is New York City dead?

I’m rooting for the looters. Those kids are having fun out there.

i could give a shit about macy's but those kids having fun out there are allowing nyc residents and world media to associate anti-brutality protests with smash-and-grab robberies which couldn't be more counterproductive.

bonus: a significant number of those kids having fun out there are gonna get their heads cracked open and/or potentially catch a felony when nypd decides to go over the tapes.

and hey not for nothing but given that we've all been in full quarantine lockdown in this city for nearly three months and we've just had a buffet of local violent attacks by the cops on protesters, maybe full-on fucking looting in manhattan is maybe a bit more anarchy than any of us are down for at this precise moment.

silby for presidetn

God forbid

I don’t think my “property crime is fine” plank is much of a winner

abolish property, eradicate property crime

garnish police brass wages to insure looted businesses

Fifth Ave chains can all burn with my blessing

Police scanner was invaluable last night

basically how i feel about looting in manhattan

tourism insurance

stay in Red states where you belong

where will the clothes live now

big box stores

and on white trash asses

Always me with my banal concerns but 8 pm tonight is fucking early for a curfew. Where is this giant puppy supposed to take his last piss!

not sure i understand the purpose or efficacy of curfews given the past few days, other than terrorizing your own populace of course

Criminalizing same, mostly.

u good, bro xxp

deBlasio defending cops to hilt when his own daughter was arrested fascinates me in a sick way

horrible asshole

An emotional ⁦@NYPDChiefofDept⁩ tells ⁦@JoshEiniger7⁩ that it’s time to get the agitators “out of here” - “from California, from all over this country, who are being paid to take this movement, which is a good movement, and turn it into violence.” ⁦@ABC7NY⁩ pic.twitter.com/Zz87dA3UDT

Zephyr for mayor

"Under a Program presented by de Blasio, police spending accounted for only 0.3 percent of out-year budget savings; 34 percent of the spending reductions came from … cuts to education."

Can we get to 2/3rds of the Council for a just budget?https://t.co/NKcNsgzfgO

jon i am inclined to think that a white guy with a dog on a leash within a block of his home is less likely to be harassed than anyone, you should be okay

big box stores
and on white trash asses
fifth avenue chains

Bergdorf Goodman

Nobody's voting for this guy right?

!!! @RepEliotEngel heard on hot mic asking @rubendiazjr for a turn to speak, says twice, "If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn't care."

Diaz responds, "Don't do that to me."

don't live there so i'll take his word for it

At Barclays Center now. Very calm situation. So far, the curfew is certainly helping, based on everything I’ve seen in Brooklyn and Manhattan over the last three hours.

— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) June 3, 2020

translates mostly as 'tourist zone had a safe night'

NY Post hed is SAKS SAFE so we can all sigh safely

It did seem quieter on the police scanner as well fwiw

whenever pols use hyperbole now ("very calm situation") I think of Trump. Ugh

He has poisoned the word ‘very’ for sure

"I'm reminded of the song 'Imagine' by John Lennon," @NYCMayor says

there it is

imagine there's no Target

Just imagine if this year's hottest high end fashions were looted and started to be worn by the poor! They'd have to create a whole season of replacement fashions, and how could that be done during COVID!

Gracie Mansion being marched on

hope Bill is holed up at Saks

pshaw, it'd be more effective to march on the park slope y

that's the cop unions' assembly spot

The NLG-NYC has confirmed: The NYPD’s Intelligence Division & the FBI are questioning people arrested at the recent New York City protests about their political beliefs and affiliations, among other things.
