‘RIOTING’ IS FINE, BUT 9/11 TRIBUTE ISN’T? WHAT A DISGRACE, BUT THE REAL SURPRISE IS WHO ELSE AGREED
DAILY/HEADLINES | August 15, 2020
The now traditional dual light display, so familiar to Americans as a remembrance in honor of those who perished on 9/11/01, won’t be up this year. Because of COVID. The same COVID that in NO WAY prevented Bill de Blasio from skipping rules and permits to get “Black Lives Matter” painted on city streets.
“The decision to cancel the “Tribute in Light” memorial comes after the museum this year also scrapped the in-person reading of 9/11 victims’ names at the annual Ground Zero ceremony,” the New York Post reported on Friday.
What an absolute disgrace. Looting, rioting, and mass protests are just fine im NYC, but honoring the dead of the Sept 11th terror attacks is forbidden.

It’s a real shame what’s happened to the city under its current incompetent leadership!!! https://t.co/VwJLwuOF24
Reagan Battalion hit the nail on the head, too.
NYC mayor @BilldeBlasio says that the 9/11 memorial lights in memory of the 2,606 New Yorkers, including 343 firefighters, won’t shine this year, because it is too dangerous for the electricians to work together to connect the lights due to COVID-19 social distancing rules. pic.twitter.com/NugFWv3PRS

As the wife of a surviving member of the @fdny during the September 11th attacks, this is a disgrace. If you can have "peaceful protests" and the MTV music awards, you should be able to find ways to remember those who died on September 11th, 2001. https://t.co/DeWTQzVa1W
