Mamdani Appoints Anti-cop Moonbat to Be NYC Sheriff

Posted on by

What happens to a society when the police hate the police? New York City is about to find out. Zohran Mamdani has appointed radical left-winger Edwin Raymond to be NYC sheriff.

Leftists believe that everything imaginable centers on slavery still existing in parts of the USA 2 centuries ago, so Raymond views the police in this light, comparing them to slave patrols. The New York Post quotes the moonbat:

“So slave patrol were basically, militias, if you will, during the time when slavery was legal, whose job was to catch runaway slaves. And after the Civil War, many of them literally just rolled over into police departments.”

Also, Jim Crow:

In his 2023 book “An Inconvenient Cop,” Raymond doubled down, saying “today’s police force is the kin of the slave patrols of the nineteenth century and the Black Codes of the Jim Crow South.”

Raymond has expressed his hostility to the police by engaging in lawfare:

In 2015, Raymond and 11 other black and Hispanic cops made headlines by filing a federal lawsuit against the NYPD, accusing Transit Bureau supervisors of mandating arrest quotas of people of color.

The case was dismissed but is still under appeal. The odds of the allegations having any validity whatsoever in ultraleft NYC are remote.

Raymond’s race-based ideology has benefited criminals:

In 2017, the NYPD launched an internal probe against Raymond for giving a domestic violence suspect a slide for being Black.

He regards the accidental death of Eric Garner while resisting arrest as an example of “systemic racism.” Mamdani has effectively turned over the sheriff’s office to Black Lives Matter.

Emerging From NYC Sewer in Dead of Night

Looks like Zohran Mamdani could be importing more supporters. The New York Post reports:

A crew of oddballs was filmed emerging from a Brooklyn sewer hole early Friday morning in a strange scene that left New Yorkers questioning their motives.

First, someone removed a manhole cover from McDonald Avenue at about 2:00 am.

Things quickly took a bizarre turn when somebody emerged from the sewer with a flashlight in hand – and then another, and another, and another appeared until seven people were milling about the roadway.

Some appeared to be wearing waders and boots, and they began stripping their apparently filthy clothes off right there on the sidewalk and piling their stuff into a trio of waiting cars.

If they really are Mamdani supporters, they may not have originated in the sewer, but deeper down in hell. Or maybe they are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nothing is too weird to happen in New York.

Given NYC’s dramatic history of Islamic outreach, let’s hope they didn’t leave anything down there.

New York State Uses Moonbat Math to Balance Books for Mamdani

Posted on by

Mamdani won’t spend New York City into bankruptcy with his socialist looting spree; he will spend New York State into bankruptcy.

The New York Post reports:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a whopping $124.7 billion executive budget for New York City on Tuesday – built on the back of $4 billion in funny money from Gov. Kathy Hochul. …

The supposed state assistance largely consisted of kick-the-can measures delaying massive spending, namely a move to restructure $2.2 billion in pension plan payments.

Counting on the state to pay for your retirement might not work out so well.

Albany cannot afford to pick up Mamdani’s tab:

Another measure that pushes back a mandate for maximum school class sizes was counted by the governor’s office as $508 million in state support, even though it just delayed when the city will have to pick up a costly tab.

A bailout tally provided by Hochul’s office also included a $500 million windfall from a pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes – despite the levy being still on the drawing board and city Comptroller Mark Levine arguing the revenue estimate is roughly $200 million too high.

Too bad the Empire State can’t just print the money. That’s why Democrats need to secure power at the national level.

Toxic Empathy Lends an Assist in NYC Subway Murder

Posted on by

Rhamell Burke — the criminal maniac who randomly murdered 76-year-old Ross Falzone by shoving him down the stairs to a subway station right after Burke was released from the Bellevue psych ward — had help from a 23-year-old woman he had previously victimized.

The New York Post reports:

The horrified victim told The Post she and a friend were on a subway in Manhattan on April 2 when Rhamell Burke approached them and began a conversation they quickly shut down before frantically trying to switch cars to get away from him.

She said the crazed suspect stalked them closely and allegedly yanked her by the back of her head in an attempt to slam her to the ground and booted her friend in the back.

Burke kept after them until he managed to get himself arrested. But soon he was free to continue wreaking havoc.

She said the attack left her and her friend “in shock,” but they ultimately chose not to cooperate with prosecutors — a decision she now regrets after Burke was charged with murder on Friday…

“Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail, but, you know, at some point, if you are a criminal, you’re a criminal, and he was scary, he was a scary guy.”

It’s never too late to learn.
