As Twitchy reported Monday morning, Mayor Bill de Blasio had the gates at the biggest park in Brooklyn’s Jewish community welded shut to enforce his orders on social distancing — never mind that just a day before thousands had gathered for a Black Trans Lives Matter rally in front of the Brooklyn Museum.
Bill de Blasio is responding to the mass protest in Brooklyn yesterday by welding the gates shut at the biggest park in the Jewish community of Borough Park, Brooklyn.

The Jewish community, threatened with arrests for holding a funeral service, hasn’t been very receptive to de Blasio’s COVID-19 lockdown orders, and later Monday, Jewish community leaders reopened the park with some bolt cutters.

If you can protest in parks, kids should be able to play in parks. Mazel Tov

Karen and her husband, also named Karen, aren’t wearing masks:
Things getting heated in #Williamsburg #Brooklyn when local resident furious that lock to park was broken to allow children to play. Thousands protest each day with approval of @NYCMayor, but 100 children can't play in a park. pic.twitter.com/yNMxpZfG75

Suddenly destruction of property is frowned upon in NYC?

They’ll be less upset with the lawyers who were firebombing NYPD vehicles during the George Floyd protests.
If they call themselves protestors, they won’t face charges.

Arrest those criminals for breaking & entering

Who’s going to come and arrest them? What, suddenly we don’t want to defund and abolish the police?
These white leftists are fully aware the virus isn't a threat to most people.
They just want the masks and lockdown forever.

Wrong they only want masks and lockdown until November 3, 2020

Once again, no one seemed to have a problem with this:
