In 2001, New York City was hit by the worst Islamic terror attack in American history. It is now a great place to be a Muslim. Hamas supporters bully the city with impunity, and claiming to be oppressed results in massive payouts:

New York City has agreed to pay a whopping settlement after a pair of women claimed their rights were violated when they were forced to remove their hijabs for mugshots.

Being both Muslim and accused criminals grants them intersectional privilege in a city run by liberals. Consequently:

The city said it will fork over the $17.5 million settlement, which still needs approval from Judge Analisa Torres of U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the New York Times reported Friday.

Given the political orientation of New York judges, taxpayers will be lucky if she doesn’t double the jackpot.

Jamilla Clark and Arwa Aziz were both arrested for violating orders of protection. Too bad taxpayers can’t obtain an order of protection against jackpot justice. The pot is to be divided among the many Muslims expected to exploit the insane decision to make similar claims.

Where to come up with the money to pay for such largesse after shoveling $billions upon $billions at illegal aliens? Squeeze the public for every last penny:

The NYPD is unleashing barnacles to battle parking pirates.

The department this week said it will begin using “windshield boots” — a 17-pound device that attaches to a vehicle’s windshield like a barnacle and remains there until a scofflaw pays their tickets — on illegally parked trucks.

The Barnacle Device — evidently named after bureaucrats — works by blocking the driver’s view. Each costs $250/month to operate.

Bureaucratic barnacles plan to charge $15 to enter NYC. It would be more lucrative to charge people to leave.
