Andy could always raise taxes for that loot, no?

Cuomo and DeBlasio are gambling when they empower a mob that loots and burns while “protesting”. Imagine for a moment that the protesters, enraged that the Democrat liberals situate their abortion clinics in black neighborhoods, turn their anger and rage on these institutions near and dear to Democats Cuomo and DeBlasio. How would the police respond. They are a bit out of practice controlling mobs.

He’s Pontius Pilate when it comes to that - he’ll wash his hands of it and say it was Trump’s fault, go sue him.

All deliberate maneuvering to disrupt the Presidential elections, no matter who gets hurt. They also know a lot of small business people vote conservatively. The level of evil involved in a grab for power matches that of all despots throughout history.

Even if he doesn't win, I hope discovery will publicize a lot of Cuomo's and De Blasio's private files and communications on this. And with that in mind I would love to see a similar class action suit from relatives of those killed in New York's Nursing Home/Corona Death Camps.

I wonder what I would do. Join the class in the hopes of a small payout but no legal costs for me? Or hang back and move in when after the suit finishes in the hopes the litigants will win.
Face it, class actions pay pennies to everyone in the class. Only the lawyers win big.

In that case it was negligence/slow response of the police (if I read the case correctly).
In this case the cops were SPECIFICALLY ORDERED not to respond.
The Warren case may have been different had the DC Mayor called the precinct ant told it specifically to ignore the 911 call.

Cuomo gave aid and comfort to the enemy. The bagpipe player will get right on it.

Hope he wins as well.
If he does decide to re-open, he’s going to need to put the Roof Koreans on speed dial.

Up until the 1960s, many states had laws that made cities responsible for damage to property caused by riots and looting. They were a part of Eminent Domain laws, known as reverse condemnation. By government decision (or indecision), police giving up protecting certain quarters, etc... private property was taken by the mob.
These laws were quite common, generally until Democrats took control of most urban centers by the 1960s.

When will the relatives that Cuomo killed in nursing homes sue him for mass murder?

Basically, the city and state government owe a duty to the individual storefronts to protect them,” attorney Sal Strazzullo said Friday on Fox & Friends.
Actually they dont. SCOTUS has ruled so repeatedly.
