June 9, 2021Brian Fox’s Interview Showed He is Serious About Changes

Brian Fox did an interview on the podcast, The Urban Conservative. (See it here)
This was the first time I heard Fox speak indepth about his campaign. Brian Fox has challenged Justin Brannan for the Bay Ridge NYC Council seat.
Fox focused on speaking against reforms that were made that made it harder for the NYC police to do their job.
As a Conservative, Fox stayed true to his beliefs of “Backing the Blue,” but he also showed an understanding for people with mental health issues and for rehabilitating people. Fox echoed the sentiments of many New Yorkers who have seen a change in NYC since there was a change in the laws.
Fox’s respect towards the NYPD was guinine and even included officers in training. He spoke about how he would stop the further handcuffing of the police and how he would fund the NYPD while in NYC Council.

Brannannites may want to skip this paragraph: Brian Fox called out his opponent, Councilman Brannan for failing to support for the NYPD, for failing to acknowledge recent crime incidents in Bay Ridge (since Memorial Day – see video below) and the court case involving Gentile. (Info) In March, Councilman Brannan voted to remove immunity from police officers and never spoke about his vote. (See here)
Throughout the interview, Fox listened to Raheen, the host of the podcast. Fox was introspective, down-to-earth and he wasn’t just throwing out rehearsed answers.
Fox gave Brooklyn Brew, a shoutout for making a great latte. (Brooklyn Brew at 310 79th Street makes the best cup of coffee – their regular coffee is great!) I think it’s important for leaders to point out great things that are available in Bay Ridge!
Finally, Fox spoke about Bill Pepitone who is running for Mayor on the Conservative line. Pepitone is a very likeable man, but I haven’t seen a lot of press coverage of his campaign. Pepitone doesn’t face a primary election this June, but will appear on the ballot in November. (Pepitone’s info)

June 9, 2021Pro-Palestinian Parade Today – Staten Island to Bay Ridge

A motorcade to support Palestine came from Staten Island to Bay Ridge this evening. (See video)
Why can’t anyone announce events like this? The politicians and NYPD have social media, so I don’t know why it’s a secret. (Example: Heads up Bay Ridge: Protest coming from Staten Island to Bay Ridge – stay clear of 5th Avenue).
Cars traveled on 5th Avenue with people honking their horns, waving Palestinian flags and homemade Free Palestine signs. The 68th Precinct was on 5th Avenue between 72nd to 75th Streets.
