De Blasio: NYC will paint, rename streets to honor Black Lives Matter
[NYPOST] The city will paint its roadways and rename streets in each borough to honor the Black Lives Matter movement, Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
announced Tuesday."It’s time to do something officially representing this city to represent the fundamental power of Black Lives Matter," de Blasio said during his daily City Hall press briefing as he was surrounded by a group of social justice activists.

The mayor said the Big Apple will "name streets in each borough and to paint the words on the streets of this city in each borough at a crucial location — one of which will be here near City Hall — that black lives matter."

The announcement comes after thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets of the city for more than a week to protest the May 25 killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis cop, as well as police brutality.

"We don’t want to have to name a street, but I’m glad that we are," Iesha Sekou, the founder and CEO of Street Corner Resources, an anti-violence organization, said during the press briefing.

Sekou added, "We also want to make sure that police are not allowed to act the way we’ve been seeing."

"We’re looking very much forward to holding the police accountable for their behavior," she said.

#4 #1 we are reaping the consequences of not holding the Left responsible for when the Wall fell. Those institutions should have been purged of the losers or dismantled. It is just like the Western Europeans who did nothing while Germany rearmed in the 30s.

#6 Oh yeah! That will fix everything.

Just what we need, more empty symbolic grandstanding to distrtact the poor schlubs from the fact that the Dems havent done a damned thing for them, while trump had their unemployment at historical lows, etc. Anything to keep them from thinking, and keep them depending on the government.

#11 Is there any part of NYC left that remembers being ashamed of this travesty that is your city government and Mayor? Is there nothing you will not tolerate? I'm all the way out in rural Nevada now and I'm ashamed for you...
