I think one of the posters to the news story said it best:

"Something tells me that most of them are fingerprinted already."

[BenLurkin]

Oh heck...just go ahead and put a micro-chip in every New Yorker.

It’s “for the children”

[Navy Patriot]

Bloomberg could just tattoo their identification number on their left forearm.

[cookcounty]

Bloomberg is a blooming fascist. Please tell him to get out of Colorado

[lurk]

Mr Bloomberg is quite the controller. New Yorkers must love him.

Good idea, but ACLU will jump on this issue in favor of the criminal elements that inhabit public housing projects.

[GeronL]

600,000 people in NYC are living in public housing ???

How is this sustainable??

[bunkerhill7]

He can get their fingerprints offa discarded jumbo sodas.

[Jim from C-Town]

600,000 out of 8,000,000 is NOT 5%. It is more like 7.5% and in reality it is probably closer to 10% as the census department couldn’t count to eleven without taking off their shoes.

If you live in public housing, then the government is paying your rent. And since you are relying on the government for your survival, then you have given them the right to run your life and tell you what to do. Deal with it, losers.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

If you can’t or won’t protect yourself you do as you are told or die.

[yldstrk]

600,000 people

un frickin believable

[Frank_2001]

THIS, they complain about. Has Bloomie finally gone too far? I bet they will still vote for RATS all the way! /sarcasm

[Veggie Todd]

People in the projects always blame the cops there is too much crime. But whenever a crime happens and the cops show up, the story they hear is “I dint see nuffins.”

[King Moonracer]

All the Wall Street people paying taxes are finger printed, why not them?

[Popman]

Who knew Bloomberg was an equal opportunity nanny stater...

[metmom]

When someone goes on the dole, there should be some accountability.

If they don’t want to give up their *rights*, then go out and get a job like the rest of us.

[eyedigress]

It’s a great idea bloomy. Why stop there? DNA and Retina ID should be required for any and all public assistance. You are a fascist BTW.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

“That’s like invading someone’s privacy or something. Why you want to fingerprint somebody? It is bad enough you get arrested, you get finger printed, so why you want to fingerprint us? Now Bloomberg needs to get a job. Get out of here already. He’s done. Bloomberg is done,” Chelsea Houses resident Nino Alayon said.

When you accept goodies from the gubmint, this is what will happen. I have no sympathy for these people.

Go Doomberg go!

[dforest]

I can understand the outrage of these folks, but I still had to chuckle.

Not because I am mean, but because Bloomberg is different than most lefties. He doesn’t even bother to hide the endgame.

The people who are so upset really do not get that there are, and always have been, invisible meat hooks in them the minute they take what is given to them by the government that was made possible by confiscation from those who do work.

They probably are unable to believe that those freebies they love so much do not give them respect. They are owned and totally dependent.

They day is coming quickly where the meat hooks will be very visible. They will do as they are told or lose the goodies from Uncle Sugar.

The government can take away as easily as they hand it out.

Bloomberg just cuts to the chase. I guess that is good in a way, at least people know what to expect! LOL
