Mayor Bloomberg Warns Of Mass Riots If Economy Doesn't Create More Jobs

During his weekly radio show, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned that unless action is taken to help young people find work, the United States is at risk of seeing mass rioting.

"We have a lot of kids graduating college — can't find jobs," Bloomberg said in an exchange first reported by the New York Daily News. "That's what happened in Cairo. That's what happened in Madrid. You don't want those kinds of riots here."

The Cairo riots brought down the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Bloomberg said he welcomed President Barack Obama's jobs plan, saying, "at least he's got some ideas on the table, whether you like those or not."

"Now everybody's got to sit down and say we're actually gonna do something and you have to do something on both the revenue and the expense side," he said.

Bloomberg said he did not agree with Obama's "my way or the highway" approach to his jobs plan, saying there needs to be compromise.

Have you completed your riot protection program?

Will people feel entitled to take what they need if they don't have a job?

Will you be resented if you do have a job? A target?

WPA programs won't work this time.

Prepare Now.

I've gort a huge supply of special "red armbands" prepared FOR SALE to the rioters.

There's no sense at all in wasting a perfectly good crisis.

If we were still AMERICA tyrants like Bloomberg would be wearing tar and feathers and the last few Presidents would be living in exile. Alas, we are a nation of cowardly sheep and never protest our rulers anymore.

Pass the Ritalin, please.

Stephen Lerner (former SEIU puke organizing Days of Rage thing in NYC) will be among the first victims ~ with the ATF itself arranging scenarios you really take a chance being down there on the ground wandering around looking important.

You really need a red armband (like the ones I'm selling) to wear while you watch demonstrations ON TV or ON THE INTERNET.

There are a wide variety of general purpose "heroic action figurines" that can be custom painted with whatever face you imagine. Just set that sucker next to the CRT as you cruise the net looking for the best cell-downloads ~ wearing your arm band ~ drinking Cheongpung Honeyed Korean Red Insam lettingyour conscious being slip easily between your heroic action figurine and yourself, and back, all the while wearing or looking at your armband.

That is how all hard core demonstrators attend their favorite events these days. It's cheap; it's safe; there no visits to the emergency room!

Says who? If healthcare is allocated by age according the "Complete Lives" model, why not the "jobs" that everyone is saying government needs to "create?"

Gawd you're such a dinosaur. Get with it.

But wait. All those young college kids voted Democratic, in large numbers last election.

Perhaps these young unemployed need to turn to the Democrats and ask, “Why?”

Ummmmmmm... Mayor, I don't think it's going to be unemployed college kids rioting. (BLS reported an August unemployment rate of 4.3% for "Bachelor's degree and above". In contrast, the unemployment rate for "black or African Americans" age 16 to 19 years is 46.5%.)

“Well the 50 year olds need jobs too.”

We gotta share the rioting. Spread the rioting around! All part of fairness!

Mikie can hire a bunch! Hell, he has he money. Maybe he and Buffet and Gates can just put the slugs, gangbangers, meth-heads and unemployed Mexican day laborers on their personal payrolls!

It probably will be people with a agenda who don’t like Obamacare.

The unemployed college kids and the so-called ‘teachers’ in Wisconsin are too soft to be good rioters; they might damage their smart phones. The immigrants in NYC during the Civil War draft riots were a different story. Nonetheless, have bought more ammo for the Mossberg and the Mini-14.

If there is going to be riots, then I want the “Pet Rock” and “Pet Brick” concession.

I'll have a sign that says “Buy a Pet Rock / Pet Brick and set it free”
