(1,008 posts)31. Pat Lynch is the textbook case of a 'bully'
Big mouth, aggressive demeanor and open disrespect for anyone that can't fight back at his level. In the case of a mayor, that means the responsibilities of the post require a more mature persona.
But here's a sad truth: Like many rage-filled high school bullies, Lynch has followers. He's a smirking center of discord and mob action. He's the equivalent of a HS jock, the rich kid, the brat with a cool car - an old school thug-style union boss in a big east coast metropolis that loves that crap.

if "Black Lives Matter" gets blamed for the deaths of NY officers, why isn't the far-right blamed

This needs to be posted more often, and I wish there was a way to get Lynch to answer in public!
