These 2 clowns turned this city upside down the last 4+ years and who knows when they will stop. Even before the pandemic hit, us middle-class, working tax payers were in for a huge tax hit - now sky's the limit and they might even cut more of the city's budget including education, infrastructure, police, etc. Again, just my opinion and how I am seeing the downfall of this city by these 2 clowns.

Excerpt:cut more of the city's budget including education,

From my school of thought: the more stupid people on the streets the more danger exists..........

Good way of putting it. And after the outrage subsides, and the clean-up starts, whenever that may be, these same mayors will be crying for Federal help to get things back on track.

You pay all these taxes to the city for services, like police protection, and yet you get nothing.
Ironically much of our taxes also goes into paying for social services to the many people that are participants of the looting and rioting.

Why would people want to work and live in NYC to support the liberal agenda of feeding and nurturing of people that are causing all the troubles.

The so called "inequalities" they claim simply means the check isn't enough so we're gonna loot and take more.

All politicians are pandering to the BLM mob. They are deadly scared that anything they do will open them up to being called racist. "You're either with us or against us" is the mob rally right now, it's a very ugly situation.

Nobody is showing any leadership, it's pathetic. They even tried to make Drew Brees look like a racist. Drew Brees! This guy is the African American community's biggest friend and ally who has done more for New Orleans than any another single person.

Things are so f'd right now

Well stated!

And to go a step further, this "BLM movement" is also holding the cities hostage, as the pathetic city leaders are not only afraid of being labeled as racist, they're also afraid of more violence and looting will occur, if they don't cozy up to the rioters. It's downright insane......
