NY mayor Eric Adams’ aide mugged at gunpoint.
NYPost: If this isn’t a sign of the times, nothing is.
Amid rising crime in the Big Apple, one of Mayor Eric Adams’ aides was mugged in broad daylight Tuesday while scouting a location in Brooklyn for a planned visit by Hizzoner, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
The brazen caper took place even though the victim, a civilian member of Adam’s advance team, cautioned that he was a well-connected City Hall employee, a high-ranking police source said.
“You don’t want to do this. I work for the mayor,” he told the two crooks.
But in a show of utter contempt, they ignored the warning, with one man lifting his shirt to display the butt of a pistol tucked into his pants, the source said.
The incident began when the victim — Manhattan resident Christopher Baugh, 33 — refused to turn over his wallet and cellphone, telling the robbers, “Get out of my way,” cops said.
Instead, one stuck his leg out behind Baugh and the other pushed him to the ground. more
HAHAHA!
Seems like I’ve heard this many times- don’t you know who I am , who I work for? Guess your so called position in life really doesn’t matter any more.
Needed to use the Denny Crane approach.
u bez mo’ impotent than de citizens?
Levy also said Baugh’s mugging “only further highlights the urgency to get dangerous guns and dangerous people off our streets as quickly as possible.”
That’s odd. To me this highlights why people should be able to defend and protect themselves with a hand gun. If Baugh had one he could have bagged a couple of bad guys and sent a message to the rest.
“I work for the mayor”.
And? So? Who cares? Gibs wi’ da money. Now.
the dolfer: Don’t worry, Baugh will be issued a permit post haste without having to turn over a two year history of his social media posts. The only thing that surprises me is that he was not issues a permit before.
…I notice that, when it’s a Government official as victim, they actually publish the race of the attackers, which IS relevant if you actually WANT to catch them.
…which suggests that they are not so worried about catching the folks that rob people who do NOT work for the mayor, but I’m sure that’s just an oversight…/s
Too fucking bad. If I witnessed someone being mugged and knew for a fact that they were a City of Tacoma politician or any of their appointed direct staff I would say good, laugh about it and walk away.
‘Do you know who I am’ seldom works with police so ta daa it doesn’t work with strongarm robbers either. What would work on strongarm robbers would be punishment on conviction, or the armed citizen. Better punishment than arms, but better either than allowing this kind of thing to go on. Like fungus, it only grows until curbed or extirpated.
Just because he is employed by the Mayor (at taxpayer expense) doesn’t mean he actually does any ‘work’!
Don’t know ’bout you, but I fled NYC many, many, moons ago when I saw Dinky installed as mayor.
I’m 1000% sure this was the dialog:
“I work for the Mayor”
“Fuck you and the Mayor”
Described his attackers as two “black males”.
Racist!!!!
They may have been fully employed crooks that just want some of their tax money back.
I’d suggest he get a job with Smith & Wesson so he can back his words with some clout.
I’m surprised that the Mayor’s office didn’t issue and apology to the muggers and blame Trump for their economic distress.
Do you know who I am?
No, I’m not a proctologist, but I’ll give it a stab.
Sounds like he played the Race Card and effed around and found out –
“You don’t want to do this…I work for the mayor…Hes down with y’all.”
Joggers aren’t very nice, these days.
This is what I wish would happen on a daily basis…elites, celebrities and politicians who are anti-gun and pro-FJB to have a pistol pointed between their eyes knowing there is nothing they can do about it. I want them to know what it’s like to feel absolutely helpless. Getting pistol whipped would be icing on the cake.
Proving that it’s better to have a gun in your pocket, rather than a mayor!
