Cuomo declares NY state of emergency to address surge in gun violence.

[Catskillkid]

Anyone else wondering if he'll start moving violent felons into nursing homes?

Conceivably, he could move seniors into jails. They're empty after all.

 

[Acer-m14]

how can it be a state wide emergency when its only in a few select democratic controlled places .. you lying shit bag FUAC

i see no gun violence going on around in this county ..

 

[FP1201]

Cuomo: "first of-its-kind announcement, which comes with $139 million in state aid for the various initiatives"

So the initial reason is a money grab.


Cuomo: "the state will boost state police's efforts to fight illegal guns coming into New York in coordination with neighboring states, saying it will sign a bill into law that makes it easier to sue gun manufacturers."

I saw in a different article that he is going to create some kind of "Illegal Gun Council" (or some such stupid group who's sole aim is to crush the Rights of Americans)
So the second reason for his declaration is all out war against the Constitution. Disarmament, drive the gun manufacturers out of business, etc.

None of this is a shock to New Yorkers. We've known his royal highness, chief molester and old-person murderer, scum of the earth, the dishonorable governor Monkeyface Partytits, would do this. (man, his titles are really adding up!)


Can we arrest him now? Pretty please?

When you look at the Evidence Discovery requirements and time limits, it's easy to understand why there are fewer arrests and prosecutions:

Hey who knows... Maybe he will seize emergency powers by suspending the State CONSTITUTION the closer he gets to the election! Because you know the legislature can't be trusted to move fast enough and nobody but him knows what's good for the people of the State!

Going to see a lot more of this grandstanding bullshit the closer to the election he gets as well, especially when he sees that he isn't going to get re-elected!

Genuine Piece of Shit, that's for sure!

The more they get away with the more they will want.

I don't think we're too many years from FUAC declaring that his horse is president of the state senate....



Caligula managed to pull it off, but I'm not sure if FUAC is half the leader he was...

 

[Grimscale]

Starting to think I may have a boating accident coming up this weekend.

You're going to "accidentally" throw FUAC in the river?

Please record it. I'll pay to watch that!

NY Take Action: Gov. Cuomo declares bogus "disaster emergency" to allow him to rule by decree again
Yesterday, just 12 days after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ended his disastrous Covid State of Emergency, he declared yet another "disaster emergency," this time in response to the increase in gun violence during his previous "emergency." This is an outrageous abuse of power that he is clearly using to circumvent the legislature, and other types of oversight required by Constitutional government.
"Emergencies" are a favored tool around the world and throughout history for political leaders with dictatorial aspirations. Clearly, Cuomo likes "emergencies." They allow him to rule by decree, they allow him to disregard any law he wants to, he is freed from bothersome shackles on his rule like the legislature, democratic procedure, and the New York and United States Constitutions, and the Bill of Rights.
Cuomo has designated the Department of Health under Howard Zucker, the same people who brought us the policy of placing people with active Covid cases into nursing homes and then covering up the death toll for months, those folks will be in charge of this new effort. After giving New York the second highest Covid death rate among the states, they are the obvious choice.
Please click here Take Action to send messages to the Governor, Senate Majority leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, Speaker Carl Heastie, and your own State Senator and Assemblymember demanding the revocation of this bogus "emergency."
Please contact the following lawmakers and tell them that this bogus "emergency" must stop now. Please leave comments on their social media.

Cuomo also announced a laundry list of minor proposals to address the upsurge in shootings, the most important of which is the creation of a $138 million slush fund he can use as he wants.
But what's next? In a state of emergency he can do anything.

Gun violence?

GUN VIOLENCE?

Last month they were dieing of COVID.

 

[Stuckinny]

I am sure that those in Warren, Hamilton, Schuyler, Washington and other counties with 2 or less homicides in 2020 appreciate that they are under a state of emergency. Guess a county wide state of emergency does not help Coumo though.

Allows him to get his dick beaters into $139 million in funds.
Pass executive orders (essentially assassination contracts) on political opponents and those refusing to do things his way.
Can't hold him "accountable" as we are under a State of Emergency....read through it sometime, digest what it means and what CAN happen that you can't do a fucking thing about.
BTW: The Murder rate to date is under previous yearly averages, now Chicago; that's another show.

 

[Grimscale]

What gets me is that the Republican politicians are buying into Cuomo's bullshit message even while trying to show they are opposite of him.

Here is an email I received from Robert Ortt. Normally I feel Ortt has a solid head on his shoulders. But the beginning of this email sounds like he actually supports the bullshit Monkeyface Partytits is peddling.



Dear friend,

New York State is facing a crisis.

Violent crime is on the rise, and gun violence is up as much as 75 percent in some cities across our state. And while earlier this week, Gov. Cuomo declared a state of emergency to deal with this surge in violence, he did so with political grandstanding and misguided solutions.

Instead of focusing on empowering our law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges with the ability to carry out their duties to the fullest extent, Gov. Cuomo decided to scapegoat gun manufacturers and ignore the true causes of this new crisis - an anti-police agenda and disastrous criminal justice reforms.

Over the last three years, Albany progressives have chipped away at our law enforcement and court system's ability to protect our communities. They have undercut public confidence in our first responders, pushed "Defund the Police" campaigns, and they have chosen to place the priorities of violent criminals ahead of law-abiding citizens.

All of these actions have culminated into a more dangerous and less safe New York State. No amount of grandstanding will change the fact that Gov. Cuomo and his Albany allies created this crisis.

We must return to a time of law and order, where criminals are punished, not empowered. We must allow the brave men and women of law enforcement to do their jobs in the communities they have sworn to protect. It's time to revisit Albany progressives' criminal justice reforms before it is too late.



Your Senator,

Robert G. Ortt

 

[Bigfoot]

Bail reform... Duh
Defund the police... Duh
Democrat leadership... Duh
Surge in violence in the cities... Duh

Never let a self made crises go to waste.
It's so fucking obvious.

The Ortt mailing forwarded to me (via John Faso) was quite a bit different. It included a fund raising element but I'm likely on a list since I supported a number of pro-2A State Senators including a few touted on this forum.

Re: Cuomo’s Renewed Attack on Second Amendment

Dear Steal2B,

It’s classic Cuomo.

Crime’s through the roof. His policies caused it, so now he’s blaming gun owners.

If you’re sick of Cuomo’s charade please read on.

New York once led the nation in crime-fighting. We gave cops the tools they needed to keep our families safe. Then came Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Out went broken-window policing; out went stop-and-frisk; out went cash bail. Police budgets got slashed and rank-and-file police officers learned they were on their own if anything went wrong out there. So they stopped arresting people.

It was as though Cuomo and de Blasio had forgotten all the hard lessons we learned about crime in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Predictably, shootings and homicides are now up all over the state, and there’s a sense of lawlessness on the streets again. Every day we learn about new random attacks on innocent New Yorkers. We watch CCTV footage and recoil in horror. What is happening to our state?

The answer is obvious. We have a leadership problem, but Cuomo and de Blasio have found a scapegoat. It’s legal gun owners — not the criminals they put back on the street time and time again.

Governor Cuomo declared Tuesday, in typical theatrical fashion, a “Disaster Emergency” in New York. It’s guns, he says, that are the problem, not the people who use them to commit crimes. Grip the Second Amendment tightly because Cuomo’s coming after it again, just as he did with the disastrous Safe Act.

There’s only one way we can stop this descent into violence and tyranny. We must regain a Republican majority in the New York State Senate. Only then can we stop the political assault on legal gun owners; only then can we return to law enforcement officials the tools and confidence they need to get predators off our streets.



By chipping in towards my effort to regain a Senate Republican majority in Albany, you’ll be doing your part to protect the Second Amendment and restore a sense of stability in our communities.

Can I count on you?

Thank you in advance for your confidence and patriotism. Together, we will get this done.

Sincerely,

Robert G. Ortt
New York State Senate Republican Leader

Well what has happened was the bullets were contaminated with Covid and transferred the virus to the individual when they were struck.

The stress of the pandemic led the poor misunderstood yoot that was about to turn his life around into the car with his buddies.

Then the the guns lept into their hands and forced them to unload them into the 7-11.

It can't possibly be the yoot who pulled the trigger's fault, it's racist to even suggest it.

 

[Acer-m14]

did anyone ask her whos guns ... .. ahhh so your not going after the criminals with guns ..

 

[jimc]

“It’s personal,” said Hochul as she announced in her hometown that crime would be addressed similar to that of #COVID across the state.

I don't see how killing more senior citizens is going to stop 'gun violence'.

My guns have as much to do with crime as new taxes have to do with the climate.
