Mayor Bloomberg...cops should strike across the country...pressure on Congress...crack down on guns
NY Daily News ^ | Erin Durkin & Kenneth Lovett

Mayor Bloomberg suggested Monday that cops should go on strike to spur the nation’s leaders to get serious about cracking down on guns.

“I don’t understand why the police officers across his country don’t stand up collectively and say, ‘We’re going to go on strike. We're not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what's required to keep us safe,” Bloomberg said on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.”

Mayor Bloomberg had jumped the shark on this.

First sodas and now guns? Nothing sacred in NYC???

I think he’s ready for one of those tight-fitting, body-hugging white jackets. JMHO....

When Bloombutt sends his ARMED guards home, we’ll talk. Until then, we needs guns to protect us, too!

From numerous anti-communist Chinese websites. Just google China executions. That is a tame one. That woman’s photo is just one in a string on that roll of film, with her shattered head, dead on the ground photos following. Note that the two “apprentice executioners” have to hold her while turning away to avoid blood spatter. At least she died fighting back. But unarmed, what can anybody do?

You mean that Mayor Bloomberg is not protected by a ring of dancing Hare Krishas, armed with good karma?

THAT’S his secret? Well, crap. I told the last HK to get lost when I should have befriended them for the security detail! Those little flowers have more power to them than I thought.

The only motive that has ever made sense for the rise of socialism (including it's offspring ideologies) and progressive policy in general is the lust for absolute power. They desire nothing less than a return to world tyrannies and the subjugation of the individual where they can wield absolute power over us like little wannabe gods.

There you go; that sums it up quite well doesn't it?

(As I read your excellent post and was nodding my head in agreement I wondered who the poster was... When I got to the end and saw your handle, I must confess that I didn't recognize it, but then read your tagline and chuckled to myself since it is the tagline that I've used for the bulk of my relatively short time here!)

Mayor Bloomberg...cops should strike across the country...
Okay Mikey. I'll see your bet. And RAISE -- I'm 'all in' asshat.

With no police around us armed citizens could then REALLY carry out 'justice and the law'. Of course your demonRAT voting bloc will be greatly reduced and Sanitation Departments will be really really busy doing the required 'clean up'.

There's also a lot of other pluses to the 'No Cops': More Public Housing will be available. Food Stamp numbers will drop to an all time low. Nobody will be getting FREE cell phones. Welfare costs will drop like a rock. Store Robberies will become non existent. Jail and Prison spaces will open up. Etc, etc, etc. Heck, after a short time 'society' will again be polite, and one will safely be able to go anywhere they want or need without fear of being Flash Mobbed, Mugged, Raped, get caught in a Drive By, or a victim of 'Knock Em Out Games'.

However Mikey be forewarned that the residents of your city, and a lot in Rahm's new 'kingdom' will be at a distinct disadvantage as they're brainwashed about not protecting themselves. So the number of liberals will also drop for a time. Hopefully they'll quickly get their sanity back and know 'what needs to be done'.

But the biggest plus of 'No Cops' is that the FedGov will be saving so much money the deficit could be wiped out in three years. Ditto for states and cities.

Sooooo Mikey, you 'all in', or do you fold?

ya see Mikey, I still believe that Americans CAN BE Americans again - Self Reliant -- and do what needs to be done -- where and when it's required. Like protecting ourselves, our families and our property.

Bloomberg is a walking-talking example of what the Founders had in mind when they created the 2nd Amendment in the first place.

I used to have a JFK quote which I found ironical but people got the wrong idea. Then I had a Jefferson quote but he varied in ideological purity depending on his audience. I've gone through a bunch including nothing at all. This quote spoke to me hence there it is.

I’m in favor of that! Once the police are on strike, real Americans can stand up and take out the trash!

Then it will be safe to walk the streets again for years.

Perhaps they don't do that, because we'd realize how little we actually need the overpaid tax collectors.

I was born and raised in NY.
I spent a lot of time in the city, and I loved it there.

The people I knew were wonderful.
My heart hurt when I had to be away and I couldn't wait to go back home again.

People like Bloomberg are the reason I don't even go there anymore.
Seems like arrogant liberal know-it-alls have increased like an infection since Sept 11 2001.

and ps. freedom towers?...are you friggin kidding me?
Who's freedom would that be...?

mikey can continue to destroy nyc if they'll let him, but he can't have my guns.

He is protected by armed security guards who are probably members of the NYPD. He won’t let his personal police force go on strike, just the police working around the commoners and peons. He’s an arrogant blowhard.

And WHY is this schmuck still in the RNC?

He isn't.

I'm sorry, I don't know where in the world I ever got the impression this guy was in the RNC. Altho, in my defense, some RINO's do sound this way some times...
