Politics: NYC Mayor Eric Adams had bulldozing event, where 100 illegal dirt bikes & all-terrain vehicles, confiscated UPDATE: ADAMS INDICTED!

[Lexx Diamond]

8+ million people in the city and the voters chose this dude?

At least they have swagger now

It was either him or that lyin ass, trump wannabe, Curtis Sliwa. Fucked either way.

Thank you. Too many people are quick to talk shit without knowing what the choice was.

 

[totto]

I truly hate this clown coon......once a cop always a cop and he a clown cop at that......I dont know how black people didnt get behing Maya W.....we fucked this up forreal....behind a coon ass clown ass Clarence Thomas ass nigga

Kinda no choice bruh to be honest the way the media focuses on basically anything black people do once they start covering the crime + social media no democrat could run NY without being hard on crime, it's really the coverage that makes all the change, cacs focus on it too heavy.

I don't think any dem could come into NY without tackling crime hard, no choice.

 

[RoadRage]

For the culture

Man fuck these grown-ass attention hoe Bozos, one of them fucked up my parked car and I had to come out my pocket for a deduction. Why don't they go upstate or in the county where it's empty to wild out like that? I know, there aren't enough people to show off in front of. Well if they want to show off so much, why not show the world how much of a loser they are in real life by crushing their bikes on the internet for folks like me to laugh at!

 

[RoadRage]

i wonder how many of them were owned by white people?

If they only took the bikes from black people then there should be videos of only white folks doing that shit, because they should be the only ones left with bikes!

 

[Darrkman]

you live in NYC??? Cause the most we can do and complain about this is noise.....I am not putting on these young brothers that because they are on bikes they are more dangerous.....thats bullshit and I called it out because when it comes to white people its glorified and when it comes to us its demonized.....and if we talking about noise they need to go after those fucking race cars with the gun shot mufflers and the fucking ambulance who drive wreck-less with the siren to go fucking nowhere cause they hate traffic....these dudes coming through the block 40 deep is a 60 sec thing nothing more...... and these motorcycles held up traffic for 10 mins I was there

I live in NYC and you're reaching on this one. You're showing a funeral procession but you will know ahead of time when this is happening and where. These dudes will slow down traffic anywhere. I've been stuck behind them on the Grand Central. Seen it happening in Harlem while I was at Melba's, seen it in Brooklyn....etc etc. What makes it annoying is that it's random and who the fuck wants to sit on 10 mph traffic while you're trying to flex.

Please you know BGOL is mostly non New Yorkers that think you can only live here if you make $200k a year or more.

Plus I've never seen police bikes crashing into cars and then fleeing the scene without giving information. Shit, I wish a cop cycle or even a cop car were to hit my car, at least I'd know I'll get paid.

Because opening up a park for inner city youth to learn to ride dirt bikes as some form of after school program would have made him look... Good?


This country is pathetic

They could go to beach parking lots during non-beach months and wild the fuck out all day, but then again most attention-loving clowns love to bozo out in front of an audience!

So you want the city government to teach kids how to ride dirt bikes (whic are illegal) within the city limits??
That's like saying hey kids you are committing a crime but let us provide a free space for you to commit those crimes.

Yep you just KNOW they have insurance and good coverage.

 

[dugington]

Don't know when you came up bro but at the beginning, those boys was about that action. In fact they had to have legal lessons about what they could do - eg citizen arrest, cause they were tuning up busters right and left. Actually that's when their downfall began when crimeys realized they wouldn't do anything except radio for cops and/or follow them. The cat that co-founded the GA was no joke, known on the streets, sliwa was always a publicity hound nothing more. Many times he got his ass kicked.

You are absolutely correct that these shoot-first cats these days would end their story with the quickness.

The era I'm specifically describing is the mid 1980s and up.
They was known for being a force in the city and mainly in the city where the press could see their presence. But they knew who to pull that fake tough guy shit with. If they didn't have the numbers, they aint even bother to call for back up.

Think about it. How were Decepticons able to rob and violate people like that without the Angels doing shit about it? On the deuce? At the Latin Quarter? Or Union Square? Every weekend?
When dudes started rolling everywhere 20-50 deep, them red berets parted like the Red Sea.

I don't know about the co-founder, but you're right --- Sliwa was the fakest of them all.
Remember he admitted to faking his own kidnapping?

 

[Complex]

You dudes who don't think it's a big deal, have you seen the way some of these dudes drive them? A lot of them pay no attention to the rules of the road...and will do whatever they want.

I'm nervous for them while they're doing tricks on a fucking bike in the middle of the fucking road with cars around.

Plus one of my neighbors kids has one, and that shit is annoying as hell to hear.

 

[trstar]

Waste of a money opportunity to sell those things.

A couple of folks died in B-more last month in accidents related to riding atv's/dirt bikes.

What I think could become an issue is folks getting fed up & you have more road rage incidents. Folks getting shot.

You sell them they’ll be right back on the streets they were confiscated from

I think you are placing the cart in front of the horse because the only waste of money is the folks spending their hard-earned cash on those bikes only for the city to jack them and then crush them in front of the world to see. The city didn't spend a dime and would use the scrap to make a few extra bucks.

 

[playahaitian]

They been crushing confiscated bikes since Bloomberg. They used to auction them but realized the same guys were getting them from the auction so now they crush them

You 100%

But there has to be something better to do with them then this?

Strip them for parts and create a STEM program targeting automotive.

Make art.

Sell them over seas

Something besides this.

I think it's a political P.R. show, to show the people that things are being done about those annoying bikers, plus to an attention whore biker, nothing crushes the spirit more than witnessing your bike that you work so hard to buy, go up in flames right before your eyes, and witnessing so many people applauding.

^^^^

That is all it is.

And going on decades the voting public just eats this sh*t up.

What a waste of time and money.

Get the bikes off the streets but let's do something productive from that.

Pre-decept days. GA started in '79 IIRC. Remember that shit spread like wildfire to other cities and even countries. I'm telling you GA would be in Flatbush, New Lots, White Plains, all over the place laying the wood. Mofos that just liked violence were joining. The riders started getting scared of them and that's when the wheels came off.

As far as 30-50 cats rolling, only a fool wouldn't get out the way. 50 individuals is one thing but a mob takes on it's own identity - unpredictable and dangerous. You may or may not be aware of this.

That's why my reply started with "when I was coming up."
They wasn't shit around that time.
And my point about the numbers is simple: They was using it to their advantage and playing hero. But when the numbers were similar they tucked tail. This is what I witnessed first-hand.

Good convo with you tho.

Auctioning those bikes is worth way more than the scrap generated. The PR is just poor theater.

 

[PlayerR]

Once again, auctioning them off isn't going to solve the problem the same folks are buying the bikes back & you have the problem all over again. And if you auction them off in another urban area you're just adding their issues. rural areas don't have enough people to buy all those bikes.

 

[RoadRage]

True, but your argument is that it's a waste of money, not that they could generate more money by selling them. Like I said before it's a free P.R. campaign and a good P.R. campaign could cost tens of thousands if not millions of dollars, so they know what they are doing.

 

[Blaq_Golgo13]

Yea I figured why not sell them.. I would have used the auction as a decoy to lure out those gang members looking to make purchases… then buckle their asses up in the wagon headed off to jail.

 

[34real]

Destroy em that way if you auction them off their going to buy back their bikes and ride some more.

Those bikes aren't ment for the roads with traffic and a lot of people don't have any experience riding and end up fucking themselves up or killing themselves ....if they respected the rules of the road I wouldn't care but since they don't,they have to go.

 

[PlayerR]

Only if they committed a crime they can be arrested for, in many cases it would just be a traffic offense.

 

[Blaq_Golgo13]

There’s fools doin shit like riding wheelies in every predominantly black city, causing accidents, fights, and murdering people. In my neighborhood app, a person was just complaining about a fool on a motorcycle stopping traffic to do a wheelie. When she blew her horn, the guy smashed her side mirror then pulled a gun shouting if she had a problem. At an intersection, a group of about 8 were holding up traffic so the group could do stunts, burnouts, and wheelies, a dump truck driver wasn’t having a drive right over 2 of the quads, one of the guys started shooting at the truck.

 

[daking181]

Nothing until your riding behind 30 of them and they have you driving at 10 mph while the front four bikes are doing wheelies for 5 straight blocks. And if you try to go around them there’s a chance they’ll bust your car window

30 is a light day for them

 

[daking181]

You can tell the people in here that haven't been stuck behind these assholes on the Belt Parkway, BQE or Grand Central.

Shit how about a regular street (Jamaica ave., Hollis ave., Rockaway and the conduit, etc)

Please point out where I wrote any of that? I want them to take some of the money the city waste on bullshit and build a park to ride dirt bikes on a track for kids, I wasn't aware that dirt bikes are only used for crimes lol but anyways I guess you prefer the checkered flag and theatrics.

 

[godofwine]

It’s a mind fuck on another level man! Somebody somewhere cried in the car over that shit right THERE! you really want to demoralize a mf bring what they love most in front of them and kill it!

It's sadistic

Obviously you missed the whole point of dirt bikes being illegal to ride on city streets and on public land. So therefore you are stating that the city should break their own laws.

 

[RoadRage]

Like they said a million times already auctioning them is a revolving door where most bikes would wind up back in the streets, even if you try to sell the bikes overseas who's to say palms won't get greased allowing those bikes to be sold back here again for a higher price.
The bottom line is they lost as much money as someone giving you a fancy hat you don't like and you decide to throw it away.
