PLEASE do do some fact checking before jumping on the Bloomberg bandwagon.


RNC 2004, Bloomberg has NYPD arrest +2000 protestors (many were not doing any protesting, just crossing the street). Locks up everyone in barbwire topped cages. Like a zoo. City loses biggest lawsuit in history. NYC $taxpayers out $17M.

Marijuana arrests: not thousands, not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands were arrested for simple posession under his term. Not a ticket, you went to jail.

Just think about that for a moment, able to put up barbwire cages in NYC in a week, arrests over 2000 people.

Has no issues arresting hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers for something he has a problem with.

And now he wants to take everyones guns away?

Not sure how popular he's going to be.

Destroying the heart and soul of NYC. How he did it, step by step.

It's just a wasteland now of chain drug store fronts and banks. Sure tourists areas are nice, but what about the rest of us?

But he was pretty good with tech, if that counts.
