A prison he has every intention of closing as soon as possible, which means transferring the convicts to neighborhood jails or freeing them into the streets of New York City. New Yorkers fume as Mamdani breaks Ramadan fast with Rikers inmates— but can’t be bothered to visit injured cops.
NY Post NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing furious backlash after breaking his Ramadan fast with Muslim jailbirds on notorious Rikers Island – and describing it one of his “most meaningful evenings” since taking office. “It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time,” the city’s first Muslim mayor gushed Friday on X about his under the radar and historic visit on Monday, which by Saturday sparked a firestorm of outrage.
Earlier in the week, the soft-on-crime socialist told NPR of his Rikers powwow: “This is one of the most meaningful evenings that I’ve had as the mayor of New York City.” “This is me just being a Muslim New Yorker,” continued Mamdani, who has made a point to emphasize and promote his Muslim identity as mayor.
“He actually visited inmates on Rikers but hasn’t visited any victims of the heinous crimes some of these guys have committed,” said an NYPD veteran of 20 years. “I think it’s absolutely disgusting.
“We clearly know he doesn’t like us. He’s already made his stance clear on that. Even after we get clear extensive video of the guy trying to knife the police officers in Queens, he visited the criminal’s family in that case too!,” raged the police veteran. He was referring to Mamdani last month visiting the family of Jabez Chakraborty, the man shot by a police officer in Queens as he attacked the cop and his partner with a 13-inch carving knife.
He can go visit the inmates at Rikers, but he can’t go visit a cop who gets injured? That’s not right,” said another law enforcement source, referring to cops hurt earlier this month responding to an ISIS-inspired attempted terrorist attack outside the mayor’s home at Gracie Mansion.
FOX News Social media erupted after Mamdani’s X post, with many critics questioning his decision to visit inmates at Rikers, which is notorious for its violent criminals.
Mystery novelist Daniel Friedman, who, according to his bio on Macmillan Publishers’ website, lives in New York City, noted, “You have to be an absolute monster to be sent to Rikers Island these days.” “Offenders on Rikers all have long histories of doing things so horrible that even the woke, pro-crime judges and prosecutors in NYC don’t want to be responsible for what they’ll do if they let them go,” Friedman added.
How I’d love to slap that possum-eating-shit grin off of his face.
It’s not as if he tried to hide the agenda that he’s implementing (I do believe that its supposed to be male). The people of NYNY voted for this. They were made aware of this well before the election(s)
I didn’t!
And, I didn’t vote for Barak Hussein Obimbo, but we got that vile creature anyway.
I know, the problem with living in a blue state.
