This is a direct threat and a publicly made dare. Now he better bring those patrols back or BLM will declare victory and territorial ownership.
Im a bit concerned at how much this mayor seems to enjoy being in the presence of celebrities, but maybe it’s not going to become a big deal or guiding light.
Without the law and order of Giuliani/Bloomberg, the city is losing normals and jobs steadily. I’m surprised to see several financial jobs still listed there; I assume those workers fled (and even the white-collar replacement Americans don’t want to be set upon by the ferals).
Some FReepers reliably comment that NYC will always bounce back; the remote work accelerated by the scamdemic makes that unlikely. No reason to live in (or attend school in) such a high-cost area with such dependence on mass transit, so accessible to envious and violent gibsmedats.
