New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio has now announced the opening of four ‘galleries’ in the city which will allow drug addicts to legally shoot up.
As The New York Post reports:
With just four weeks left in office, Mayor Bill de Blasio is opening the country’s first supervised shooting galleries in Upper Manhattan — amid a spike in overdose deaths and disturbing scenes of junkies shooting up on public sidewalks.
“Overdose Prevention Centers are a safe and effective way to address the opioid crisis. I’m proud to show cities in this country that after decades of failure, a smarter approach is possible,” de Blasio said in a statement Tuesday.
…
The locations were chosen based on “health need and depth of program experience,” according to the Health Department. The sites will provide clean needles and social services, but users must bring their own drugs.
Last year, over 2,000 New Yorkers died of drug overdoses, the highest since the city started tracking the figures in 2000. The most common drug involved in the fatalities is opioids. Between January and March this year, another 596 people lost their lives due to addiction. A city Health Department study found that the sites could save up to 130 people a year.
De Blasio had attempted to open the galleries earlier, but was blocked from doing so by then President Donald Trump and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Keep on digging that hole, DiBlosio………you’re doin’ great
The minute he leaves office he should be arrested for his crimes against the people of New York city, including the deaths he caused, and the destruction of property he caused.
Instead of helping drug addicts to get out of that lifestyle, he makes their misery even deeper.
Who can even think of such lunacy?
democraps
Now he thinks he’ll be the next governor of NY. The man is an utter fool. Can’t wait for Adam’s to be sworn in to hopefully stop the insanity
This is compassionate? Obviously, the rate and number of deaths will rise. He must be so proud.
WOW, this is like assisted suicide. That is a crime as far as I know.
That’s what happens when your mayor is using drugs himself… He lacks moral values
If New York votes DiBlosio in for Governor, we then need to enforce their borders. We need to keep the stupid people inside and kick the state out of the union.
As long as we are expelling state from the Union, let’s not forget about Commniefornia.
The slowness of the Killing is obviously the problem
Yea let them shoot up over dose and die them some one will sue the city too bad all these crooks do not kill each other
More Proof that Democraps care more for Criminals than the Law abiding. This IDIOT is having ads made to get people to come visit New York City but not telling them the TRUTH about what they have to go through to be allowed to visit. The IDIOT of Alaska is doing the same. The only difference is that the Alaskan IDIOT tells you the vaccine is available if you want it. He omits the FACT that he said the unvaccinated are not welcome there.
DeBlasio is showing us what a complete disaster a Democrat has caused New York City to become. Crime is ramped, defund the police and BLM are key slogans and now the idiot wants to make it ok for drug addicts to shoot up. Maybe DeBlasio will go to one of his “shooting galleries” and show folks how it’s done, and maybe, just maybe, he’ll geta load of bad drugs and New York will have one less idiot politician to contend with. When will New Yorkers wake up? Time to get rid of the wasteful democrats, high taxes, government corruption, BLM idiology, crime and government freebees, both in nthe city and state. New york is such a waste now. I remember when it was a thriving inviting city. BUT LOOK AT IT NOW> Shameful.
HOPE HE JOINS THIS GROUP AND SHOOTS UP WITH THEM TO SHOW THEM HOW GREAT HE REALLY IS!
He is nothing but a deplorable racist stupid MF communist democrat
What an idiot! New York should cheer him stepping down as Mayor!!! Stopping the use of drugs,
period, is the only way to stop drug deaths.
How can de Blasio (really Warren Wilhelm Jr.) as lame duck mayor pull all these sick actions?
Bring back better opium dens back in circulation! Amazing,,,,,,oooooo!
And this is what you get when you start legalizing drug use, beginning with the friendly, happy, benign marijuana. Next they will provide the drugs also, so junkies will not have to rob and murder to afford them. Tell me, again, how this helps people straighten out and lead productive lives? Of course, after the final socialist/communist take over, maybe we will all prefer to stay stoned to death – but then all those legal drugs will not be available to anyone.
It’ll be legal to inject an addictive drug into their veins but then have babysitters to make sure they don’t overdose? Is this a forerunner to making such addictive drugs legal?
1: When you spot a Damnocrat digging himself into a hole, give him a new shovel with a longer handle. 2: There is no mention of him providing their drug of choice, which means they will still have to go out and rob and steal to obtain said drug. Taking away firearms from law abiding citizens will make it much easier for the aforementioned robbing and stealing to occur. Assuming that drug addicts vote and law abiding citizens do not, this is a Brilliant Strategy. Give him another shovel.
