The night the winds of disinterest blew out the candles --- and left everybody there to curse the darkness of their long nights of the soul in these times


On Tuesday evening, Brian Fox held an event that he called a "Candlelight Vigil" as his latest attempt to cash-in on the recent deaths of a pair of police officers, who died at the other end of New York City  


In spite of the "all hands on deck" attempts by Fox and his ilk to flog the corpses of these two poor dead men  ---  the event was very sparsely attended for something like this.  ---   If this were in any way an attempt to show community support for anything or anybody  >>>  IT WAS AN ABJECT FAILURE


But you don't have to believe us on this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island  >>>  Brian Fox re-posted these pix originally posted by "The Boy Wonder" Michael Demartino, Je., as a photographic record of the event, which was held at "Old Glory Lookout" on Shore Road in Bay Ridge: 

As you can see these few, these very few, are a mix of the usual Bay Ridge GOP -Conservative Party folks with a few NYPD -types mixed in to flesh out the "crowd."

===============

On January 27th, 2022, Brian Fox posted this announcement of his "EVENT" on his political campaign social media:  

"Brian Fox for City Council created an event... January 27, 2022 at 5:29 PM...

 


TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2022 AT 7 PM

Candlelight Vigil in memory PO Jason Rivera and PO Wilbert Mora

Shore Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11209, United States"
This announcement by Brian Fox on his campaign's political social media site received "Interest" from eleven (11) responders, and "Likes" from eight (8) others  ---  such lack of enthusiasm for Fox's :EVENT" is reflected in the array of pictures above.
As stated in the sub-headline above:"...  the event was very sparsely attended  ---  if this was in any way an attempt to show community support for anything or anybody  >>>  IT WAS AN ABJECT FAILURE ".....

Poor Marty. Michael Demartino Jr. woke Marty up and trotted him out to another poorly attended vigil tonight. Marty was there with his walker looking like an octogenarian. Nicole didn't show. She couldn't be bothered.... February 3, 2022 at 12:09 AM"

The question everyone was asking: where was Brian? Why wasn't Brian Fox at his own vigil?

Gail,
What you called a 'crowd' was mostly, mostly cops and not local people.
Fox definitely wasn't in any of young Michael's pictures; and in his report, the boy definitely didn't list anybody named 'Brian Fox' being among the 'crowd' attending the vigil.
Maybe, Fox needed to take another snow day off. After all, there's been snow all over the place lately.

We need to understand the daily obstacles our police face and empathize with these issues instead of just running them down and forgetting about it the next day.

Nicole did not attend because she was at a BLM meeting on state street.

SOME RELEVANT QUERIES: THE "RICHARD BARSAMIAN" EDITION

WHO IS SOME GUY CALLED "RICHARD BARSAMIAN" ?

WHY IS MICHAEL DEMARTINO, JR., REFERRING TO THIS GUY "RICHARD BARSAMIAN" AS A BROOKLYN GOP VICE CHAIRMAN ???

WHY WAS THIS GUY "RICHARD BARSAMIAN" STANDING-IN FOR BROOKLYN GOP CHAIRMAN TED GHORRA AT THE BRIAN FOX "CANDLELIGHT VIGIL EVENT" WHEN THERE ARE SEVERAL SENIOR BROOKLYN GOP VICE-CHAIRPERSONS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO ATTEND ?????

WHEN & HOW WAS "RICHARD BARSAMIAN" ELECTED OR SELECTED TO BE A BROOKLYN GOP VICE CHAIRMAN ???????

This so-called "Brooklyn GOP Vice Chairman" --- RICHARD BARSAMIAN --- is not listed on any official Brooklyn GOP internet web page, nor on the Kings County Republican Party's official social media sites.

A search engine inquiry under "Richard Barsamian, Brooklyn, Republican" only turns up a few photo images from the Brooklyn Reporter with a "Richard Barsamian" --- mostly in attendance at Conservative Party events.

Based on Richard Barsamian's Meta-Facebook page, there is virtually nothing about himself at all >>> except that his only two firends are from Providence , RI --- a "Howard Nightingale"; and another "Richard Barsamian".....

Otherwise, this "Richard Barsamian" is a man of mystery --- very much like Brian Fox was at this time last year.....

I find it very odd that Brian Fox didn't attend his own advertised vigil, especially since he's such a big fan of snow

"RICHARD BARSAMIAN" is Marty's old bag-man. He's been around for awhile now. Big booming voice and loads of hot air. Last seen at 68 Precinct Council meeting praising the cops for doing nothing

Nobody ever asks this very obvious question >>> why do the Kato Kaelins and the Linda Tripps of this world pop up when they do ??????????

Nicole won't get 12% from 9th street to Atlantic avenue. Is she running?

Anonymous said...

If Deblasio wins the primary Nicole gets another term.

Anonymous said...

That's not how the system works. No matter who wins the Democratic Party primary, the Republican candidate must run against that winner in the general election. In the cross county lines congressional seat for Staten Island and Brooklyn, that includes all parts of the district.

If the former mayor Bill deBlasio were to win the Democratic Party primary throughout the Brooklyn and Staten Island congressional district, he would show that he could be a formidable candidate for the general election covering the same ground as well.

In the new district, Nicole would get no free ride to any re-election no matter who her opponent might be, even if it's deBlasio.

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "DID NICOLE STEP ON HER DICK ON 'FOX & FRIENDS' ???" EDITION

DID NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS INSULT ALL OF HER OLD & NEW "BROOKLYN CONSTITUENTS" YESTERDAY IN A STATEMENT TO BRIAN KILMEADE ON THE FOX NEWS MORNING PROGRAM "FOX & FRIENDS" ?????

A MAJOR NEWSPAPER, IN AN ARTICLE PICKED UP BY OTHER NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, HAS REPORTED THAT CONRESSWOMAN NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS HAS SAID THAT THE DEMOCRATS' ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE BOUNDARIES OF HER DISTRICT IN BROOKLYN WAS AN ATTEMPT TO "SILENCE" THOSE THAT SHE REPRESENTS IN CONGRESS >>> THE CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE OF STATEN ISLAND <<<

WHAT ABOUT NICOLE'S EXISTING BROOKLYN CONSTITUENCY & ITS NEWER BROOKLYN SUBSTITUTE AREAS >>> DOES NICOLE THINK THAT THEY ARE ALL WOKE, ULTRA-RADICAL CHOPPED LIVER !!!!!!!!!! ??????????


If this turns out to be true --- well then, "Houston, we have a problem...."

Donors to Brian Fox cited their fear of rising crime, despite NYPD data showing that reported incidents in 68 Precinct have continued to decline over the past several years, with the numbers down more than 83% over the past 28 years.

There is no crime. You must be a Trumper.

Anonymous said...

At this moment in our society there is no concensus about crime. In well ordered societies there is.

China is a well-ordered society, and so is Iran. They are the future model for anybody that only cares about crime.

For the most part, Western-style democracies are not very good when it comes to issues of crime and punishment.

RESPONSE: THE "NATIONAL GOP DOESN'T WANT ANY REAPPORTIONMENT CASE TO SUCCEED" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:59 AM"

ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THERE WERE MANY MORE GOP-FRIENDLY CONGRESSIONAL SEATS CREATED IN THE POST-2020 DRAWING OF DISTRICT LINES THAN FOR THE DEMS --- A GOP WIN IN NYS WOULD BE BAD FOR THE NATIONAL GOP AND GOOD FOR THE NATIONAL DEMS >>> BECAUSE OF ITS VALUE AS A JUDICIAL PRECEDENT ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY

We heard Nicole mention a possible "Voting Rights Act" violation wrt the changed lines for her district on a video recording of her Kilmeade interview on the Fox News morning show. How can she, or anybody arguing on her behalf, make any U.S. Voting Rights Act argument with anything close to a straight face ???

DeBlasio is running for congress. Exclusive just out in the Post so it's gotta be true.

Anonymous said...

That is a very special kind of article in tomorrow's Post. All that the paper really said is that there would be an exploratory committee, and a special private poll in the district. In other words, somebody is trying to make something out of nothing.

Didn't you notice how many people the Post said that it tried to reach but couldn't get any response?
