There was a Lenin statue on a building in the Lower East side. Some Russian dude owned a building and bought one from Russia and put it up on the roof.
The city eventually made him remove it.
There are laws against destroying propertyâŚto be used against some people but not others.

Wait⌠really? They took it down?
A friend of mine lived in Red Square.
You know what⌠I looked it up. They moved it.
I used to ride up 1st ave to work all the time and one day I noticed it was gone.
Think everyone will cash more stimulus checks as a result?
If the second wave happens you will be correct.
Many of the politicians who would be in charge of trying to keep the spread under control will have zero credibility.
Better hope the second wave is less severe than the first because if itâs notâŚwhat has transpired thus far in 2020 will be seen as a picnic.
That tweet was in April, but DeBlasio is still acting this way now.
As I said. DeBlasio sucks.
Caving into the Orthodox Community doesnât help things either.
Just my opinion though.
I agree.
But they already âcavedâ to the protesters.
So if we get a second wave, weâre screwed because no one left who will have the power to do things will have any credibility.

Yeah⌠if the next couple of weeks sees an uptick in infections because of the protests, that means that opening up schedule is halted and NYC will be screwed.
Right now I am contingent to goo back to work at the beginning of August. That is if everything goes well.
From those that I know who have been going to the protests and have been involved in community service in the city,⌠they have been taking the precautions that they can. But I know that not everyone involved is having a level of caution that they should be taking.
One thing to know about the relationship with the Orthodox and Hasidic community to the rest of the city, they are not really well liked. It has nothing to with them being Jewish, but with how they interact with the surrounding people. They are a powerful voting block, so they are pandered to⌠a lot.
You know who else targeted Hasidic Jews in the middle of this? Israel.
Link?
For context in the New York area, consider the recent spike of anti-Semitic crimes including a mass murder targeting Hasidic Jews in Newark last December. A large portion of the anti-Semitic attacks have targeted Orthodox Jews, especially Hasidic Jews:
Here is a report from January on recent attacks in Brooklyn:
Is de Blasio fanning the flames of anti-Semitism?
I wouldnât have even brought it up if it wasnât happening again and would have even agreed with you. As the way it looks now is mass protesting and rioting by BLM and company acceptable but the JĂźdin are not allowed in the park.
The playgrounds are set to open up on Monday with phase 2.
Everyone chill.

Targeted lockdowns.
De Blasio is an idiot. Orthodox Jews like to be a nation into themselves. They even have their own ambulances and security.
Nobody is allowed in the park. The playgrounds are all locked down in every neighborhood. You guys thinking this is some sort of targeting is freaking hysterical after calls to lockdown New York and prevent New Yorkers from traveling.
Oh and Soros!!!
Oh one other thing. The dudeS who shor up a synagogue the past two years were white supremacists. Black nationalists are â â â â â â â â â
Siri had nothing to with this.
I can assure you, he doesnât want to antagonize the Orthodox community. They are a powerful voting bloc.
Playgrounds are closed for a reason. Parks are not closed.
