PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said:
“This is a celebration of terrorism paid for with your tax dollars. Robert Hayes was a domestic terrorist who murdered one cop and tried to kill five others. The only people mourning his passing are his fellow terrorists and would-be cop-killers. Mayor de Blasio and the City Council are funding the New York Public Library to the tune of $150 million or more a year. If they allow this disgusting event to take place in a library facility, they are supporting terrorism, as well.”
