Mayor Bloomberg questioned about his armed security

[jaykellogg]

A credentialed reporter asked Mayor Bloomberg if he would consider disarming his security detail. The Mayor mumbled he would get back to him on that and then the Mayors beefy security detail blocked the reporter's access. When the reporter left he was followed by a NYPD Officer Stockton who questioned the reporter and followed him for two blocks.

Boys and girls, you can't make this stuff up.

I seen that on fox. Their daddy knows how much coke is good for them, a lot of "little people" there must love him to elect him.

 

[Old cop]

Yup, the only way to stop a bad guy w/a gun is a good guy w/a gun, truer words were never spoken. Why else would the mayor, as well as every other elected official w/an armed security detail, duck this obvious question?

 

[Lenny_D]

I saw the same hypocrisy when the President called the NRA add, asking if his daughters were more important than ours regarding armed security exploiting and cowardly, on the same day he was standing in front of about 10 children while explaining his new proposals for gun control!

Should we all wait for Mr. Bloomberg to "get back" to this reporter on whether or not the mayor will be disarming his security detail in keeping with his anti-gun philosophy?

Just another elitist windbag who knows what's best for everyone.

Senator Feinstein carried a gun for personal protection.

Too bad that the little people are not that important.

 

[rchance]

I hope somebody post here when he does get back so I can see his response. That's too funny. That's like saying we all need to eat good food while eating a cupcake in the process.

 

[nawilson]

Oh, come on guys... Don't you know these people are far more important than anyone else? The rest are just common, little people who exist to pay taxes and elect the important people.

This is the same deranged man that said the idea that a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun was "The stupidest thing he'd ever heard".
He also believes that police nation-wide should go on strike until all of us criminals concede to strict gun control.

Hillbilly77-Thanks for posting Bud-I would not have believed it, if I hadn't actually heard it. Just when you thought you had heard it all...

Don't forget boys and girls, you can not buy a extra large soda or "pop" in a restaurant in NYC but you can in a 7-11 type store as they do not yet regulate those stores.

Of course you can have 12 doughnuts or bagels as those carbs are not bad for you!

A peek into the mind of an apparent lunatic.
This is the mindset that we're up against.

 

[leswad]

If you look at the video the reporter is actually asking the questions with a 32 oz. Coke in his hand... Greatness!

I loved when he offered the Mayor a sip of his soda.

Bloomberg is also the billionaire who bought his way into the NYC mayor's office, then decided to change the long standing term limits law so he could stay on another few years.

 

[Maddog 521]

They are all "Elitist" and we are all "peasants". In my opinion that is what needs to be changed.

 

[A10]

I wonder if his called for strike includes NYPD?

 

[radar1972]

He's a poster child for HYPOCRITE.

 

[perrazi]

i say let all the police strike. i bet then we will get rid of a bunch of criminals that the liberal judges couldn't. open season and no bag or possession limits.

He is just mighty lucky they didn't drag him into an alley and beat the stuffings out of him. If he is smart he will not try that in Chicago...

 

[DeezNutz70]

Heres a thought......the Police can't do anything until AFTER a crime has been commited against you, your loved ones or your personal property. Of couse Bloomberg wont disarm his personal security detail any more than Feinstein would give up her CC permit or her CCW. What exactly makes their personal safety more important than mine/my families? NOTHING! How do they justify limiting/eliminating the options of us LAW ABIDING responsible gun owners while they themselves benefit from fully armed security details who carry LARGE CAPACITY MAGS in FULLY AUTOMATIC weapons? THEY CANT! Not realistically. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. If they want to limit me then the only right thing for them to do would be limit themselves too but we all know how that will work out now dont we?

 

[cmort666]

I am nauseated by sniveling cowards telling other people they don't need guns to protect themselves, while hiding behind phalanxes of men armed with machine guns.

 

[revho]

The only thing better than being able to hide behind hired goons, is sending them out after somebody.

 

[jaykellogg]

Probably because he was carrying a 32 oz. "BIG GULP"

Dey R illegal in Nu Yawk, youse guys no dat!

This happened in DC, not NY. I very seriously doubt that Officer Stockton was a sworn officer in DC.

 

[galena]

When one subscribes to the "Let them eat cake" attitude, one may suffer the same fate as the person who coined that phrase.

 

[sipowicz]

Wow...a pompous gutter journalist and an egotistical megalomaniac mayor in the same studio...good time for a stage light to fall...

 

[Bat Guano]

Arrogant doesn't begin to cover it. Tar. Feathers.

 

[quneur]

The Big Apple certainly has its worms.

The Four Categories of Anti-Gunners are the Hypocrite,the Elitist,the Statist and the Hoplophobe.I think Bloomber fits into allf our categories.

Don't forget the Bigot.

If I had a dime for every time I've heard, "Guns are ok in the 'right' hands, but we need to keep <insert racial, ethnic or religious slur> from having them", I'd buy a water cooled .50 and all of the accessories.

What I find ESPECIALLY interesting is the number of "liberals" who've said these things to me.
