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.

1) BLM is explicitly political. 2) BLM is preference by race. A slam dunk "deprivation of rights under color of law" case?
The entire democrat party has pledged obedience to blm. If dems are elected in November they will gladly follow the wishes of blm, which include replacing Whites, after taking all their money.
All this money being shifted from Police etc to black communities is just “Re-distribution of Wealth”.....from those who work to those who don’t.
DeIdiot is THE worst mayor in the pantheon of historical worst mayors. Those who elected him and support him are similar malignancies on civil society. Pox upon them...
What is hilarious is that he has singled out one group for exposure to risk.
Does anyone in the ‘media’ have the stones to challenge that?
Yes, it is.
Well painting there was certainly aimed to irritate Trump.
If hizzoner doesn’t allow other “messages” on the streets of NYC, could this act full under a “bill of attainder”?
I have adult children within a days drive so I really don't want to go to much farther away, else I'd be in Idaho or Montana or Alaska...
sweet, then I encourage everyone attending ANY large event of ANY kind, to simply keep a piece of paper in their pocket with “BLACK LIVES MATTER” written on it. And if anyone says something about their gathering.. then simply pull out the paper and declare yourself safe!
ROFL
Only if BLM approves.
The Wuhan Red Death virus is not dangerous when:
It’s an anarchical rally
When it’s an intra-conference game
When it has to pass through the little gaps between the mask And the bridge of your nose
When you’re in 7-11
When you’re on wet sand
When you’re eating
Others?
Anybody anywhere still think the “Chinese Flu pandemic” is about “public health” and “protecting people”? Honestly?
More social programs for the Marxists to rape and pillage.
Bill de Blasio has to be under investigation someplace for something ,LOL
Easily subject to legal suit charging discrimination without cause and without evidence for any difference between large group gatherings.
Gee, good thing the dimwitted New Yorkers didn’t elect a hypocrite./SARC
No. Not any more.
