De Blasio: Trump would be arrested if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue

Here’s one hypothetical Mayor Bill de Blasio will answer!

Hizzoner said Thursday that President Trump would be arrested if he pulled a gun and shot someone on Fifth Avenue, despite the president’s attorneys arguing in Manhattan appellate court Wednesday that Trump would be immune from prosecution.

“If anybody shoots someone, they get arrested, I don’t care if you’re president of the United States, if you shoot someone, you should get arrested and we would arrest him,” de Blasio told reporters at an unrelated press conference.

“Anyone who says that and calls themselves a lawyer should not be a lawyer, let’s start with that,” the mayor added. “But if you shoot someone, that’s a crime and no one is above the law. He would be arrested, period.”

Apparently communists don't understand the concept of saying something "tongue in cheek". As in, tongue panted firmly in cheek.

If this Marxist get elected again, the people of New York City deserve him, his disgusting thief of a wife, and his inability to do anything positive to govern the city.

If he's elected again, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire police force quit en masse.

Seems like I saw something about a democRAT legislator proposing a bill whereby policemen wouldn't be allowed to carry a gun in NYC.

Now there's some real smart dumb asses for you.

However, no one will be arrested for killing an unborn child on 5th Avenue...

Maybe President Trump could try out the theory and shoot DeBlasio on Fifth Avenue.

He is a moron. His ability to effect the arrest would be federal secret service vs NYPD. If the evidence was there, the impeachment would take about 15 minutes and Pence would be president. More concerning is DeBlasio taking an obvious joke as real and making plans as if true.

That was part of the fig leaf for the Russia “investigation”. What about the video of Biden shaking down Ukraine to fire a prosecutor? He outlined committing a probable crime, using his official position for an outcome favorable to get his son out of a criminal investigation and there were millions of dollars of money to his family exchanged. What does the Mayor think on something a little more real?

no one is above the law.

Except for Antifa goons that ambushed and attacked a couple of Proud Boys in NYC.

The Proud Boys got 4 years in prison for defending themselves,
while NO charges were brought upon their attackers.

Once again, D’Blowhard is wrong.

Foreign diplomats have diplomatic immunity. They can shoot someone in cold blood and not be arrested. The host country can always withdraw their diplomatic immunity to allow the host country to prosecute. Absent that, no you can’t arrest someone with diplomatic immunity. So D’Blownose is wrong yet again.

A sitting president cannot be arrested or indicted. You have to wait until the end of his term and hope the Statute of Limitations has not run out on the crime.

One of his lawyers made this argument in court this week.

Judge Denny Chin asked Consovoy how such a scenario would work under the president’s claims of executive immunity from prosecution and investigation.

“What’s your view on the ‘Fifth Avenue’ example?” Chin asked. “Local authorities couldn’t investigate, couldn’t do anything about it?”

“Nothing could be done, that’s your position?” he added.

“That is correct,” Consovoy responded.

I wonder if he realizes that, if a UN member walked out into the street and shot someone, he would NOT be arrested?

WTH????? Why would he even bring something like that up? Talk about the King of Jack@sses!

DeBlasio is nuttier than the drunken lunatic Kankles. He’s babbling like someone who needs to be tazed and then put in a straight jacket.

I love that this is what the public pays for now. Opinions like this about scenarios that will never happen.
