Homeless launch Twitter war against de Blasio
“I’d say he should do more for homelessness on the streets instead of sending the police to harass me”, said one of the protesters, who goes by the name of Romeo K.
Spencer Platt/Getty Images ‘Here’s how ignorant Mayor de Blasio is… people who are in shelters, I would like to inform the mayor, are not homeless, ‘ said Rudy Giuliani in an interview.
“America’s Mayor” penned an op-ed in the New York Post that slammed de Blasio’s handling of the crisis. The quotation has been passed around lately in response to the refugee crisis in Europe, but it has a domestic application here, too, in regards to New York City’s ballooning homeless population.
“Here is how ignorant Mayor de Blasio is”.
Avella said he was most concerned with the trend where temporary shelters are converted into permanent ones and called for new leadership at the city’s Department of Homeless Services.
According to that data, the number of people in shelters grew by 32 percent between January 1994, Giuliani’s first month in office, and January 2002, his successor Michael Bloomberg’s first month in office. You know what the 32 percent is? More than 60,000 people now sleep in shelters, a record high-and that doesn’t account for those living on the streets.
“That 40 percent he quoted incorrectly – the shelters went up”.
It all depends on what you mean by “homeless”. “Within ten days he hit them back so hard in Afghanistan and kept them exhausted up so for long that they couldn’t make more plans to come and kill us but since we have backed off and taken our troops out of Iraq-drew a red line in the sand and then did nothing about it, I think they once again believe we are a country-that can be taken advantage of”. A homeless man was caught urinating in front of Giuliani’s home in Manhattan.
“We thought of, I think, every scenario possible, but not airplanes being used as missiles, crashing into our buildings”, said Giuliani.
