It looks like Nanny Bloomers is going to have something else to ban. It won’t be too long before we see a No Laughing Ordinance in New Yawk.

Bad enough it was a Nassau County suburb on Lawn Guyland to present the idea to the media.

He has no legal say over affairs on Long Island. People make it seem like him and Cuomo are co-governors.

Maybe he just woke up from a 52 month sleep and a neighbour told him Obama was the president of the good ol’ U.S.A.

He laughed louder than a car driving by?
It’s a shame he didn’t eat beans and “F**ted in a general direction” when he was arrested. The neighbor needs to buy a sense of humor. Was this man laughing at an obama voter?

Comment: Stuff that are happening lately are just too ridiculous and stupid. It’s as if something is starting to build up and soon will explode. Something is just asking for it.

The Rockville Centre Police Department said they issued the summonses after receiving complaints about an ongoing pattern of noisemaking.

“On two occasions, police actually observed this individual creating a disturbance directed at neighbours and in violation of local law,” police said in a statement.

1]Did they observe the taunting the guy said he regularly receives from the neighbor?
2]Do they have nothing better to do than to stake out this guy to see if he laughs?

Pa-effin-thetic.

Funny. Rockville Centre is where I got knocked off the steel and fell 3 floors hurting my back, thus ending 15 years iron-working.

Since the decriminalization of real crime, the police have to make arrests to get the numbers up. Big soda cups and kids eating pop tarts will do to get the arrest numbers up.
Meanwhile, physical attacks on innocent citizens continue.

“Pathetic.”

No, just a method to ensure The State has more money in its coffers.

The State netted $500 from this man; the Agents of the State will be praised for extracting more money from the serfs.

Well at least he wasn’t next to John Wesley Hardin, who shot a man just for snoring.
