Celebrate? Yes, encourage wholesale murder, no. See, there is a difference between passing laws based upon necessity and public harm versus enforcing one's beliefs against the populace, personally I think Bloomberg is the lowest of human life and he can't leave the world quickly enough, HOWEVER, my personal feelings should an assasination attempt become successful are seperate from what is the morally correct choice, I can think in more than one dimension at a time.
I am a Jeffersonian philosopher, one dead tyrant puts the rest on notice. While I don't personally encourage, endorse, or condone political killing there is a chance that someone will try, and as I've been warning people for quite a few years, a charged political climate with emboldened politicians will lead to violence. There are psychopaths out there and all they need is one too many pushes to go over that cliff, I'd rather if that happens that someone who deserves it(like a tyrannical politician) suffer their consequences than innocents in public.Wow. And so all those people who were exposed to a potentially lethal poison, that's okay with you because you want to see Bloomberg dead? :shock:
That kind of thinking is what shocked me about this thread. People weren't talking about the crazy person who did this, they were basically saying "'Atta boy!" because Bloomberg was the target without a single thought about the others who could be and possibly were harmed.
Edited to add: I am NOT a Bloomberg fan. I wouldn't vote for him if he were running for dogcatcher, and his nanny-dictator policies in NYC make me furious. But I still don't want the man assassinated, and I most certainly don't want others harmed by the attempt.
I'm not in the right wing, hate to break that to you. BTW, the reason the nutcases are coming out are because of the government intrusions, adding more will increase the number of violent pushback.
Bloomberg has broken quite a few laws, don't kid yourself.
Violated multiple state and federal laws in that sorry excuse for a "sting" in Arizona, using NYC officers for unlicensed surveillance outside of their jurisdiction in an attempt to illegally purchase weapons across state lines.
Why? You think a politician getting a wakeup call from a nutcase is somehow scary. It's life dude.
Did I say "he had it coming"? No, I said it should be a wakeup call, politicians are arrogant, they think they live in a vacuum without consequences, many times exempting themselves from their own rules and they think they are untouchable. Well, assassination attempts have a bit of a sobering effect if one is paying attention, and, like I've said, in politically heated climates pushing enough people eventually means you piss off nutcases, not a good idea. I further said that I have no sympathy for the little jerk and in fact would celebrate if someone took him out, I also said I don't encourage it.
