All of New York should should come help out like in the first Sam Raimi Spider Man.

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

If you're thinking of the train scene that's Spider-Man 2.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago

I was thinking the 'You mess with one of us you mess with all of us!" scene from the first one.

Don't be careful, he's a demon

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

After uniting all of New York with that victory speech he gave at the Knicks parade, I can see this happening.

If I was Mamdani I wouldn't arrest him. I would do a secret second thing.

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago

He should call up an Italian plumber, he'd know what to do

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Just make sure that no one bothers him at the exact locations that he's staying. Like guys, you can't bother an allied foreign leader that's staying in room 524 of the Waldorf.

Amazing how Israel can just flex its immunity and the Western governments will bend over backwards for them continuously

[-] StarkWolf@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

Isntreal: "We can do anything and kill anyone that we want to, and nobody or any laws can do anything to stop us!"

Western countries: "Wow, you're so right. We love you! Come by any time! Here's another billion dollars."

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

just normal smol bean vassal behavior!

[-] 9to5@hexbear.net 61 points 1 month ago

Zohran is probably gonna die for this but he just got a chance to go down in history

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 59 points 1 month ago

if he did, i think i'd lose my mind

[-] daniyeg@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago

i know it's probably a joke but do people really expect a mayor to somehow force the cops to arrest a foreign leader who is an ally of the united states which could be considered sedition? the US military will literally hang zohran and all of his staff in times square before they let that happen.

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't know I feel like if he ordered it and the cops refused to do it that would be preferable to backing down and not ordering it at all and the most likely resolution is that he orders it and then they book Netanyahu and then he gets out immediately and spends the rest of his life complaining about it which would be very funny.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago

I think there's a problem that once you order the cops to do a thing and they flat out refuse, it lays bare the kayfabe. Maybe that would be good, actually, but it would mean zero credible leverage with the NYPD ever after. Would make Mamdani look absolutely powerless.

Some people do really expect that and if this comes to pass you will know them by their posting.

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Sometimes you gotta take one for the team

[-] Sabbo@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

They could try, but I don't believe it would work out well for them.

If Mamdani gives the order and the NYPD refuses then the NYPD loses their political legitimacy as public servants. Once that's gone they become nothing more than highwaymen and tax collectors, in a big city that hates them.

If they do follow orders and they get attacked then suddenly Mamdani has control over one of the largest armies in the world.

If Mamdani backs out then the last shred of good faith people have in the US state dies.

If Mamdani is martyred...

does he have any loyal cops?

[-] somename@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago

Clearly it's time to call on the Sliwa Revolutionary's Brigades to enforce the People's Justice.

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Saw a clip the other day where he was on a float for pride

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

if i was less busy with other frivolous things i'd try to understand the mind of curtis sliwa

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago

I don't even think he understands his own mind

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

All you need to know is that his love for cats is only matched in magnitude by his hatred for Cuomo.

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sliwa sucks but the one thing he and Mamdani have in common is that they're New Yorkers and nearly all New Yorkers hate Cuomo.

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 48 points 1 month ago

Netanyahu is challenging Mamdani's bluff! Is Netanyahu a fool for challenging the NYC mayor blessed with the Mandate of Heaven, or is Mamdani's terrible reign of W's about to come to an end? This is going to be an epic show down you don't want to miss!

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago
[-] Keld@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago

The fact that he is doing it as a challenge and Mamdani still won't do shit is the cherry on top of the shit sundae.

[-] RION@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

Call him Mamdahmer the way... he... nah nvm

mamdani should push him off the top of the empire state building

[-] Poophammer@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Based Dimension Mamdani opens his newspaper, sees the headline and squints his eyes confused, "Arrest?"

[-] somename@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Anyone have any solid source on this? I’ve seen it repeated around a bit, but a news article supporting it would be nice.

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's old, OP probably copied someone else's screenshot excluding the community notes bit

https://archive.is/x3lGg <- times of pissreal article

[-] somename@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I figured there would be some news reporting on it if he was actually about to visit.

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Boo, there was no note when i screenshot

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

We'll get a American Military vs American Cops showdown

[-] Athena5898@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Nah, the cops hate his guts.

If mamdani tried he'd be boiled alive in the middle of times square by the U.S. military

[-] Finger@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

no more half measures walter

[-] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

Not a chance lol

[-] lizard_thing@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

i can dream all day but sadly, reality is often disappointing. he wouldnt be able to do it even if he wanted (wants?) to

[-] geese_feces@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Trump loves Mamdani, wonder if he would support this
