Comrade Mayor de Blasio isn't concerned about NYC's spike in crime

Big Apple Mayor and faithful Comrade Bill de Blasio [whose real name is Warren Wilhelm, Jr.]  doubled down Friday on his logic-defying decision to not hire more cops in spite of the huge surge in crime in New York City, and even after acting President Joe Biden,  provided federal tax dollars for the increase in policing for large, Democrat-run cities that have seen violent crimes go through the proverbial roof.

Meanwhile, de Blasio has an armed security force that shields him from those problems.

He was asked about his feckless decision not to increase the police force's ability to fight crime after the city received $6 billion in federal COVID-19 relief. Biden even mumbled that the money could be used for dealing with crime issues, but the Communist mayor told Brian Lehrer of WNYC "That's not the whole reality."

"The money that the president focused was for certain cities that were dealing with much more profound gun-violence problems than New York is," de Blasio said, pretending that the city he poorly runs has not been affected by a crime wave.

"We have a problem, Brian. I’m not trying to minimize it. We have a lot of work to do to turn around. But a number of other American cities unfortunately are going through much, much worse, and that’s where that money was targeted," de Blasio lied.

And speaking of money, we still don't know what happened to the $850 million his wife was given by the taxpayers to deal with the city's mental health issues. And if anything, the mental health of New Yorkers is in a down-spiral.

De Blasio blatantly Thursday claiming the Biden was mumbling about other cities, not New York, when he mentioned federal coronavirus funding could be used to pay for more police. In fact, a White House source who wishes to be anonymous based on the cancel culture mentality sweeping the nation, said that de Blasio was "incorrect," which is politispeak for "lying."

"Cities like New York that are experiencing a spike in gun violence as a result of the pandemic are eligible to use [the] money to hire additional police officers above a pre-pandemic baseline level to help address that," the anonymous source said.

But City Hall pointed to data that compared the number of shootings in the Big Apple to other major cities on a per-capita basis, which showed New York had the fewest number of shootings per 100,000 residents. So if New York had more shootings than another city, but the other city had fewer residents, that would be just super for de Blasio's way of thinking. What an idiot.

New York's data doesn't include annual rates of shooting increases. Its own figures show that shootings in New York are actually up 64.8 percent — more than any other city listed except for Baltimore, where gun violence has risen 84.2 percent. And based on City Hall's statistics, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, NJ, and Philadelphia have smaller increases than New York, proving once again that de Blasio is, if fact, an idiot.

New York City's budget of $98.7 billion for next year added $200 million to the NYPD budget after having slashed it $1 billion last year, but the new money will not be used for hiring more police.

Last week, Biden mush-mouthed that the billions of dollars handed out through his "American Rescue Plan" can be used by cities "experiencing an increase in gun violence … to hire police officers needed for community policing and to pay their overtime."

On Friday, comrade de Blasio said,  "Right now we have a police force of 35,000, I think that’s the right number, we need to take those officers and continue to apply a neighborhood policing approach, re-bond police and community."

"There were real challenges last year, we have to overcome them with more dialogue, more working together, more reliance on community based solutions to violence, I think we are hitting the right balance point."

And New Yorkers think you are unbalanced, Bill, and yes, many New Yorkers think you are an idiot, in case I forgot to mention it.

Crimes committed with guns across all five boroughs has soared over 40 percent thus far in 2021. They're shooting people in broad daylight in Times Square and the Bronx. Kids are being caught in the crossfire of gangs whose AR-15s are actually illegal handguns. And you refuse to hire more police in spite of having the money to do that. 

Perhaps you have more personal plans with the money, comrade.
