a Soros funded coordinated insurrection against the government of the United States and it’s duly elected President.
The day of reckoning is coming where head cracking, orders to shoot looters on sight and broken glass/fire starting/property damage carry still felon prison sentences are all green lighted.
...and he was dumb enough to do this with the backdrop of Hamburg burning and an assassinated cop in his city.
Could be one of the most remarkable self inflicted political blunders in the world of politics.
If “right wing” protestors started rioting in NYC and burning down the Mayors office, I wonder if he would say “This is what democracy looks like.”
Enjoy the suck New York, you have elected the perfect idiot.
Might not be as wrong if you just hope for a protester to burn his car or smack him with a smallish rock. Or that he be caught in the mob and the police can do nothing — just to scare him a little.
Oh no another political spawn in NYS. What’s the chance this is a future NYS governor (Dante) (Unless Andrew or Chris Cuomo has same generational kids).
Bronx Cheers await when you get home, Wilhelm.
“Dante”......appropriate name for the son of a communist atheist buffoon.
