Why is every asshole an expert on what NYC needs?
Why is every asshole an expert on what NYC needs?
Because when something bad happens in NYC..... Republicans start talking.
Thanks, Kennedy. If only you had been there to tell security they needed to frisk him to prevent this from happening. 🙄
Stop and frisk: neither “perfectly legal” nor at all effective for actual law enforcement purposes.
Yeah because what if that guy had also had some weed?
It’s always more of the same racist, draconian shit with these fuckin guys.
Booger, speaking out of turn again.
Kennedy wont admit its NRA and 2 nd amendment problems
Why of course. Stop and frisk is just the solution for a terrorist striding through a busy city with a long gun you pus-filled carbuncle.
Ummmm....dude had an assault rifle---stop and frisk ain't helping with that.
Stop and frisk the guy openly carrying an AR-15. How about just stopping him?
Hey! It's freeze frame!
The scotus' said you better have solid proof of suspicion of a crime or you violate their rights.
The 4th amendment says it isn't old lady!
Excuse me sir, would you please drop the rifle for a moment so I can frisk you?
The absolute worst mass shootings have taken place in red states Uvalde Parkland to name just 2 and they never say anything but thoughts and prayers. Foghorn Leghorn can go fuck himself.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Yes, by all means, frisk this man. It’s the only way you’ll discover he’s carrying a goddamn rifle.
lmao he's got a one point combat sling on it. what the fuck else was he gonna do besides start shooting up the place?
Lots of deer in Central Park, I guess.
Sometimes that other Kennedy drops off a dead bear, too.
Maybe he started out as a good guy with a gun but encountered a bad bear in the park with a gun. Some kind of vigilante shit going on.
He may have been thinking of helping RFK Jr to kill more.
The bear or the good guy not good guy with a gun. I can see both seeking vigilante justice on RFKjr or for.
No, he wants to frisk dark people, not this darling NRA white guy😬
That guy is black. Sorry. I mean, I wanted to say the same thing, but he’s not white.
Ok, that definitely explains the senator's train of thought. We know he has a gun, he needs to be frisked regardless 😬
Yuppers.
Law enforcement flummoxed by the fact he didn't take the subway
Hmmm 9 of the 10 states are, let’s see, what do they have in common?!? Can’t put my blue finger on it.
Guy had an AK-47 asshat
Correction M-4 rifle hi capacity mags
he had a very visible long gun, Foghorn
Has he seen the picture of the killer. He walked across a plaza carrying that weapon like he was at Walmart in Louisiana. I don’t think stop and frisk would have made a f*cking difference!
NY doesn’t need any advice from this Louisiana fried chicken Trump ass kisser.
Again don’t listen to the mentally incompetent When this clown opens mouth both feet and the Orange Dope’s wee wee ends up in it
lol why is he such a stereotypical stupid hillbilly, america has such a diverse selection of idiots europe cant compete
This guy is insane.
No one cares about his opinion
Why they have the Senator whose state has more gun deaths than NY, but with 1/5th the population, is beyond me.
why is a louisiana senator flapping his gums here?
Having a gunman walk down the street OPENLY carrying a rifle has nothing at all to do with stop & frisk Damn, common sense dictates that any LEO seeing him would have confronted him, but then again that southern Sen is absofuckingllutely clueless They all need to stay out of NYC politics
Mind your own beeswax Senator. cc @schumer.senate.gov
Why should anyone give a fuck what this racist-ass senator from Louisiana (which has one of the worst murder rates in the country) has to say about NY?
Excuse me. He is not FROM Louisiana. He was born in Mississippi. It's just that now he (regrettably) represents Louisiana in the Senate.
I mean I can see the rifle from here, it’s not like he’s hiding it.
What's this "we" bullshit he is spewing.
Talking out of a certain orifice where the sun doesn’t shine… How about just keeping assault rifles away from the streets? You know - like everywhere else on the planet with common sense?
Fuck off you creepy little troll! Keep the name of our city out your fuckin’ mouth!!!
The guy was openly brandishing an M4. WTF are you even talking about?
Shut the fuck up, Kennedy He killed a cop easily. Maybe you should try to stop and frisk an armed man bent on killing.
Yeah you really need to frisk someone openly carrying an AR15.
Stop and frisk? For the guy openly carrying a huge assault rifle down the street? What the fuck are you frisking for? A fucking 1/8 of weed?? How about we make it illegal to walk around with assault rifles and other weapons of war? Dumb fuck... 😒
Not to nitpick, but it is, in fact, illegal to walk around with an AR-15 in NYC.
Fair enough. Think anyone would need to have frisked him to find it? And thank God at least some parts of the country have reasonable limits in place.
meh, you're going to have a hard time finding a gun law that isn't rooted in racism and/or classism, and given the current state of things, the likelihood that everything is going to be just fine with conservatives being the only group embracing gun ownership is pretty low.
Stop and Frisk? Did he fucken see the size of the weapon? Conservatives would do anything including harass minorities except support gun control.
To Manu Raju, Senator Kennedy played dumb yacking as if Ghislane Maxwell wasn't Epstein's main accomplice and groomer. What a stooge. (Forbes YouTube)
Kennedy represents Mississippi. How many Mississippians would be ok with "aggressive" stop and frisk? How many would be firearm free? Almost 100% definitely fewer than NY, that's for sure.
He represents people from Louisiana. It doesn't make your point less true, but he's one state over.
Thank you! Accuracy matters! Even if I make mistakes juggling things I'm sure most people on here can appreciate. 😂 IOW, I may post distracted!
I love how every Republican has something to say about something happening in NY, yet, fail to do anything about their own state that has higher murder per capita than NY
'Stop and frisk', because you never know what he might have been hiding up his sleeve, right? Makes perfect sense.
👀
“stop and frisk” is code word for “he ‘looks’ like a criminal to ME” Foghorn and his Republican fascists like the idea of making racism easier
Dude’s carrying right out in the open. How’s that going to help? Cops, it seems, only stop and frisk when they’re pretty sure the victim isn’t packing. 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly. When they know the person has a gun they run like the bitches they are.
I see you work as law enforcement.
I see you dabble in dumb fuckery
obvious follow-up question: so Senator is it your position that an american carrying a rifle which is a perfectly legal exercise of one’s 2nd amendment constitutional right should be subject to heightened police scrutiny?
What a damn M0R0N
This asshole can keep the words 'New York' out of his mouth.
If we don't harass minorities how can we know who might possibly be carrying a giant fuck off rifle with them?
Louisiana homicide rate is 22.2 per 100,000; that's nearly 4 times New York City's 5.3 per 100,000. Kennedy needs to stop having sex with livestock.
How did that work out 🙄 Ghouliani still yaps about his bygone days of being Mayor 😳 Why doesn't Kennedy stick to his own Redneck State dysfunction of which he's been in Lousiana politics since 2000 as Treasurer then US Senator About these political tactics hes been part of the problem for 25yrs🤔
Look to your own backyard! “Louisiana's crime rate is significantly higher than the national average, with both violent and property crime rates exceeding the U.S. norm. In 2023, Louisiana's violent crime rate was 46.4% higher, and its property crime rate was 37.2% higher than the 50-state average”
collective punishment is considered a somethingsomething...
Always good to ask the Senator of Louisiana for his thoughts on how to run NYC. I don’t remember having Schumer on talking about the mass casualty event on bourbon street
Frisk? Thanks to the Republican NRA, white guys waltz around with ARs ffs.
FOH, Kennedy! Stop & Frisk for a man blatantly walking around w/ a big assault rifle? Take your fake-ass accent and go worry about your constituents who you doomed to death signing onto that Big Ugly Bill 😒 Also, stop protecting pedos & release all the Epstein files!
He found his dentures.
Louisiana residents are going to have to face the issue whether they want a senator who has their best interests in mind or a senator who backs and enriches a convicted felon.
Everything is the 80's with these guys!
Tell Gomer Pyle to fuck off 🖕 N.Y style
Do we hear these suggestions when a shooting occurs in a red state/city?
Go away, putty-face.
Fucking asshole doesn't realize long guns don't need "stop and frisk" police policies. And it is not legal
How about we address the mental health problem in this country? And the gun problem?
Fake accent racists gonna racist.
Pew Boy Samich
Word.
So stop and frisk would have stopped the man with a long ass gun? Idiot
Can you show his same response to the recent Walmart stabbing ?????
He sees the picture right?
To this feckless, folksy fascist fucker from Louisiana saying “we” should bring back “stop and frisk”: this New York City police tactic that was found to be unconstitutional as it violates the 4th Amendment prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures. All your legal experience and no sense.
So no 2A rights anymore? Okay.
bsky.app/profile/rich...
Who gives a shit what Foghorn Leghorn has to say about NYC?
Stop & Frisk will not stop a person carrying an M4 military style rifle, nor will a "good guy" with a gun. Outlawimg assault rifles and background checks across all states will go a long way in effectively reducing these events.
The guy was carrying a long gun and shot the first police that tried to "stop & frisk" him. How would that work? We're gonna have to erase the Kennedy name from our lexicon because of this idiot and RFK's dipshit kid.
…these fucking Republican jackasses make it so any lunatic can walk around with war weapons, and then they try to act like something went wrong when their policies inevitably lead to shootings…
…looks like a talking blob of mashed potatoes…
I believe this is a bad legal take.
Yeah, how could we have known he had a gun? /s
Someone needs to do a background check on Kennedy and an audit.
First of all, no. Second of all, also no. Thirdly, you can't fuck up your society and your environment and then expect law enforcement to fix it. And in conclusion, racism is a cause, not the solution, to the problem.
Why is dumbass, fauz Jim Bob cracker being asked about this. Just ask him about when is the Senate gonna back releasing the Epstein files.
We can't fix anything because Republicans like him won't let us. 🤷♂️ From Universal Healthcare to gun control nothing get better because of them.
Why is this piece of shit man so fucking dumb?
I’m learning to hate our country and people like him are mostly to blame.
Let's face the issue that America should get rid of the guns
Lolz. Because stop & frisk is the only way you could have found out that this man was carrying a large gun. In his hand. Old foghorn leghorn outdid himself on this one.
Any excuse to bring back stop and frisk with these people
Dude came from Nevada, not NY.
What an absolute buffoon
Or maybe we just need someone to call 911 to report a guy walking in Manhattan carrying an assault rifle?
They did.
Good.
: )
He drove from Vegas and double parked outside the building. There was a police officer in the lobby. Stop and frisk is irrelevant here. Sen. Kennedy should worry about Louisiana.
Racist Kennedy doesn't even live here F that clown and the whole GOP who refuse to have COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS stop and frisk is for racist twats
New York City murder rate 5.3 per 100,000. Louisiana murder rate 14.5 per 100,000. Go frisk yourself Senator Leghorn.
Leghorn Foghorn…
Foghorn Fake Hillbilly.
You can’t take our guns. Unless you temporarily detain us on the street and touch us all over. Then it’s perfectly legal to take our guns.
Racist to the core
This dude talks pure shit 24/7.
Did he just have a stroke on live tv the other day, or am I mixing him up with someone else??
That's the guy. 😳
One of the guys.
Right. Mitch McConnell a while back. youtu.be/4Zlylkl1v5o
Chip malfunction 🤔😉
He means if you go back to putting more black and brown folks in jail, you will have fewer shooters.
What about his shithole state that has a higher crime rate?
Asking for a civil war to declare Marshall law to avoid Epstein. Stay the course!
Another GOP hypocrite. Sen. Kennedy's home state of Louisiana has one of the highest murdere rates in the country.
I have a personal connection to this building and Kennedy's comments are deeply offensive and utterly useless. But then what do you expect from yet another ignorant fucking southern cracker.
Counterpoint: gun control
You are safer from gun violence in NY than LA. It is way past time for blue state politicians to start telling the truth about red states the way the red state politicians have been lying about blue cities/states.
Maybe explain to them that we, NY tax payers pay red States because they don’t collect enough…
Red state Republicans will never believe it. That is why the next Democratic administration and Congress needs to defund red/rural areas the way Trump and his co-conspirators have defunded liberal priorities. Force red states to pay their own way or go bankrupt. It's the only way to wake them up.
Would be great if us Democrats wouldn’t be so weak and scared…
100%
Hey Foghorn Leghorn, mind your business and don't worry about NYC.
How is the murder rate in Louisiana? Oh, I just checked. The only state with a higher murder rate than Louisiana is Mississippi. Maybe Senator Kennedy should focus his efforts on the safety of residents of the state he represents. Just an idea. www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressro...
Has Senator Foghorn Leghorn looked recently at the level of firearm deaths in his own state, compared to New York? In 2023, it was about six times greater per 100,000 residents in Louisiana than it was in New York. But why let facts get in the way?
Conservative brainrot is thinking the solution is authoritarianism.
So would he have said the same thing if the person was say...white?
Maybe he needs to STFU and fix his own state? www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/2...
This scumbag
Yes, this guy was able to sneak in that rifle he was carrying around openly in his hand because he couldn’t be stopped and frisked. Clearly that was the problem.
“Stop and frisk” huh? ….he was walking in public with a huge ass gun…
LA has a higher murder rate than NYC, senator.
“We”? lol. How about the senator from the state with the second highest gun violence rate in the country deals with his own shit first.
Quagmire Kennedy, sit yo Glitch Remix A down‼️
Would they ask him to put his assault rifle on the ground before frisking him?
Exactly
Someone should stop and frisk Kennedy!
They won’t find any sense, that’s for sure.
I guess that glitchy confederate douchebag upgraded his software. He seemed almost normal.
🏆Evergreen post
Yeah, because what New York City needs is Foghorn Leghorn and his dumb opinions. Shut up, Kennedy, no one here wants you.
Maybe congress might want to look at gun control. Kennedy just likes to make a headline but really has nothing to say.
Someone from a high crime state like Louisiana like Kennedy has no business lecturing New York, which is a low crime state on how to reduce crime What’s wrong with the culture of violence in your state Kennedy? Why aren’t you taking action to clean up your own backyard?
This is literally the first mass shootinf in NYC in, ummm ever? While Louisiana has how many shooting deaths? Way more than NYC for sure
You can’t just stop and frisk a car driving into the city from Nevada. Get real.
Maybe everywhere Kennedy goes for the rest of his life he should be stopped and frisked
That guy had a rifle. No frisking needed.
He means masked DHS agents and the military btw
Yes Mr. Kennedy, please tell us how anyone missed the f-ing assault rifle he was carrying like a missile launcher? You don’t need to stop or frisk to see that guns are the problem. F you Kennedy.
Or…. better gun laws.
Okay, if you need to stop and frisk to find an assault rifle, like, what are you doing with your life? Those are not small weapons. Like, I don't think stop and frisk would have prevented this. But who needs logic when advocating for a more repressive police state?
OR we implement stringent background checks, restrict high power assault rifles. They all have blood on their hands and should be brought to justice.
It was never about 2A ... it was justification for electing a racist convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and billionaires.
We? We? He's not from New York, what's with the "we" bullshit?
just a horribly dumb ass person they need to retire him so bad
Maybe Kennedy should turn his attention to his state, which has the highest murder rate in the country.
Has the senator tried the shutting the f*ck up tactic?
Senator Cornpone thinks assault rifle style gunmen are a dime a dozen and law enforcing is a safe way to stop them?
Was law enforcement too busy helping ICE round up hard-working immigrants to notice the shooter sauntering down the boulevard with his killing machine?
He wasnt sauntering down any boulevard. He was driven right to the front of the building , got out of the car and walked about 30 yards into the lobby. That's the plaza in front of the building not a sidewalk.
Sauntering through the plaza for the length of 1/3 of a football field with his killing machine.
How do we know he isn't ICE? Other than no mask?
Police don't and can't really stop mass shootings. Even assuming that most cops felt a duty to protect civilians (most don't), you'd still need them on every corner of the city for them respond before the shooter has finished. itsgoingdown.org/militarized-...
How does this dude walk down the street in NYC between 5 and 6 pm and NO ONE called the cops? There were no cops that just happened to be strolling down that block?!? No cctvs picked him up and flashed any warnings??
he didn’t ‘walk down the street’, he parked his car and walked into the building and no, there aren’t cops strolling outside every building on Park Ave at 630pm
Yes he double parked. And I'm thinking it must have been right by 345 Park Ave because that concrete looks like the plaza/large patio area in front of the bldg. So the gun may have been somewhat concealed by parked cars until he crossed into the sidewalk & this area.
Yeah the main notable thing about Park is *if* there were a sniper on a roof you wouldn’t want to cross those wide sidewalks. Other than that, an athletic young guy can get from curb to door easily without ‘warnings’ or whatever that person is talking about
Pretty sure there were 911 calls. But he double parked near the building, so he didn't have to walk far. It wasn't likely the police could've arrived in time to stop him.
In NYC? Sure Jan
“As someone from Swamp Hole, Louisiana, I am well positioned to understand the best law enforcement strategy for the most dense and diverse urban environment in the country.”
We could just start by banning guns that don’t fit in your pocket
Why not all guns?
Yes. But I was talking about this in relationship to someone who thought frisking would have stopped yesterday’s tragedy
Except if you are hunting in the woods which very much doesn’t cover Manhattan
That's hunting in the hoods
The vast majority of firearm violence is committed with the ones that fit in your pocket.
Yes. Absolutely. Those should also be controlled. I only said that because “frisking” was brought up a deterrent to yesterday’s crime.
Didn’t this fossil hillbilly die in the Jurassic Period?
Him, McConnell and Grassley. They should all have.
So a man with documented mental health issues was able to get his hands on a weapon and the issue is not the state of mental health care or access to weapons in this country but that the police just aren't racist ENOUGH? I'm so sick of these ghouls.
And sick of the people who believe this bullshit.
Scum
Only if you are not white? Correct? Why don’t they ask that question
Using the chart below and Senator Kennedy's assertion that when stop and frisk ended crime in NYC went up find the date when NYPD stopped using 'stop and frisk'.
Go back to Russia, Foghorn
Kennedy speaking out about violent crime in NYC, while hailing from a state with some of the highest violent crime rates in the country is rich.
Racist much? 🙄
Duh. He's dictionary definition racist.
Nazi traitor
Oxford Education.
I bet Congressman Foghorn Leghorn has never even been to NYC.
He’s an elite, an actor playing a stereotype that you fell for, like most members of congress who play folksy to their base
I will not stand for this calumny and slander. Foghorn Leghorn is an American icon, who came by his accent honestly.
"I say, I say, boy..."
As a Rhodes scholar who studied at the elite Magdalen College Oxford, England (you have to have serious bank to do that) I presume he's traveled through and didn't use that made-up accent when he did.
Yup. His thick drawl and aw-shucks manner is just an act for his constituents and the media. He’s a very smart, calculating SOB.
He was very middle of the road as a State Controller. Very sensible. He now entertains the Beef Jerky crowd !
He ran to the **left** of the establishment favorite in the 2004 Senate race...
You have to understand that this guy puts up a show for his voters. I bet he could easily blend into a group of rich NYC lawyers.
You won the internet today. Thank you
How this guy was a Rhodes Scholar completely mystifies me. How did he function in Oxford with that accent??
He changed his accent from a southern Rhodes Scholar to Foghorn Leghorn.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I heard an interview with one of his classmates who said that he had no accent when he was in college. He is a pure, distilled phony.
Well, there you go. He's playing the hick.
Now do Louisiana. Geez.
Kennedy: We should violate the civil rights of citizens & do it arbitrarily along established policing racial profiling lines, so we dont have to enforce constitutionally mandated regulated rights, after 6 bought & paid for politicians in robes nixed the regulation & militia part of the constitution
Isn't this one of the "now is not the time" a-holes who never thinks it's appropriate to discuss gun control? So New York can give his opinion the consideration it deserves.
Stop and frisk? The guy was walking with a huge assault rifle.
Kennedy never tires of showing folks how stupid he is.
Completely ineffectual at preventing crime but extremely effective at harassing and imprisoning minorities.
Senator Kennedy, which state has the highest homicide rate in the nation? Followup question: Does that fact make you qualified to offer solutions to New York?
Stay in your lane. You know nothing about NYC
IS it ME … or should Louisiana’s own discount version of Foghorn Leghorn undergo character reassignment surgery … and become “Yosemite Sam?”
No need to frisk, he was open carrying. But I guess that the “frisk” part was a Freudian slip from Kennedy.
Kennedy is such a Moron
The man was walking down the street carrying a rifle. Pretty sure he wouldn’t stop to be frisked.
Police have no duty to actually protect anybody as Uvalde showed us and some SCOTUS ruling several years ago. Stop and frisk is about harassment.
"protect and serve" is just a slogan.
correct castle rock v gonzales
One of the most heinous fucking rulings in the history of the court, and they are not a body short on real doozies.
He wasn't walking down the street. He was dropped off right in front of the building and walked about 30 yards into the lobby - He only walked on the entrance plaza to the building not the sidewalk.
How high is the homicide rate in Louisiana?…this fool is spouting nonsense
Stop and frisk is legal, however the problem is having cause without profiling.
Stop and frisk is blatantly unconstitutional actually
Stop and frisk for what? A gun they want to have the right to carry, because they worship the 2nd Amend. and won't strengthen existing laws or put limits on who can have that gun?
Why does anyone care what Senator Cornpone Cosplay has to say about a police force halfway across the country?
No one here cares what that brain-addled cartoon character has to say. Especially about our cops. They are the best in the world.
Foghorn leghorn can fuck all the way off. No one cares about his opinion. 🤡
Who the fuck asked him?
Last time I checked, a highly educated Senator from Louisiana who CHOOSES to pretend he talks like Gomer Pyle doesn't run New York City
Of COURSE the rethuglikkkans immediately jump to their old favorite racial profiling stand-by..well, one of their favorites. 🤬
You know darn well that stop and frisk was ever only used against one color of people. So no.
Says the guy who represents a permitless, open-carry state. 🙄
It’s almost like he doesn’t have clue
Sure, Foghorn Leghorn. Let's grab the guy with an assault rifle and frisk him. Or...just spitballing here, we could ban those types of weapons. It worked before, and the country seemed a lot less violent then.
Foghorn leghorn, I will never look at him the same way.
But that was liberal activist judges legislating from the bench and the highest court in the land had to put them straight. 😐🤬 It has become clear. It isn't just a trumpian feature, but an overall Republican one 👇
What is the purpose of interviewing this hillbilly for this horrific shooting?
Don’t this asshole have a stroke a few weeks ago? Like the turtle did?
“You hiding an AR-15 in those pants”????
Did Chuck Schumer go on tv to criticize “mass shootings” in New Orleans? Kennedy is a “corn pone” idiot.
If only police could stop and frisk, they would have *checks notes* stopped the guy openly carrying a three foot long gun. The lack of stop and frisk is what let this happen.
Less crime per capita than the cities in his shitty state.
Another shitty take from Foghorn Dipshit.
These fucking creeps have zero new ideas
