Lying imbecile.
He apparently thinks nobody cared about the spreading diseases, the multitude of safety/ fire- code violations (Of the sort that massive lawsuits tend to be made of), and the myriad of reports of violence and general lawlessness all coming from the OWS encampment, but that it's ALL because we didn't like a community forming.
Never mind the countless other legal, orderly community- organizing projects based out of churches and philanthropic work which actually DID help people and WEREN'T made up of lawless vermin, and received the blessing of everyone.
btw, if he really wants to come up with an ulterior motive for tearing down the encampment, the only one I can think of is that Bloomberg knew that NYC is a very popular tourist destination around this time of year with a lot of very high- profile events planned that the rest of the country will be watching (i.e. the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Christmas in Rockefeller Center), and he didn't want those Occupy freaks to make his city (And by extension, himself) look bad by disrupting the events (Which they inevitably would have tried to do, being the crass and selfish attention- whores that they are, if Bloomberg hadn't put his foot down) and harassing/ terrorizing the tourists.
OH I don't know about all that, Bloomburg had a problem and had to figure out how to deal with it.
It started small, a minor boil on his butt, he went back and forth of what to do, lance the sucker or take antibiotics. Much to take into consideration here, will the encampment become a draw for tourists, THEN as it grew and the owners of the park made no objection, even Obama gave them a pass, he found his hands tied.
As the action began to spread to other states and city's he must have spoken with the Mayors and Governors of those states and most found themselves also hamstrung as they had no help or advice from the government.
Going in too soon and cleaning out the camps was dangerous. Who knew what child of a millionare who donated to their war chest was about to be arrested or pepper sprayed in the action.
On and on this went spreading over seas and growing like a new bacteria with no known drug to stop it.
So Bloomburg and others were advised to sit back for a few months to see what was going on in the camps. They found all kinds of interesting human nature going on, drugs, disease, murder, no leader, just a rag tag bunch of folks who were supported by someone or someones that donated food, clothing and went so far as to set up Library of 500+ books for the campers. Good meals were donated, all one could wish except bathroom facilities provided. Naturally the outsiders were drawn to free food, free anything.
The Police Superiors over reactive in many cases, at first, World wide coverage of them loosing it and pepper spraying innocent folks trying to get home from work. This did not look good in any city, Now what??
Bloomburg and the other Mayors of other states finally found an excuse to dismantled the camps, disease, and crime from with in or without the camps.
I believe they did well to wait, to go in too soon may have caused riots, total chaos for the city's. They took their time, waited to see how things were going and then moved in with enough excuses that we the public can understand.
Not an easy job for any Mayor to decide what to do when the President has given his support to these conditions.
So ever get that feeling that something is not what it seems??? Sort of like meeting a woman in a bar and not knowing why you suspect she has a dick under her skirt. Nothing stands out just a though that comes to mind if you are sober and see there is something that is off, perhaps the size of the hands, the over actions of the body movement.
This is much like this to me, we know there are 5-6 people that coordinate these protests and they and only they are in charge of half a million in hard cash.
Then there is the question of who benefits politically -----Not the Republicans that's for sure. is this all a ploy to get votes for Obama, will next spring be interesting as the antiwar street Dem's cause riots and pull in every one on wellfare, and anyone who refuses to blame Obama for this mess.????
Ask the supporters of the OWS who is to blame, they have no idea and will not blame Obama.
This race for the next 4 years will be perhaps the most important election we ever had in America and no one is going to play fair, it will be blood and guts. Here I thought Nixon and the dirty tricks and his Plumbers were extraordinary, Damn this next year will be so much worse, Poor Cain, poor Perry, then Gingrich with his big baggage in tow---
Now is there any person with a way to find out the goodies on Obamas personal life and not be found floating in the river???
