“We’re not going to tolerate people starting to congregate. It’s as simple as that,” NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “If we have to shut places down, we will.”

on live TV as he announced all people experiencing flu-like symptoms are now eligible for testing.

City bars and restaurants have been restricted to takeout and delivery since mid-March, when coronavirus cases started to soar, but some in Manhattan were allowing people to dine and drink inside on Saturday. As the weather heats up, though, more and more New Yorkers are flocking to public spaces and familiar haunts for a sense of normalcy after spending most of the last two months cooped up inside — and not always policing themselves.

The city's beaches could be closed off completely to public access if people don't follow social distancing rules, he said. Fences being installed at entrances could be rolled out if beaches — meant now only for nearby residents to exercise — get overcrowded or people violate swimming bans, he said.

What a scumbag this mayor

Maybe he should worry about his near bankrupt city!

Screw him

There’s a lot of covidiots in the world. It is sending every country into recession and protesting isn’t going to win over common sense.

The mayor of New York does not understand it is not up to him to decide when this crap is over it is up to the people. The people are deciding right now whether he likes it or not

Unless they are smokin' hot ladies! Am I right cisgender guys? COVIDIDIOTS

Remember: this takes consent of the governed. Americans can revoke that consent at any time.

Can we take this energy in to less brown communities too cuz there shouldn’t be a massive disparity in enforcement in an extremely mixed city.

People are going to congregate. No question. People have no discipline

I wish someone would shut the mayoral office down.

The people will shut BilldeBlasio down. He can’t jail everyone!

Sieg Heil NYCMayor

What is wrong with NYC voting in this DB pos!

It’s like he’s trying his hardest to turn NY red

He’s such a jerk.

Fuck him

' Quote ' There's nothing that can't be cured by the power of a man's penis. D trump.

They can't arrest everyone

You foolish communist, you don’t have the ability to stop it!

he has forgotten they all have there constitutional rights and now Barr has a hotline to turn in governors for violating there civil rights, There is no law that says people can not get together, Prosecutors are ready

New York patriots rise up and defeat this tyranny

Funny how some smucks post death totals. The same ppl who dont trust the govt ha ha ha . Complete fn idiots . .

Maybe BilldeBlasio should reconsider this... Hey remember when the Puerto Ricans found the warehouse with supplies after Mayor and Governor lied about POTUS sending aid ?¿? realDonaldTrump

It’s the nature of the beast, you knew it was going to happen, yet you lifted restrictions anyway.

Social distancing isn't hard

He is doing a great job helping the re-election of Trump. What and idiot

Tyranny at its best not for long POS

They are standing 6 feet apart!

Tyranny

Bill Duh-Blasio

Can't wait for Mayor election so people can express tolerance for new administration.

Congregate ... isn’t that just another word for “assemble” I’m no scholar but I’m pretty sure that word, assemble is actually in the constitution 🤔

Yet he keeps the subway open. This man is a moron.

Bill de Blasio (born Warren Wilhelm Jr) doesn't get a say. He has repeatedly shown 'poor judgement' in giving his wife a BILLION to waste.

🤡🤡🤡

Straight out of Mussolini's memoirs. This is Fascism brought to America courtesy of the Democrats.

And they say TRUMP is the dictator. 😂😂😂 The Alinski rule that democrats always follow is to always accuse the innocent enemy of what you yourself are guilty of. Democrats are the party of manipulation.

Tolerate? Exercising a constitutional right? Hm.

NYC needs a new major how did this guy get elected.

Seems the mayor forgot where his “power” comes from

It's too bad he thinks people are still listening

People control

New York had a chance to lead by example and blew it. This virus is not going to go away without discipline.Fundummies

How can we shut you down Bill?

Dudes going to lose control with the continued threats.

Why did Bill change his name twice?

Lock em up

DespotLife

Some how the keep surprising me with their overreach

Intolerant liberal making threats 🤔

KennethHowardC3 The scumbags have renamed human rights as 'selfishness' and the sheeple agree

Insanity.

first of all the restrictions shouldn't even be lifted. bc this virus is still unstable and we are still learning about it.

People dont give a f. Sad

TRUMPGATE2020😡

Sounds like Syria

Fascist NY Mayor, DeBlabio, seems not to understand that he works for the people, not the other way around. If DeBlabio keeps up his arrogant police-state attitude, he’s going to learn just how much the Real Americans of NYC are no longer willing to tolerate him.

If the best this country can do is put hands on ppl & defy guidelines that aren't even difficult, then you already know what's coming in Fall. The narcissists are having the hardest time in this.

Fascist NYCMayor needs to resign. Ignore him.

Good thing we're the land of the free and home of the brave.... or something like that...

But what changed his mind? He told NYkers to goout and party when realDonaldTrump cautioned them about Chinese Corona Virus? Back and forth flip flop their own position? isn’t that a typical Liberal mentality? NYCMayor

Travel insurance should ask anyone travelling America the colour red or blue. Big risk factor at the moment, the country is so divided.

Its not science.... 😉👍

Wilhelm taking a hardline with the jews...uh..I mean people of NY.

'The main thing here is that the recession lasts until November, at least.'

That’s it. You go get them. Take away their freedoms. It’s the Democratic way. He sounds just like GovernorTomWolf

In America I should be able to do whatever I want. My freedoms can infringe on others but they cant infringe on me!!!!!!!!!!!
