BLM isn’t about putting graffiti in neighborhoods.
Black people leading the BLM movement in Manhattan stopped people from doing graffiti. Why? Because they want to be heard – they don’t want their movement to be associated with destruction.

Did FBBR Invite Antifa to Bay Ridge?
Tonight, while reading an online tiff between conservatives and socialists on social media, I came across Vito Bruno asking the founder of Fight Back Bay Ridge if she brought a national Antifa leader to Bay Ridge (and that man mentioned how his gun comes in handy!)

I remember the event that Fight Back Bay Ridge held in February. In January, White Nationalist had placed stickers with messages and a banner in Bay Ridge (see video below). FBBR wanted to share with the public what they can do to stay safe and help combat Neo Nazi’s in the area.

?

Along with other local groups, Fight Back Bay Ridge responded to the banner by organizing a rally to denounce the hate in Bay Ridge. After the event, a local photographer shared that some people who attended the rally had Antifa symbols. (I didn’t see the photos, so I am not sure if a Bay Ridge resident showed up wearing the symbol.)

FBBR taped the meeting held at the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church with Pastor David present. The meeting seemed helpful and level-headed. Jenkins provided tips like not to share pictures of the white nationalists such as new stickers or messages from them because that helps promote their growth. Jenkins even spoke to a 13-year-old student about what she could do about white nationalism. The meeting seemed informative to concerned Ridgites.

After the meeting the local paper, The Brooklyn Eagle described Fight Back Bay Ridge as an anti-hate group. The Eagle’s article didn’t mention that Daryle Lamont Jenkins was alt-right or affiliated with Antifa. The meeting was presented in a very positive light.
Radiofree Bay Ridge shared the video from the event. RadiofreeBR described Daryle Lamont Jenkins as a alt-right hate group expert. Alt-right wasn’t mentioned the flyer for the event.

?

Is Daryle Lamont Jenkins a member of Antifa? The title of this article says he is an Antifa leader.
In another video on YouTube, Jenkins presents himself as a good guy going against the bad guys – the Nazi’s and racists. Jenkins’ objective seems to be to uncover white supremacists to their community.
On Twitter, Daryle Larmont Jenkins is mild and he stays focused on white nationalists. But he also retweets Antifa’s messages – namely one about the rally in Bay Ridge that brought Antifa here (but people here in Bay Ridge used the hashtag of antifa to start things up…and that’s a problem).
Strangely, I think those in Antifa believe the violence is warranted, so they think it is okay.
While Bay Ridge residents of these groups may think that’s “cool” and “exciting,” to invite Antifa, most people here don’t want violence. Seeing adults act like 15 year old kids mocking and fist-fighing haters is unproductive.
Awhile back, Councilman Brannan wrote on Twitter: “Antifa simply means anti-fascist. If you are anti-antifa that means you are pro-fascist.” (Source) Brannan has since deleted the comment with that strange philosophy.
If you bring someone to be violent to your community, you don’t really care about your community. On the evening of the rally in Bay Ridge, police spent hours trying to get people to leave because they didn’t understand that the event ended hours before.
Sadly, the inclusion of Antifa stopped Bay Ridge residents from attending a BLM protest with their family because they don’t want violence around their family. Someone even responded on Bay Ridge for Social Justice’s Facebook that “they were praying that no one was hurt at the most recent BLM rally.” (See here)
Did the “excitement of including Antifa” advance the BLM movement? No, it hurt our community. Many people here support BLM because they want their equality and they want children to grow up without racism as another pressure.

Yeah that’s not good.

Gounardes JUST Noticed Something Was Wrong

Before he was a Senator, Andrew Gounardes was able to call out when something wasn’t right. But politics changed him and he just noticed TODAY that something was wrong with Thrive NYC.

Here’s Andrew’s tweet:

Why is it a problem that Andrew only noticed this NOW?
The media has pointed out there was a problem for 10 months. See here, here, here, here & here

Gounardes voted for bail reform. Many of the people in jail have mental issues that have never been addressed, but need to be. Bail reform *should not* have been done so loosely without seeing that mental issues *were* going to be addressed.
In April, a professor named Marc Lamparello was arrested in NYC’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral for walking into the church with gas cans. (See here) Marc was released from Rikers, even though he had schizophrenia. Marc was not provided with mental health support and he jumped from the Verrazzano Bridge on April 17th. See here
Marc’s family wrote to this blog because they were distraught and wanted people to know that Marc didn’t receive mental health help after his release.

Bagel Story is Changing to FalahiFarms

Bagel Story at 8501 3rd Avenue is changing it up! The large space is becoming a gourmet butcher and grocery store. Wagons were outside the place today and this guy:

Still the same owner that loves Bay Ridge and people. I saw Abdul’s beautiful words. See here
May FalahiFarms be just as successful as Abdul’s Cocoa Grinder and FriteBar. I love when business owners change their model – it revives their place and our community too!

Rally at Seth Low Playground on August 1st

On July 17th, around 7:00 pm, a 89-year-old, Asian woman was slapped and then lit on fire by two men. How disgusting!

The elderly woman didn’t tell her family about the incident right away. Her family showed the burned shirt to the news several days after the incident.

Update: Hip Hop MC, China Mac is holding a rally on Saturday, August 1st at Seth Low Playground at 3:00 pm in Bensonhurst. He said, “We are not going to tolerate racism or hate crimes.”

?
He was completely disgusted that an elderly woman was attacked. His response was better than most politicians who had little to no response.

?
CHINA MAC SAID, ” WE MUST NO LONGER SIT BACK AND ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. WE CAN NOT BE QUIET AND DOCILE ANY LONGER. I ASK ALL OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO STAND WITH ME. THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.”
