Well there is one certain religion that I wouldn’t cover that blanket with.

DeBlahBlah has got to be NYC’s worst mayor ever.

There was not any doubt of that even before all the crap he's pulled this year.

This is why most atheists are unfit for public office. The government is his true religion.

So what needs to happen is protests against the prejudice against religion.

That is true in some cases, not all.

I am not a fan of protests, and after all of the stuff the past week, I’m protested out. We need civil disobedience — religious believers of all kinds attending their houses of worship. They can’t arrest us all. Any effort by the government to stop it will show what we are up against.

The Marxist bastard has bought into the 1619 narrative as well as Marx’s “religion is the opiate of the people”.

Warren Wilhelm has outdone Dinkins. Dinkins was a mere piker. Wilhelm is a full bore communist.

I was looking at the looting here compared to the Crown Heights riots under Dinkins.

Presumably, there is an objective measurement of "riot damage" somewhere in the FBI files.

Yeah, a close contender I guess.

Religion IS Essential

Let us see: buying merchandise from stores is prohibited and criminalized, but looting the same merchandise from the same stores is widely practiced and celebrated. Killing innocent unborn babies is so widely practiced and triumphantly celebrated that it annihilates a majority of the preborn population in the City (and disproportionately black babies suffer this fate), but objecting to the genocide openly and vocally is prohibited and criminalized with strict enforcement. So of course the city government cannot tolerate a group of people who proclaim “Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not commit adultery.”

We have in the City of New York a Communist dictatorship with complete nonsense for a governing philosophy. I completely endorse this piece in National Review:
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/we-should-vote-for-the-opposite/

Michael Brendan Dougherty proposes, “All left-wing activism shall be banned in the name of public health or restricted to ten people or fewer no matter the size of the venue. At the same time, this candidate must vocally encourage attendance at massive religious processions as an obvious remedy for what ails society.”

Remember, protesting is still illegal, but looting, graffiti vandalism, property destruction, and car-torching, especially in large groups, is strangely encouraged.
