New York, New York, a helluva town

Post by dualstow »

There are a few NYC residents whom I wish still hung out at this forum, so we could complain about Mamdani. Sheigetz(sp?), Don (I’m afraid he may have passed). Of course Sophie, although her take would be more nuanced and she might make me realize I’m totally wrong on this. O0

Wrong on what? Well, this week it’s on the protest and counterprotest near Gracie Mansion, the mayoral residence. Specifically, the way both the mayor and the New York Times are having a hard time mentioning religion when they talk about the jars of metal and fuses homemade bomb used against protesters.

Naming Jake Lang was not a problem at all, and perhaps he does deserve the label white supremacist. He did bring a roast pig to protest at Gracie Mansion and that’s in very poor taste. But the “counter-protestors” brought a bomb. A bomb with nails!

I see the mayor did manage to cough up the names of the allegde bombers a full day after avoiding that. And the NYTimes buried the ISIS stuff until one of the final paragraphs.

What is going on with New York?! I don’t recognize it anymore.
