So !!! What does Vito Bruno have to say about "The Rave Under the Kosciuszko Bridge"


The first question that Vito needs to answer is  ---  did he have any hand in putting this event together ?  After all, he did these kinds of things many times before  ---  And in the day, he not only bragged about it, he positively gushed about it


Second, did Vito have any advance word that this particular Rave was coming ???


Third, what is Vito's position on the holding events like this during the COVID-19 pandemic ?????   

>>>  Especially since NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo has specifically condemned them  <<<




Here's a snippet from the Gothamist:   "....  Ever since photos and videos of mass gatherings on Steinway Street in Astoria spread a few weeks ago, a task force created by Governor Andrew Cuomo has been cracking down on restaurants and bars violating the state's COVID-19 guidelines. But that hasn't stopped the proliferation of illicit pandemic parties....   The latest included a "secret" rave that drew hundreds of people to a small park under the Kosciuszko Bridge on the border of Brooklyn and Queens on Saturday night. It took police until 4 a.m. to break up the festivities, which is at least several hours after the event began...."  (See "Rave Organizer Defends Big Kosciuszko Bridge Party: 'People Need A Release' " by Ben Yakas, 8/3/2020,  Gothamist/ Arts & Entertainment   [https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/rave-organizer-defends-big-kosciuszko-bridge-party-people-need-release]).

You tell me if this part of the Gothamist article doesn't sound a lot like it could have been said by Vito Bruno himself    >>>   "....  'If you think people aren't going to gather, you're a fool—there's no stopping that,'  said one of the organizers, a South Brooklyn native who asked to be anonymous so the blowback from the event doesn't affect his day-to-day life. 'The event got out of control because people wanted to come, people wanted to be out. People have been cooped up for so long. The pressure is building, and people need a release. It's already happening. We can do it more safely, or we can pretend it isn't happening.'..."  After all, Vito Bruno has given several interviews like this one to his friends on the "Arts & Entertainment" beat for years.....


Similar coverage appeared in the "NY Post," "Rolling Stone," "The Patch" and at least two British publications, the "Independent" and the "Daily Mail," as well as numerous other internet sites.....  The Gothamist, and most if not all of these other media outlets, mentioned that Governor Cuomo has condemned gatherings like this, with Cuomo saying that  ".....   I am appalled....  The Department of Health will conduct an investigation. We have no tolerance for the illegal & reckless endangerment of public health....";  and another time this:  "It’s disrespectful. It’s illegal....  It violates common decency. look at all the people you endangered. What if one of the people gets sick and dies?...We need better enforcement all across the state....”

Great stuff, Gail. You hit the nail on the head and hit Vito Bruno in the head with this one. The way he answers your questions about the rave will show if he has changed one bit from the guy he was forty years ago.

Gale has become a lackey for Councilman Fatass and his butler Andy. Sad. No wonder you don't have any legit GOP sources anymore.

Based on video of the rave on social media, only some of the rave attendees wore masks. What it looked like was a wild dance party that was rocking the night away until the late after hours on Sunday. Most of all it showed a rampant, almost complete, disregard for social distancing guidelines.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THERE WERE "ANY LEGIT GOP SOURCES ANYMORE" IN BROOKLYN ?

MEGA WAS A DEMOCRAT, FLORENCE WAS A DEMOCRAT, MARTY WAS A DEMOCRAT, JQ WAS A CONSERVATIVE, LIAM WAS A CONSERVATIVE AND BOBBY CAP WORKED FOR DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE --- AND THERE ARE A FEW OTHERS --- AT CHRISTMAS IN 2008, ONE OF THE GOP VICE CHAIRS SAID TO ALL OF HER FELLOW KCGOP EXECUTIVE MEMBERS THAT SHE WAS GLAD THAT OBAMA HAD WON --- DID ANY OF THE FOLLOWING GIVE ANY REAL PATRONAGE TO THE BROOKLYN GOP: GIULIANI; PATAKI; BLOOMBERG ??? AND WHY WAS THAT ?????

Vito is and always has been a people person. Businesses in arts and entertainment sound like a better credential than hack jobs Andy had.

Becoming Mayor of NYC is a major business acquisition.

Anonymous said...

803, Vito's business was sex, drugs, and after hours; his 'art' was disco; as for his connection to law and order, he admitted paying off cops; and as for social responsibility, he did nothing to prevent the spread of AIDS and other STDs.

Now, as for Vito being 'a people person': something that hasn't been talked about yet was how so many of Vito Bruno's business associates went to jail, but Vito never did. --- Think about that, so many around Vito went to jail but not Vito. That might be his biggest 'credential' that he never talks about. His nickname should be 'VITO THE RAT'!

10:15 peddling more fake news the same dork who talks shit about people online and then literally shits himself when confronted online or innperson. Vito has been a quiet community leader involved in lots of good causes and charities. The ultra hipsters backing Andy boy know he can’t run on his record so have to spread lies about Vito. They’ve even enlisted Gale since only lefty Dems talk to him anymore.

The question that needs to be asked is this. Has this blog ever had anything positive to say about any republican? Praising dems and knocking the GOP is all this blog has been about.

Very clever but you cant fool all the people all the time.

Marty, Colleen, Kassar, Nicole, Vito, and ex-cop Doherty keep posting about a Bay Ridge that resembles Beirut. A War Zone. All because voters didn't choose Marty and Q in the last elections.

The facts say something quite different:

"DOES BAY RIDGE LOOK BETTER BETTER NOW THAN IT DID 2 YEARS AGO? ARE THE STREETS SAFER NOW THAN IT DID 2 YEARS AGO?" --- HMMMMM !!! WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT ??? --- WELL, SINCE YOU'VE ASKED, I WILL ANSWER:
>>> BAY RIDGE LOOKS A LOT BETTER TO ME; BUT I DON'T LIVE IN BAY RIDGE ANYMORE --- I HAVEN'T LIVED IN BAY RIDGE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS --- RIGHT NOW, I'M ALMOST A THOUSAND MILES AWAY IN FLORIDA; BEEN HERE FOR JUST UNDER SIX MONTHS --- BAY RIDGE HAS BEEN GOING DOWN HILL FOR MOST OF THE YEARS OF THE MARTY GOLDEN ERA --- SO, LIKE I SAID, BAY RIDGE LOOKS A LOT BETTER TO ME, ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER AWAY THAT I AM <<<

"TRUMP ISN'T A REPUBLICAN OR A CONSERVATIVE" --- HMMMMM !!! WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN ??? --- I'M PRETTY SURE THAT TRUMP WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT AS THE DULY-SELECTED REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IN 2016 --- FOR ALMOST FOUR YEARS, TRUMP GOVERNED AS THE DULY-ELECTED PRESIDENT, SUPPORTING CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN INITIATIVES AND HIGH LEVEL REPUBLICAN FEDERAL NOMINEES; AND STRONGLY OPPOSED AT EVERY TURN BY DEMOCRATS

So Gale supposedly supports Trump and uses that as a pass for a fake GOP blog to try to settle old scores and to attack the local GOP and all its candidates to stay in the good graces of Councilman Fatass. That’s not being a Republican that’s being a cuck.

Your missing big local bklyn GOP news. The Brooklyn GOP voted to de-charter their brooklyn young rep Club led by Joel Acevedo and Jonathan Judge for their active opposition to Trump and support for bail reform. This was after Liam McCabe put another nail in his political coffin and ended Hope's of running for Council by coming to their defense and having his mother in law (and house mate) defend them at the GOP Executive Committee..

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 6:18 AM"

I HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE, WAY BACK IN THE GLORY DAZE OF KCRP CHAIRMAN CRAIG EATON.....

JONATHAN JUDGE MIGHT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE IMPOSSIBLE --- HAVING THE SAME YR CLUB DE-CHARTERED TWICE --- LET'S SEE HOW JUDGE AND ACEVEDO DO WITH THE NYS YR FOLKS, IF THEY WANT TO PUT IN A DEFENSE WITH THEM --- LET'S SEE IF TED GHORRA KNOWS WHAT TO DO NEXT (IF HE STICKS TO FORM, HE'LL LOSE TO JUDGE AND ACEVEDO BY DEFAULT).....

AS FOR LIAM MC CABE WHENEVER HE SEES A FORK IN THE ROAD --- HE TAKES IT --- EITHER WAY, IT ALWAYS TURNS OUT TO BE "THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED" --- BTW, M. SCOTT PECK'S VERSION OF THAT MUCH OVERUSED TITLE IS A BOOK THAT CHRISTINE NEEDS TO READ (IF SHE HASN'T DONE SO ALREADY)..... UNFORTUNATELY, FOR LIAM, IT NEVER TURNS OUT TO BE "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN" (THE FROSTIER, BUT BETTER WAY).....

A more important event happened in my old home town yesterday --- the Bay Ridge Palestinian "Day of Resistance" with a few counter-demonstrators carrying the Blue and White Magen David. It's getting to be time to name Fifth Avenue from 69th to 75th Streets >>> "Demonstration Boulevard".....

I think that >>> I <<< can make that happen --- all I need to do is call my former City Council representative, who has had a hand in several of those demonstrations himself (let's see if anybody goes for that bloody piece of shark bait).....

6:18 when you say the Brooklyn gop voted what are you trying to imply? By saying they voted you’re making them sound like a legitimate organization when in reality they are a joke full of old white men picking fights with people when there are non. Kudos to Liam McCabe for standing up to Toupee Ted.
