Is prolly true. Because the other half of that scenario: we're all set up already to have only run down and poorly supplied grocery and hardware stores with high prices and hole in the wall restaurants with rude staff. The brand flagship stores and designer boutiques are all trying to get out of their leases. I can't wait for all the cashiers and government employees to mostly be behind smeared and scratched bullet-proof glass and the filthy floors with broken flooring, the constant breaking of car windows for two quarters they can see between the seats or stealing your tirew for the metal rims...oh joy...

was coming anyways! There's going to be no tax money coming in! They may not even be able to cover that.

Oh yeah, now that you mention

In reply to Face facts, if it was built

Oh yeah, now that you mention it, there's a bounty in the city for any revisionist let's-go-to-zero-year revolutionary iconoclast. For example across from St. Pat's is Rockefeller Center, the capitalist pig's multi-building complex of the 1930's with sex-exploited Rockettes show at the Music Hall still dancing for dollars, and a pro-globalist free-trader ice rink with flags of all nations. Center has a main mural originally commissioned from Mexican Diego Rivera but he was fired by Rocky because Rivera painted Lenin into it and made Lenin very prominent, was replaced by fascist Spain expat Jose-Maria Sert who decided to show the white false god Lincoln abolishing bondage as if the slaves didn't help, and all kinds of other bourgeois memes including that white skinned working folks built the whole modern country. Then there's the NBC studios where neo-liberal propaganda rings forth including most MSNBC shows. The whole damn thing is decorated with the Art Deco/Moderne style favored by Hitler. With far too many cis-male looking allegorical figures. I could go on and on but you know, isn't that enough?

Face facts, if it was built more than a century ago it was build by racists. Most of the city needs to be torn down. I think St Patrick's Cathedral should be next. If Act Up wasn't so timid and weak it would already be gone. They had a protest there when they should have burned it down.

ps: On the World of Warcraft forums some one suggested we make a character with blm at the end of the name to show our support. I posted I'm planning on showing my support by burning down my neighbor's house and then looting the local grocery store.

One thing I am pretty sure of: NYPD will get it's wish next mayoral election and get a Republican or Independent "tough on crime and guns" mayor. Enough with the protests here, done, cut it out, leave us in peace, the city has tremendous need for healing and rebuilding. And tax income from people working and people visiting. Absoliutely broke. No money for fucking around cleaning and moving monuments, fixing damage to buildings, buying new windows, paying cops to follow protestors abusively or not...I really feel this in NY: fed up with this shit, we want to just live.

Protesting statues and the like at this time is a luxury for those who have someone supporting their living expenses. Those areas going into lockdown again with surges are unfortunately now gonna see what its like when a city is really dying and coronavirus is hunting them around every corner far more than any cop ever did. And see their health care workers ready to keel over, etc.

Tell me what Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson have to do with the BLM movement goal of changing abusive tactics in racial profiling by current police forces.

in NYC right now, one example from city budget meeting going on right now, live report, the Bronx people vs. the elite radicals who continue protesting, mostly Brooklynites:

Budget subchair @Vanessalgibson making strong point about violent crime in her district that has nothing to do with police abuse, and that her neighbors are not demanding a cut to the NYPD.

Here's Vanessa:

as Cuomo said--from link upthread:

“You don’t need to protest, you won,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo, addressing demonstrators after the state reforms were passed in Albany. “You accomplished your goal.”

Instead, we get this, happened Monday to the famous Washington Square Arch in THE Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village:

Unbelievable.
That arch was designed by legendary architectural firm McKim, Mead, & White.
M,M,&W also designed @Columbia campus and renovated the @WhiteHouse when Teddy Roosevelt was President.
How many more treasures will be desecrated by The Mob before we come to our senses? https://t.co/EUhOWHHFte

So far we hear about the perps caught on a surveillance camera: young white woman on Citibike seemed to be working as lookout for two young men who came to the arch loaded with balloons filled with red paint.

Leibowitz is a financial guy who llives in NJ and is very pro-Israel. He loves NYC, absolutely loves it, calls it "my city.". I think the Dems may have lost his vote over not saying anything about the mobs of young people running around wilding on landmarks, which he is following. He had sympathy for the George Floyd movement but as soon as the wilding started, and all the P.C. talk about Teddy R. and Columbus, that was over. One example of a possible ally that was turned against.

Got news for you: Bronx people want police! Even in the south Bronx.They don't like vandalism. They don't want to go back to "burnin'" Most don't like looting either, but some who are really poor will partake if the chance occurs. In the south they like their new Yankee Stadium with shopping mall. They don't want it wrecked. There's a lot of Dominicans on the west side of the Bronx from Manhattan on up. The LOVE the police. Then there's still some old Irish families still left, many of them still ARE the police!

and note, these people in the article don't give a shit about coronavirus deaths. Like the victims are not even there. 5 police abuse victims are much more important to demagogue than more than 30,000 dead in NY state alone. Not even there. Thanking the pandemic actually, for the time to do full time protest.
