Sensible New Yorkers didn’t need yet another reason to vote against Zohran Mamdani for mayor, but Monday’s horrific Midtown slaughter provided a clear illustration of why the radical Democrat must not win the keys to City Hall.
Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his wedding, but his initial statement on X about the bloodbath on Park Avenue rings hollow given his past smears of the NYPD and repeated calls to “defund the police.”
“I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts,” Mamdani posted on X late Monday.
“Grateful for all of our first responders on the ground.”
By the time of that statement, Mayor Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch already had visited the scene and identified the dead officer as Didarul Islam, 36, who was killed while providing off-duty lobby security for 345 Park Ave.
