Nightmare in New York: How Covid-19, BLM protests and a liberal mayor are turning the city into a no-go zone as murders skyrocket, shops are looted and 500,000 middle-class residents flee
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 5, 2020 | Caroline Graham

Two bullet-ridden bodies lay sprawled on bloodstained concrete steps. Alongside, relatives of the victims are wailing and collapse to the ground. In another part of the city, a gang of youths use spray paint to disable security cameras before robbing a corner store. Later, video footage captures police officers sitting helplessly in their patrol car as a baying crowd hurls glass bottles at them. This is lawless New York – a city that was once America’s glittering crown jewel but which risks descending into mob rule. Murder figures have skyrocketed and a combination of the coronavirus pandemic, Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and weak political leadership is in danger of achieving what Osama Bin Laden never could: bringing the Big Apple to its knees.

Looks like whitey Leftists who pined for the days of "gritty" and "edgy" New York are getting what they asked for good and hard.

Sadly white lefties have done the damage and are running to your state or a state near you with the same mind set that destroyed NY. This is the true virus

This is part of a deliberate plan.

Replacing the police is a key step in insurgency, and DeBlasio will be calling on the UN’s “strong cities” alliance that he has NYC a part of to put down the very rebellion and mayhem his team purposely created.

If God wants to punish evil people, all He has to do is give them what they want. So it always is with the left. They are ultimately self-destructive, and no matter how bad things get, it is always someone else’s fault.

Quite a difference between the Giuliani period and the Warren DeBlasio period. And no, it is not just the changing times. It is the difference between rational Republican government and control by Communist revolutionaries.

It took the Russian Bolsheviki 70 years to self destruct.

“Our most powerful enemies are Jewish liberals.”

I didn’t know the Chinese were Jewish.

solzhenitsyn said the Russians knew that everything fell apart 70 years before the rest of the world and why: “This has happened because men forgot God.”

It wasn’t 70 years to self-destruct, it was 70 years of self-destruction. Big, identifiable historical markers such as the fall of the Berlin wall are only a visible sign of what has been happening for a while. The Soviet Union was never a viable state. The United States has seen massive social decline over the last sixty years, but because it occurred along with technical advancement many people are unaware of how precipitously bad things have become.

We now spend the entire cost (adjusted for inflation) of the 12 year Apollo program on welfare payments every 90 days. That is the sign of a society that has already collapsed, it just doesn’t know it yet.

As a man from the old Soviet Union once told me - he said to be very afraid for America - because “there are fools in every country.”

We are perilously close to the point where the fools are in total power in the USA.

“This is the true virus”

And as New York’s Liberals flee the very dystopia they’ve created, they take the political-poison of their thinking with them to infect other parts of the country with their vile ideology and abhorrent voting practices.

FL and NC have become politically warped due to this NE flight away from their self-created madness as they still strive to live among normal people.

They are mindless destroyers.

They all need to get mugged by their own voting habits.

What is important is the mayor and his wife have made at least $800 million disappear from the taxpayers into their pockets with more stealing to come.
