Hahaha how did that crack down work for yah???
a week later still no change and that idiot brooklyn bro president talking about oh well have people from the communities talk to people yea that last person who confronted people throwing fire works got into a stabbing parade your a freaking moron
Look who is taking … you probably live 100 miles away .. bring your family here to join us .. I have no clue how people can vote for such a "great" mayor ..
this is a free dislike video and I agree
be respectful..
This guy is a clown, after he already said he's gonna cut funding to the police, the cops dead be just sitting there in their car like "F*ck that, I don't get paid enough for this"
Your a baby
No worries people he is going to arrest people with fireworks, while 21 people have been shot in 24 hours.
You need to resign. NYC is out of control because of your incompetence.
we need to do something about the fireworks, but this man makes no sense
What a clown. Vote Republican, what do you have to lose. If not RIP NYC. Sorry, but I lived there for 21 years and the only time NYC was peaceful was when we had republican mayors. Thank God I left before a Democrat took over. Cops, you know what to do, get the blue flu. COPS ARE HEROES.
I need to go to my local Tennessee fireworks stand, Invest, then head up to the NYC Marketplace!
CUZ THEYRE ILLEGAL THERE. We don’t have these issues “Down South” cuz they’re Legal and No Big Deal. Go home Yankees. “The War on FIREWORKS!”
Young People??? WTF DiBlasio???
NY is right up there with California as the worst state in the union. Fck NYC and their incompetent mayor.
I don't even know what ya'll talking about up in here…I'm hunting me some racism and privilege. Where is it at?
Hey NY if this doesn't prove Democrats just don't get it then you deserve everything they do to you so may I suggest you buy plenty of KY jelly and just assume your position! Disbands 600 plus undercover officers to build a new fireworks team? I'd most definitely say you New Yorkers are screwed!
Hahahahahah new yorkers elect garbage every time. AOC is the best example hahahahahhhahsha
Hold up if it’s not new then why are you addressing it at this time like tf
Someone needs to stick a sparkler up Blasio’s nether regions.
Don’t they have bigger things to worry about the fucking fireworks
What about George Soros behind this?
Good News!
I hope our governor and mayor's act on this!
We also have a major metro (Mpls/St. Paul) an hour or something away from another state. There are counties in WI which might have more sales in fireworks, alcohol and cigarettes than anything else.
Those giant fireworks stores are profiting from untrained people using dangerous explosive devices. We pay for the extra fire-fighters, hospitalizations and permanent disabilities.
China also profits by manufacturing fireworks and producing the toxic heavy metal salts and percolate. The stuff ends up poisoning our soil and water, sickening little kids, anyone with respiratory disease, and anyone who swims or eats fish in the area.
The fireworks and bombs often hurt my ears. I can't imagine the terror and misery dogs must feel.
Every day I hear many hundreds of explosions, even with all windows closed and the TV on.
I know people are bored, frustrated, and angry. But disrupting people's sleep will make EVERYONE more irritable and weaken our immune systems.
I wonder also how folks in my low income neighborhood can afford professional-grade fireworks and illegal explosives. I also wonder if some of these have been brought to our city by white supremacists who are looking forward to a race war or 2nd civil war.
Talk about someone needing mental help , maybe he's got to find the 885 million his wife was in charge of stole and get the help he needs. Looting , rioting , killings are not a major concern for this mental midget . God help us all with this idiot they call Mayor , fireworks a felony and killing a desk appearance ticket. This democratic party is all the same , pure stupidity and brain dead .People this isn't just NYC , just look around to other democrat states and see them falling apart.
De-fund
Many people don't realize, but fireworks actually act as miniature bombs. If one detonates right next to you, limbs are gonna come off. Even the tiny ones will leave you with 3rd degree burns if you get too close. Shrapnel flies everywhere. They are especially dangerous if used improperly. I don't recommend lighting them in the middle of a major city if you are untrained.
What’s he gonna do about it?
can someone please get this incompetent imbacel outta here like NOW!!!
Got to love Democrat’s priority’s
Next time maybe they should vote for your wife!😂
Only mayor in the country who's wife has clout!😂
"…and the rockets red glarrrrre…"
Just make the fireworks legal then, other states have done so with no problem. Their being sold across the border by legal companies.
"Fireworks task Force?" Omfg this is classic
What a douche
#PYROISNOTACRIME
You have more problems than fireworks at this point. Jesus Christ, New York. With that many people, you couldn’t find someone better than this?
Cuomo is the supplier
Yeah he can send his team of police officers who hate his guts to go and roust all the people with fireworks having fun in between looting. Or probably nothing's going to happen and the force is going to walk off because they hate him
Thanks daddy! What would we do without you?
Rediculous.
That's the problem in ny, fireworks…….what a df
Erm just say it. Fireworks are being used to turn a protest into a riot and to start arson fires. It ain’t the dad or kids using the in the back yard. Something was coming or still is.
People getting robbed on the streets of NYC and he worries about fireworks, this guy is no good for anything.
