Surprised? Of course not. Unless you’ve been in a coma for the past decade.
Having momentarily failed in his latest attempt at nanny-state food-fascism, Emperor Bloomberg now wants to take advantage of the Boston Marathon bombing to grab even more power over his constituents subjects. Jill Colvin at the New York Observer reports:
In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.
“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex world where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change…”
“We have to understand that in the world going forward, we’re going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. That’s good in some sense, but it’s different from what we are used to,” he said.
Seems like we have just the right number of cameras now. That’s how they caught those two scumbags so quickly. The FBI released that surveillance footage, and within hours they were on the run. Within four days of the bombing, one of them was dead and the other was in custody. (It might’ve happened even faster if the FBI had been politically incorrect enough to contact the local mosque, but that’s another story. Guess they figured they wouldn’t find any teabaggers there.) Four days isn’t fast enough for Emperor Bloomberg, though, because he’ll use any excuse to control other people.
But this last part is the best:
“What we can’t do is let the protection get in the way of us enjoying our freedoms.”
Just remember that, New Yorkers, as you’re enjoying your freedoms. Like drinking a Coke, or smoking a cigarette, or eating some Cheetos, or whatever else Bloomie doesn’t think you should be doing.
Can you give other people second-hand smoke by burning the Constitution? Maybe that’d convince this sawed-off Nazi to knock it off.
