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.

As bad as de blah blahsio is at some point you have to realize that he’s merely the symptom. I wouldn’t be surprised if after everything he’s still reelected in a landslide.

NYC has already killed most of those who will be killed by the virus and the medical system was never overloaded.

It should be open 100%. You don’t impoverish 60 people to save 1. If you think we do, in the US, lets put it to a vote (with an honest conversation and not a 95% leftist media) and prove me wrong.

I don't think Joe would do. A REAL leader is needed to navigate their ship through the coming battles.

Even a strong cabal behind Joe would be insufficient.

They need a single charismatic leader (an antiChrist kind of figure).

Speaking of the Carlisle Swap Meet, unlike "peaceful" demonstrations people who go to those events spend YUUUUGE amounts of $$$ helping local businesses and generating much needed tax revenue to fund BLM "artwork". Also, a lot of us motorheads are old farts, quite a few with health issues who'd be more vulnerable to the CHINESE flu. It would be interesting to see how the Carlisle events caused any COVID spikes compared to the peaceful protests riots

Do you have any hard evidence of this?

Believe me I am in agreement it’s most likely that they are under reporting trying to quell information regarding a link to all the mass gatherings for protests and rioting and looting, but I would like to have something concrete I could cite.

So, the BLM folks screaming at the top of their lungs is OK, but singing in a church is bad. Got it.

Hey libs, see you November 3rd.

This is why people get pissed at public health measures and why this disease is not going to go away.

Have your protest normally and include a single small BLM sign. Then it is a BLM protest.

All New Yorkers, both city and state, can easily fight back against the planned and programmed destruction of their city and state by merely voting for Trump/Pence in November. There is no better way to shove de Blassio’s and Coumo’s heads up their own butts so they can enjoy the view.

Why is Mayor de Blasio trying to infect and kill black people and woke white SJWs?
