Michael Bloomberg, New York Citys nanny mayor, slammed Detroit in a Tweet just after noon Tuesday heralding a record-low murder rate in the Big Apple. It the Tweet Bloomberg said, Last year we had a record-low 419 murders. But instead of thanking law enforcement or crediting New Yorkers he went on to insult Detroit.

As I said the other day, I would rather live in Detroit where I have freedom to protect myself than live in Boomturd's concentration camp where I can be arrested for trying.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Given a choice between Detroit with no safety, or New York with no freedom, I'll decline. I'll live away from either city and drink my Big Gulp whenever I want, carrying my choice of firearm with the magazine I have chosen.
I'll happily take Sarah over what Bloomberg has turned the Statue of Liberty into.

What's the matter, Bloomberg, still can't get over how the Tigers "murdered" the Yankees in the playoffs last year?

But Mike, overall crime in the city is on the rise. You got lucky on the murder rate.

I always question how murder rates are compiled.
I know that Detroit counts all killings as murder even if they’re justified homicide. (Defensive killing) Detroit leads the nation in Justified Homicide. Detroit also tends to count surrounding suburbs as Detroit.

NYC is run by/for the WallST Bankers.
Deeetroit is run by/for the Welfare Drug dealers.
Different brands of Criminals—is all the difference twixt the two.
In terms of $$$$$$$$$$ damage—the bankers are worse.

Don’t tell Bloomturd there’s a massive salt mine under Detroit, he’ll threaten us with a red line and want to call in airstrikes.

Seems like Bloomberg is confused between the differences of New Korea (New York) and New Africa (Detroit.)

“murder rate” is a misnomer. it’s “homocide rate.” and there’s no such thing as “justified homocide” in nyc.
