Bloomberg = Dinkins 2.0
I thought midnight basketball stopped violence.
B-b-b-but guns are BANNED in New Yawk!!!
Hey, Mayor Bloomingidiot, how can this happen? How much more gun control can you implement to make this stop?
Hey, I’ve got a NEW idea for ya.
How about CRIME control. That’s right.
SWIFTLY execute murderers, like the creep that killed this little boy, and crack down on the gangstas. Make their lives as difficult as possible. Sic the IRS on them.
Hey, here’s an idea, DEPORT ILLEGALS.
You need to address crimes like these at the SOURCE.
Just another night in the ghetto.
Not quite. Bloomie hasn't forgotten EVERYTHING he ever learned about business, at least not yet.
The NEXT New York City mayor ("player to be named later") = Dinkins-squared.
Four years of anarchy and THEN Giuliani 2.0.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Broken culture. They need to change themselves. But they will probbaly just blame Whitey instead.
Nanny Bloomberg’s “gun control” at work...
Sounds like they need to plan an additional memorial basketball tournament to honor the dead 4 yr old.....
Ghetto Angels vs. Ghetto Devils
I guess the two shooters were unaware that posession of a handgun is illegal in NYC. It’s the only possible conclusion unless you believe that criminals don’t actually obey laws but that’s just crazy talk.
Isn’t it amazing how Doomberg makes a big political Gun Control plea, as he did after Aurora, and within days he is shown to be such a fool with how well the gun control laws are working in his own city??
Will Sharpton and Jackson make an appearance at the scene and demand that the perps be brought to justice?
Wonder if this shooter was a card-carrying member of the NRA?
Wherever guns are outlawed... gun violence flourishes.
LLS
If we were to ban basketball, this never would have happened.
How long before ABC identifies one of them as a Tea Party member...?
...and Batman.

Wow. Can’t make this stuff up.
I thought midnight basketball stopped violence.

B-b-b-but guns are BANNED in New Yawk!!!The libs already have a propaganda talking point to cover this: federal gun control.
That's the whole point of the UN treaty, to get us on the road to full federal gun control, with federal swat teams breaking into any residence suspected of harboring gun owners.
