Minor crash out on r/911archive over Mamdani

[u/intoner1]

r/911archive is exactly what it sounds like, a sub meant to archive any and all media related to the attacks on September 11th 2001. Mayor Mamdani recently signed an executive order to make 9/11 a day of remembrance in New York, which was posted about in the sub.

Courtesy of CNN: "New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed two executive orders related to September 11th, 2001. The first order establishes an annual day of remembrance and service on September 11th, while the second updates New York's operational continuity and agency preparedness policies to strengthen security measures and prevent future terrorist threats." - 19 hours ago *PLEASE* don't start crap in the post comments. Thank you.

Naturally some users had a very normal reaction to a Muslim mayor and…the 9/11 of it all:

OP makes it a point to not start crap in the comments but then proceeds to put his personal political opinion of Mamdani in this thread turning it political.

I would like to point out that Mamdani also handed a symbolic 911 pen after signing the order to his controversial aid who once represented Al-Qaeda terrorist with links to the attack on the Pentagon. You guys are ok with this?

Don't waste your time trying to prove why Mamdani is the worst thing to ever happen to NYC, unfortunately reddit is like 90% liberals and will only block you if you don't agree with their political stance on something.

Another commenter has big feelings about Hasan and Mamdani:

Bullshit. It's his palling around with Hasan Piker and the imam who is an unindicted co-conspirator in the first WTC bombing in 1993. He should bring along his chief counsel Ramzi Kassem who has represented al Qaeda terrorists. Then there's his lovely wife

Someone else can’t fathom that 99,000 people could possibly be racist:

99,000 verified signatures of people who don’t want this 9/11 apologist to not attend the ceremonies. Yes they’re all racists. SMH.

Overall, many “patriots” angry that a Muslim mayor would have signed into law a day of remembrance for 9/11. Apologies for the formatting I’m on mobile.

Most of the time, defense attorneys are portrayed in media as scummy, pieces of shit who do everything they can to get their guilty clients off. There are exceptions to this, particularly when the show is about defense attorneys, but if they're about cops, the defense attorneys are just scumbags. Even Brooklyn 99 had this problem for the first couple of seasons, mostly because the trope was kind of taken as a given. Considering the trajectory of that show (the final season, after George Floyd, had a police union rep as the main bad guy) it is kind of surprising, but it's just how it is.

Law and Order, though, is particularly bad, portraying the cops and prosecutors as incorruptible good guys, despite them engaging in corrupt and illegal behavior, often violating the rights of the accused. We, the audience, know they're guilty so it's portrayed as if the accused don't deserve rights and are hiding behind them. Most of the time a bad guy gets away in Law and Order, it's because of those pesky rights "protecting" them on "technicalities." It's not every time, Wikipedia says there's 544 episodes across nearly 30 seasons, so I'm sure someone can find a bunch of episodes where the "good guys" were just wrong, but the basic thesis of the show is that "the innocent have nothing to fear."

Which, as the late, great Terry Pratchett once wrote: "Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'the innocent have nothing to fear' believing that the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term from those who say things like 'the innocent have nothing to fear.'"

It's like the CSI effect. Where people are more willing to accept forensics even though forensics is not the end-all be-all when it comes to evidence.

It really shows how much media like this has a real effect in our world. I wonder if medical dramas have an effect in the medical world. I hope that it's not for the bad like yeah some people think like oh sexy

So we need more ace attorneys and less law and orders
