Looks like that Fucking coward Andrew Cuomo is the one who wont be able to walk on the NYC Streets for much longer, and not Trump like he so bluntly warned him… New Yorkers angry with their state and local leadership painted âFâ- Cuomo and de Blasioâ on a Brooklyn street over the weekend to show their disdain for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The group that painted the words were part of an annual block party that also designated themselves as a âsmall business owner protest.â
âA few partygoers got the idea to paint in huge [letters, using] yellow paint with rollers âFâk Cuomo and de Blasio,ââ DAMN RIGHT! âThe party continued. Everyone took photos. âIt was a big hit. The crowds cheered, even the cops chuckled.â I wish I had been there myself… Sadly one of the many things in life I wasn’t there for but happy to see others do… But sadly the statement was short-lived and erased from the street by the City, according to reports.
Our city isnât just painting the words on Fifth Avenue. Weâre committed to the meaning of the message. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/VE6MT80qDI

âA few partygoers got the idea to paint in huge [letters, using] yellow paint with rollers on North 15th, âFâk Cuomo and de Blasio,’â the attendee said Sunday, refusing to be identified by name. âThe party continued. Everyone took photos. âIt was a big hit. The crowds cheered, even the cops chuckled.â
But word made it back to city officials, who evidently didnât share the assessment. Bucking widely held notions about municipal inefficiency, workers from the city Department of Transportation descended on the display less than 24 hours later around 10 p.m. Saturday to cover up the message with black, according to the attendee.
âThey told the partygoers it came from up top and they were told the sign said âFâk the police,’â the attendee said, though it was unclear whether the workers meant that the order came from top DOT officials or City Hall. The all-caps, block-length message was in the style of city-sanctioned projects reading âBlack Lives Matterâ that sprang up during the summerâs fierce protests over police bias and racial injustice including one outside Manhattanâs Trump Tower, which has become a vandalism magnet. Even while personally helping plaster that message on public property, de Blasio has nixed efforts to paint a similar display reading âBlue Lives Matterâ in support of cops, leading two pro-police groups to take him to court.
City business owners big and small have railed against elected officialsâ handling of the coronavirus crisis and its resulting economic fallout. The DOT and City Hall didnât immediately respond to requests for comment. The NYPD confirmed that a criminal mischief complaint had been filed over the incident and that an investigation is ongoing, but did not comment on the claim that cops laughed at the vandalism while doing nothing to stop it.
