This is What Democracy Looks Like

About 100 protesters surged uninvited into a Midtown hotel ballroom, and interrupted a speech by Mayor Bloomberg on the future of the citys economy.

This is what ANARCHY looks like.

[hoochee001]

It is because of idiots like these that good women and men no longer aspire to public service.

[hoochee002]

People forget that NYC teachers are scum, and it takes 150 steps to fire the child abusing weasels. See "Stupid in America" on YouTube.

[hoochee002]

And you know that because of, what? You're clairvoyant? I would assume that many different kinds of people are attending that dinner. It is absurd to vilify them all based on your idle speculations.

[hoochee002]

"We don't believe that when you give the elite a handout it is a subsidy but when you give to the poor its socialism."

This guys is a f***ing genius. YES! YES! YES!

End all socialism, especially corporate socialism. If you get to keep the profits, you should have to stomach the losses too!

[hoochee002]

The future of New York City has to be about "meeting the needs of poor people, people of colour, young people, and elderly people."

This is what is so disgusting about the left wing. They always divide people up in to groups. What about people who aren't young or old or poor or colourful enough? Should their needs not be met?

Rather than dividing up people into groups and then including them, how about promoting the common good? Dropthedash!

[hoochee001]

This statement is as absurd as the statement that because Obama is black, he only cares about other blacks.

Just because a person belongs to a certain group doesn't mean that is the only group the person cares about.

You seem to think in terms of stereotypes. It may apply to you, but not everyone is like that.

[CaramelMamiChula]

saint my ass,this an is no saint,hes a satan and u can tell theres a devil inside of him.he needs 2 go back 2 boston and he dont deserve 2 be "our mayor".

ur a kiss-ass so stfu.

[BloombergForLife]

That's just an ad hominem argument.

I love Bloomberg, because he set up cheap municipal car parks near train and subway stations in outlying areas, so we can easily commute into New York City.

I also love Bloomberg's 311!

The man is a saint, won't draw a salary, and refuses to live in the governor's mansion.

[CaramelMamiChula]

fuck bloomberg and fuck u!

this man is a snake in the grass and u know u cant trust the snake and thats what he is.i hope he'll get impeached 1 day,lmao!

[CaramelMamiChula]

only in ny!

fuck bloomberg!

[BloombergForLife]

Bloomberg just wants quality and excellence in teaching. If you want to be able to get paid based on seniority alone without having to answer to your results, surely you will hate Bloomberg, which it seems you do.

However, parents, taxpayers, and voters want teachers to be accountable. Please understand that. Your job should not be a sinecure.

[brazmonky]

is anarchy still cute?

[brazmonky]

it's nearly nine years later. what are the folks who were protestors then doing now?

[mattyelborracho]

i still can't get over how little thought was put into this out this protest. tell me someone was like "i dunno, this sounds kinda dumb" before y'all went in there chanting something that doesn't make sense

[Getalis]

I'm not much of a YouTuber. :(

Perhaps that needs to change...

[jrmsy]

so proud of yall. Big ups from Boston! Right to the City!!!

[juicyakanova]

get a life

[rhosey001]

Whats up with the sock account? I was hoping you had some videos or at least favorites to look at.

[rhosey001]

Right on the money. Very well said.

[Getalis]

True, a constitutional republic is a much better system than mob rule, i.e. democracy.

That said, the rabble-rousers were technically correct in their terminology when they broke into a private meeting, held on private property, and demonstrated what *mob rule* looks like.

[Getalis]

Take a long, hard look at these two sentences. They make absolutely no sense whatsoever. You might as well be saying "Because these eeeeeeeevil rich people got together and ate (gasp!) FOOD, it's going to rain in Upper Yidland next Tuesday."

[Getalis]

Democracy = Mob Rule

[mattyelborracho]

i'm not sure they plan on dumping on the middle class, but it seems to me that a properly placed dump on YOU might give those with 2 brain cells to rub together a good laugh.

come on dude, what is it about the $250 plate that pisses you off? they were brainstorming ideas to jump start the economy until those knuckle heads chimed in with their chant that didn't even make sense.

got any ideas of your own how to get the ball rolling??

[NYCTeachers]

People forget that Mayor Mike is a Billionaire and he hangs out with billionaires. If you are a billionaire then he IS your friend, if you are not a billionaire and you support him then YOU are surely a fool!

He cares nothing about democracy or the working people of NYC. If this is a sign of what's to come when he runs for mayor, it's GREAT!
