NEW YORK CITY MAYOR FUMED OVER 'SMOKING' ON STAGE AT STONES CONCERT; BAND RACED OUT OF GARDEN AVOIDING COPS

**Exclusive**

New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is fuming mad over Rolling Stones members smoking on stage at Madison Square Garden during an nationally televised concert this weekend, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The mayor sent cops to issue summonses," one stage source told the DRUDGE REPORT late Saturday. "But the cops watched the show, off stage, by a monitor, instead of stopping the concert."

HBO cameras captured band members Keith Richards and Ron Wood smoking cigarettes while performing.

"The band raced out of the Garden after they finished their last number, avoiding the police," an insider said. "The music had not even finished playing; and they were in cars already, spinning away. The did not even go to their dressing rooms!"

In December, ex-smoker Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed a strict smoking ban in New York City.

Bloomberg is also trying to get smoking banned in Central Park.

Developing...

[Libertina]

LOL Well, that's a good method too. ;)

[EGPWS]

If every smoker in New York City "lit up" what on earth could they do? Arrest them?

Most likely.

Where would they put them?

A nut like Bloomberg, I'm sure, hasn't though that far ahead.

Fine them?Yep!

Who's going to process the paperwork and who would pay the fine anyway?

New administrators hired as required will process the paperwork, and of course the "We the People tax payers" will pay for it.

[Darksheare]

Yes, a kind of sick and twisted method, but I'm sure it would work.
If only it could be applied...
I'm sure the firefighters of the firehouses Bloomberg wants to shutdown/ has shutdown would love it.

[Cultural Jihad]

Regardless, the good people of New York have established their own laws and regulations regarding public behaviors, as is their sovereign right to do so.

[Darksheare]

Except as when lorded and mandated by the idiots they (NYC) voted in.
New york City ends up with a fraudulent vote rate that shames the rest of the state as well as pretty much negating it's vote power.
Then there's the crap they sign in withuot so much as puttin git out to vote.
Like the smoking ban.

[Darksheare]

Crap, I'm in a hurry and typing too fast.

[Mears]

New York police can arrest a smoker but if they arrest an illegal alien they cannot turn them in to the IRS.

Go figure!!!!

[Cultural Jihad]

Are you alleging that the self-governance of New York City is invalid? You will have to provide the proof, rather than just the mere conjecture and idle speculation.

[Darksheare]

Why so defensive of the idiots that The DEAR City voted in?

[Darksheare]

But.. but.. They Can't PROFILE!!
That's RACISM!!
*mimics Liberal whiny shake of empowerment.. looks like a Bowel movement standing up*

I know, isn't that a hoot?

[Darksheare]

As for proof, just look at Hillary! being voted in. Her election to that office is not legit. Check it out, voting machines were disabled.
Reported here on FR.

[Darksheare]

Besides, I live in New York state.

[Senator Pardek]

Regardless, the good people of New York have established their own laws and regulations regarding public behaviors, as is their sovereign right to do so.

The good people of California want medical marijuana legal, and the good people of Oregon want doctor assisted suicide.

No objections from you, right? - LOL!

[VermiciousKnid]

As for proof, just look at Hillary! being voted in. Her election to that office is not legit.

You're right, you know...my Gradfather voted for Hillary! last time 'round...

Only one probelem, though. The man's been DEAD FOR FIFTY YEARS! (My 100-year-old Nana got a "thanks for your support" letter from the NYC DNC and my aunt opened it; that's how we knew).

Regards,

PS: Bloomberg proves himself to be more of an idiot as each day passes. I hope to see MASSIVE diobedience of this stupid, stupid law.

[Cultural Jihad]

As I said, you would have to offer the proof rather than the speculation and conjecture. That's the nature of debate, after all. The person alleging a statement has to bear the burden of proof.

[ConservativeMan55]

I agree. I hope to see massive civil disobedience of this "law"

[Cultural Jihad]

None whatsoever, Senator.

[Harley109]

Geeze! This guy would have cited John Lennon if he had been given a death bed drag off a cigartte on his way to the emergency room in 1980.

Has this Mayor no shame?

Correction: Assisting in suicide should be a crime, since it infringes on the inalienable right to life.
