Mayor Bloomberg Warns Of Rioting If Unemployment Remains High
September 16, 2011 5:08 PM
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Pedestrians were seemingly content on the streets of upper Manhattan Friday, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg believes there’s an undercurrent of economic distress that could upset the tranquil street scene.
“You have a lot of kids graduating college, can’t find jobs, that’s what happened in Cairo. That’s what happened in Madrid. You don’t want those kind of riots here,” Bloomberg said on his Friday morning radio show.
Mentioning these street protests overseas during a gloomy assessment of economic prospects in the u-s.
“The damage to a generation that can’t find jobs will go on for many, many years,” he added.

I hope they riot right on up to his Park Avenue Penthouse (or wherever this asshat lives) and show him a thing or two....
And what has this idiot done to lower unemployment in New York City?
How many business hours are lost in NYC because secretaries and others have to take an elevator down to the street in order to grab a smoke?
Time to riot against Bloomberg’s smoking police.
Gerald Celente: When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.
There was an article here today about a Seattle P.I. writer that just got his last unemployment insurance check, with no job in sight. What do you suppose will happen when hundreds of thousands or millions suddenly find themselves in the same position?
No wonder they want to keep extending it.
I think it’s an incredibly irresponsible thing for the Mayor to say. New York City is not part of some fourth-world country like Egypt. I believe the citizens of New York respect the rule of law and order, civility enough to imagine them resorting to riots as the Mayor made reference to.
He would have served the community better by giving the $50 million to build up jobs rather than giving it to the Sierra Club to close down the coal plants , and the further loss of jobs.
I am sure that he is well protected and insulated from any violence that he is trying to ferment . I beleive such publicity may encourage the violence and provide legitimacy to a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. Then he can say: “I told you so ! “
“What do you suppose will happen when hundreds of thousands or millions suddenly find themselves in the same position?”
They’ll still vote Democrat.

But unlike Cairo where the people did not vote for Mubarak most of these College weenies voted for Obama.
That kind of support structure can break down very, very quickly, especially if he's an asshole to his protection team. Give it a week or two weeks of chaos and he's riot meat, and everything in his abode is salvaged by his 'team' and then looters...
The veneer of civilization is much thinner than most people allow themselves to believe.
Well you’re a billionaire Bloomberg. Give us a job!
My husband's company and his vendors cannot keep up with work right now. They are trying to fill the gaps with temporary employees, most of whom work a day or two and then quit - the people say they can "do better on unemployment" and without having to work as hard.
—They’ll still vote Democrat.—
That is not the “lose it” that Gerald Celente was talking about. By next November they will be months after the end of the checks.
Let them riot. That kind of problem will mostly affect liberal, welfare bastions like NYC, SF, LA, Chicago, and etc.
Forgive me if I won’t care while the left reaps what they’ve sown.
It won’t be the college graduates who do the rioting. More likely those who can barely write their own name. Of course that does include a few college grads. More like Amish youths.
Perhaps, the NYC Liberal schmuck is thinking of We The People with Pitchforks in DC? Anyone know for sure?
Not just that, but how much business in general was lost when Bloominidiot forced the smokers out of the neighborhood bars?
Time to riot against Bloomberg’s smoking police.
And the rest of them elsewhere. Those ban were supposedly to protect the health of workers and would increase business - well they have done neither as it's hard to maintain good health when your job goes away because there are no more customers.
