"Thank you, 'Mayor' McKenzie! Johns Hopkins is a great school, and they'd be lucky to have you!..."

"We'll do more to drive down crime even further at public housing sites by using GPS technology to enforce court orders prohibiting gang members from setting foot on public housing property. To build on the gains we've made reducing domestic violence, we'll open a new Family Justice Center in the Bronx - like the ones we created in Brooklyn and Queens, which have become national models. And we'll develop a computer database enabling the NYPD to step up home interventions - and save more lives.
"Saving more lives is why we've taken on an issue that the skeptics say is a national problem that cities can't affect: illegal guns. Well, let me tell you: they couldn't be more wrong -and we're proving it.
"By winning passage in Albany of the toughest law in the country against illegal possession of a loaded gun, more criminals are spending at least a year in prison. By suing the out-of-state gun dealers we caught breaking the law, we've reduced the flow of guns entering our city from those states. And those dealers are now under court-appointed monitors to shape up, or pay up.
"Last year, our bi-partisan coalition of Mayors Against Illegal Guns won another major victory: a 'Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership' with the nation's largest seller of firearms: Wal-Mart. It establishes ten basic practices that will reduce the likelihood that guns will be sold to illegal traffickers. This year, we'll work with Speaker Quinn and the Council to require the city's own gun dealers to follow similar practices. And I'll a sign an Executive Order directing all City agencies to submit mental health records to the Justice Department's background check system on gun sales - so the next Virginia Tech massacre doesn't happen here.
"We'll also ask the State Legislature to require all guns sold in New York to include micro-stamping technology, which helps police connect crime scenes to guns, and to require gun dealers to conduct background checks on everyone they hire. Would you let a convicted drug dealer work in a drug store? Not a chance. It's just common sense.
This is just an excerpt. I didn't read all of Bloomderg's drivel, and I don't know if he wrote all of it.
Holy smokes. That first paragraph reads like something out of “1984.”
“enabling the NYPD to step up home interventions”
The “War On Men” and the United Police State of America, NYC version.
“Would you let a convicted drug dealer work in a drug store? Not a chance. It’s just common sense”
Would I elect Michael Bloomberg mayor of my city? Not a chance. It’s just common sense.
NY has imploded on this guy’s watch.
For the record, Boss Bloomberg is an Independent not a Republican. He was Republican when it only served his agenda. He has no party affiliation because he is a government to himself. His policies are fascist.
I hope he never becomes anything beyond Mayor and I hope his time at that is limited.
Bloomberg was probably beat up in high school. He’s taking it out on the entire city now. Too bad I didn’t go to high school with him.
Do they even check that?
