New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an ardent gun-control advocate, immediately jumped on the Aurora, Colo., shooting spree to demand the presidential candidates “tell us what they’re going to do about” such mass shootings.

Bloomberg’s remarks came during an interview on WOR News Talk Radio 710 in New York. “Soothing words are nice,” said Bloomberg. “But maybe it’s time the two people who want to be president of the United States stand up and tell us what they’re going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country. And everybody always says, Isn’t it tragic?” …

This neurotic monomaniac would do well to stop worrying about the rest of the country and put his attention on the open cesspool which is New York.

These asshats are so predictable. This morning I was wondering how long it would take before the cries for gun control would start. I’m sure the leftist shrilled will start blaming the tea party and rush limbaugh ( he had talked about some lib trying connect the bane character to Romney - of course that was misreported by the state run media)
Bottom line, this guy was a sick twisted nut. Period.

To be honest, in my gut I wondered about him being I’m some way connected to ows - but didn’t want to jump to conclusions( since I like facts) but if this turns out to be true I’m sure the state run media will be all over it /sarc

The police were of NO HELP in this situation, and the gunman surrendered after he did what he wanted.

The ONLY thing that could have stopped this would have been armed citizens.

Put that in your pipe, Herr Bloomberg.

Back in the 1980’s, I lived in Santa Barbara, California.

An illegal alien from Mexico broke into a young woman’s house and murdered her in her own home.

The next day, the “Santa Barbara News-Press” ran a headline that said, “MEXICAN NATIONAL ACCUSED OF MURDER” or some similar headline. I distinctly remember the words “Mexican National.”

Well, the libs had a collective hissy fit because the killer was called a “Mexican National.” A similar hissy fit happened in 1991 in northern Santa Barbara County when the mayor of Santa Maria mentioned that his city had a “Mexican problem.”

Only when a whites commit a crime is it A-OK to mention the race of the accused.

With NYC gun control laws, it could never happen there.

Right Micheal?

Bloomberg is your typical, bottom-feeding politician. Never let a good human tragedy go to waste. He is one happy, Fluking camper right now. All of Mikey’s hopes, wishes and dreams came true last night. FUMB!!! You commie freak!

No surprise, the Progressive Fascists in the political class are such shameless scum they will not hesitate for a second to try and exploit this tragedy.

It is this sort of sleazy scumbag exploitative behavior that renders people like Bloomberg complete unfit to hold any political office.

POPCORN! WITH SALT!

Have you seen the size of those popcorn containers they sell at theaters?
Disgusting! Deadly!

Yeah.
Popcorn.
That's the ticket.

I am simply amazed that no member of the press has called this The Batman Massacre.
If I remember correctly, today is also the anniversary of the first moon landing.
