2020 Presidential candidate and former mayor of New York, Mike Bloomberg, is catching heat for some disturbing comments he made about a father and son who passed away from an accidental overdose. On a political panel uploaded by the Bermuda Broadcasting company in March 2019, Bloomberg referenced a New York Daily News article about the tragic heroin overdoses of 44-year-old Joseph Andrade and his son Carlos in order to demonize the legalization of marijuana.

The ex-Stop-and-Frisk advocate decided it was a good idea to criticize the father, son duo and label them 'not a good family,' due to their struggles with addiction. During a brief segment during the panel, Bloomberg proudly states:

"The New York Post or the Daily News had a picture on the front page where a father and a son, they both OD'd at the same party," he said. "It's not a good family. It's craziness. And then we are going hellbent for whether in this country to legalize marijuana, another addictive drug."

Bloomberg also stated that the majority of America's youth are willing to join the Armed Forces, but only 25% of the population has the ability to read and write and are fit enough to join the military. Of course, with the clip resurfacing, Twitter wasn't having it and went in on the potential future POTUS. Check out some of the Tweets of the masses ripping Michael Bloomberg to shreds below:

Headlines over the past week have been rather bizarre and extremely tragic, but this past Sunday (Jan. 26), a group of New Yorkers restored a little bit of faith in the world when they came together to helped free a woman pinned under a vehicle. The New York Daily News was able to obtain a report from the NYPD stating that a 65-year-old woman in a Mercedes SUV struck a 25-year-old woman after making a right turn at an intersection in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. 

The accident caused the pedestrian that was hit by the SUV to be trapped under the vehicle unable to free herself from her unfortunate disposition. Fortunately, multiple bystanders that witnessed the accident stepped up, gently lifted the vehicle, and helped the young escape from underneath the car. 

The nearby-New Yorkers were able to keep the 25-year-old calm until authorities arrived on the scene. While under the care of the firemen who arrived at the scene, the woman was seen visibly conscious and on her phone. She was later transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for minor injuries including abrasions and bruising. 

As for the 65-year-old SUV driver, she will have to appear in court for failing to yield at an intersection. Thank the powers that be for all parties being able to leave this unfortunate accident with their lives and shout to the pedestrians that came together to help another patron in need.
