Naw, these groups already have tons of flair.
Interesting hats, all black clothes. And sideburn-bangs.

Dude said he was going to have people illegally arrested and starts it of with "to the Jewish community" if you can't understand why that's incredibly fricked up maybe you should learn some 1940s German history

Did they break the law then too?

I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.


To me the only thing more scary than elected leaders assuming the power to simply ignore the Bill of Rights, is the number of people who don’t even question it. Our Constitutional Republic is dead.

this is a problematic tweet and he is getting blasted by all sides for it

I agree, it is problematic. But not much will be done because he's a democrat. I mean, it's 12 hrs later and the tweet is still up and no apology. If it was a republican mayor or politician it wouldn't have lasted 30 mins before Twitter would have it deleted and suspended their account.

He singled out Jews because he knew he would get some push back but it would be nothing but a ripple nationally. If he had said blacks the national media and talking heads would have had his head on a platter by sundown.

Is it?

Judging from the posts by actual New Yorkers in this thread, he had good reason to single them out.

I really couldn't care less if apologizes or not. He can say what he wants as far as I'm concerned. But the calls for an apology would be deafening if it was someone from the other side.

I'd just like to see everyone have to play by the same rules. I don't think I'll ever get my wish in my lifetime though. Everything and everyone has become too entrenched with their respective sides now days.

Go look at the pictures of regular folks out watching the flyover the other day. Same thing. He didn't say shite to them.

That flyover picture is nowhere near the 400 people packed into a room that comfortably holds 150 or blocks packed like Mardi Gras that has been the norm with the Orthodox Hasidic religious services all over the city since this started.

Those of us who actually live here and witness their b.s. daily while hoping we may be able to go back to work before 2025 only to hear there's yet another huge eruption of cases in an yet another Hasidic community are sick of their shite.

Yes, sadly he can. They don't teach history the way it happened anymore, the PC it and spin it.
