Ritchie Rich and So-So who run your city

Mayor Bloomberg at a young age

Mayor Richie Rich (i.e. Bloomberg) respects the first amendment that is as long as he agrees with what is being said. He is for cleaning up the park from events that haven't happened yet (like defecating in the park) but could happen one day. He is for protecting free speech, where it is not being threatened and where people with opposing viewpoints are allowed to speak. He wanted to clean that park for a few weeks of course with the stipulation that those people don't bring their tents back. I guess that meant he wanted to clean the park of tents. Of course what this means is that dissent has been driven underground again. That way Bloomberg can go back on television, pretend everything is fine, while the people who lives he and the financial elites have ruined continue to divvy up what's left of the economic booty. See how democracy works as soon as the political class marries itself to the cliptocracy.

Bloomberg has of course a loyal second in command Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly that doesn't even try to stop banks from stealing from ordinary people's pensions. In fact they also look the other way when multi-billion dollar thieves go free. That allows same people to steal houses, through duplicitous methods, right out from under the citizenry making them as homeless as they just have Occupy Wall Street members. As the city continues to slash budgets creating more heartaches for those who pay for services  that they never receive and whose kids are all jammed into the city's schools which have all the creativity of a chain gang. But then attack people assembling peacefully like it is Central Fallujah. With a budget of of close to two million dollars, when you consider all the civil suits against the NYPD, how much is that per tent? The good thing is that several of the occupiers own taxes have gone for their own eviction.

Bloomberg and his poodle

Of course with hypothermia of the occupy citizens, that Bloomberg supposedly represents, as it does the pretend citizens that can't speak their mind in a park whose occupants welcome free speech out in the open. One can expect the mayor and the commissioner to retreat uptown with all the business swells rather than being downtown and rubbing shoulders with the rabble. The good news is that New York is open for business... if you just ignore the army of police cruisers, the whiff of tear gas that's behind the facade. I hear New York is not the only police state that has been good for business.

Nothing like a police state to visit over the holidays
