The only thing Mayor Bloomberg hasn't laid out yet is the smoking inspector's priorities: If he sees a smoker
at one table, a crack dealer at another table and Osama bin Laden at a third table, who does he go after?

Man, what a dilemma for Mayor Bloomie.

Clearly according to the Nicco Nazis the police should shoot the smoker, ask the crack dealer to move on and leave Ossama alone because they do not wish to racially profile.

As far as I'm concerned, the U.S. officially lost the "war on terror" the moment New York City decided that eliminating smoking was worth this kind of effort.

It seems when they tried this in California, the vice squad quickly learned smokers respond a lot more emphatically than prostitutes and drug dealers who think getting busted is part of the cost of doing business.

The average smoker thinks of himself as a law abiding citizen and is likely to take offense at getting nailed with a fine or penalty.

The injury rate for cop and citizen skyrocketed during smoking confrontations.

Have not heard any updates recently about how the situation was resolved.

Best regards,

Whatever the outcome, it'll be fun to watch!

WHAT'S A BUTT-COP TO DO?

Give out tickets for butt piracy?

[putupon]

Mayor Bloomberg is the hole @ the center of the Butt-Cop, IMHO

You arrest the smoker to fine he/she/it to raise money.

You leave the crack dealer alone, as he is protected Diversity small business owner. He is part of an important voter block that voted several times to give the mayor his term.

Then, you ignore Osama because of the cost of pre trial and trial. It is cheaper to let him blow up buildings with people in them because you will get money from the feds and people around America.

Why does NYC ban guns?
Because guns smoke.
