famous last words

Michael Bloomberg has gone from the mildly amusing nanny-statist with a slight authoritarian streak and an uncertain political provenance that New Yorkers seem to love, to an alarmingly full-blown fascist and a very arrogant example of one at that.
Shut him down, now. Do whatever you can to undermine his viability for national office. No presidential run, if he gets the mantle of being the bestower of free stuff, the fools will elect him.
Or I am going to start wearing one to keep my privacy!
OMG! I hate this oppression!
Half this stuff we would not need if the progressive, liberals in government would just do their jobs AND immigration would enforce the existing laws!
Stuff like this is not even closing the barn door! Cameras will stop terrorsts? No they won’t...they didn’t stop the Boston bombers and they were photographed numerous times! Terrorists don’t care if they are on camera! In fact, they actually want you to see who they are!
famous last words
Why does anyone still live in NYC? I’d have fled for the nearest exit after Bloomberg showed his totalitarian spots.
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." Beginning on page 411 of the 35th Anniversary Edition of Atlas Shrugged
Bloomberg: New Yorkers will ‘never know where our cameras are’
I already understood that Bloomberg was an idiot. Now I know he is stupid also. People hack into the Department of Defense and this asswad thinks he can hide cameras in New York City?
“The privacy issue has really been taken off the table,” Kelly said Thursday. “I don’t think people are concerned about it. I think people accept it in a post-9/11 world.”
Okay. So if news reporters/camera folks start following you around 24 hours a day recording everyone you meet and everywhere you go, you have no problem with that Mr Kelly?
How will anyone know if they are placed in reasonable places, if the only people who know where they are, are the thugs in govt?
If they abuse the Fourth Amendment - then your fall back is the Second Amendment!
Capish?
I just had an interesting thought. The most obvious “unintended consequence” to a surveillance state is the advent of the Head to toe cloak aka burqa and a mask. ALL IDENTICAL,then what will they do with their cameras if everyone on the street looks the same, same color, same style, same mask?
And I won’t consider it surrender to Islam, I’ll consider it a Passive-Aggressive battle against overweening authority.
If New York City has indeed decided that it no longer wants to exist as an American city governed by constitutional laws and principles it is the duty of every free American to defend the Nation against the spread of such corruption.
I can’t even explain why this is a stupid statement.
I feel safer knowing that New Yorkers are being watched by cameras.
SIEG HEIL!!!!!!
Der BloombergerFuhrer hat gespeaken!!!!!!!
"The Citizen Tracking application has unexpectedly quit. Searching for solution..."
Think so.
When I lived in Corpus Christi, TX. some genius came up with the idea of prosecuting innocent people for what they called the “popular crimes”.
Popular crimes were crimes being pushed by some advocacy group in the news like MADD.
They believed it was a crime fighting technique because innocent people talk about it amongst their friends more than guilty people do so their friends were less likely to commit the crime.
Sooner or later they have to justify everything they are doing, which means they have to find people to prosecute.
People can and do make false claims of feeling threatened by what someone has said or done.
If you think you are immune to having someone make a false claim against you, you are wrong.
I’d really like to visit N.Y., but not gonna happen. I wouldn’t spend one plug nickel in that state.
Bloomie’s a freakin commie b@st@rd.
Last summer I took a trip to NYC for business. Believe me, you want a NYC to exist because the alternative is to let these idiots roam free across the nation. The locals are what happens if you grow up in some sort of twisted psychological experiment involving a city sized isolation chamber. They seemed to have no understanding of what actually happens elsewhere in the world on a real level. If I never go back, it will be way too soon.
