If Mayor Putz had thrown in a just kidding line, his Tuesday press conference would have made more sense. Instead, he again looked like a mayor who doesnt give a damn.
Except for that incident, overwhelmingly we had a peaceful weekend in central Brooklyn, de Blasio told reporters.
That incident was the shooting of a 6-year-old boy and his mother. And the peaceful weekend included the shootings of 26 other people around the five boroughs.
If this is peace, what would war look like?
Called on his disconnect, de Blasio fired back by saying he was only talking about central Brooklyn. So now hes just the mayor of central Brooklyn?
It is hard to imagine that New York will survive the nearly 16 months remaining in de Blasios reign of error, and even harder to believe he wants to do the work the job requires. Lazy by nature, he has coasted since he was re-elected in 2017 for his second and final term, and his performance during the pandemic reveals hes already quit on the city.
Serious plans for reopening schools were nonexistent for too long and he made little effort and next-to-no progress in getting the union on board. The citys unemployment rate remains at nearly 20 percent and some 646,000 private sector jobs vanished, yet there is no evidence de Blasio cares about getting people back to work.
The city is hemorrhaging red ink but his only stabs at the gigantic and growing deficit are to try to raise taxes and borrow.
All these circumstances constitute emergencies, but Public Enemy No. 1 is the surge of violent crime.

How about 49 shot and 10 dead? And that with less than a quarter of the population.
It's not that a majority of NYC residents support DeBlasio. It's worse than that. They just don't seem to care.
