Bloomberg Wouldn't Let National Guard Into Brooklyn Over Their Possession of Guns

As usual, "I don't dig the news, so it must be a lie".

I seriously doubt that Daily KOS is going to report anything that might make The One look bad.

Did the twitter post say when those troops arrived?

What does it matter? They are there now, which is after any alleged statement or rule by the NYC major about no troops in Brooklyn.

It matters a lot, if the mayor denied access to the city, by national gaurd soldiers, because of his political agenda. The only thing you did was prove that NG soldiers are in NYC, now; not that Bloomberg didn't deny them access.

If he denied them access then why are they there? Also do you care that there's no source?

It doesn't mean that he didn't initially deny them access. You disproved, nothing.

if Obama denied his wife access to their room last night, why is she there today? Well, maybe, he let her in today. ????

Ok so does it make sense that the major of NYC held a press conference about the storm and not only did only one paper show up, the one that all the blogs are sourcing, but they are also the only source of this information?

Also if you're story is that he firstly denied them access then allowed them, where's your source that he changed his mind? And if he changed his mind to do what you think he should have done, then whats the issue?

And lastly, why would anyone make the decision to turn away the National Guard in a disaster?
 
NYC just isn't the same country as the rest of the nation. Maybe we should saw it off and let it float out to sea...


"Escape From New York" is a movie you should watch.
 
National Guardsmen have been all over the ****ing place.

If he was doing this to protect people from tyranny, ala New Orleans gun grabbing, I would agree. But that definitely isn't his motivation.

I am absolutely convinced that the press is in the bag with the Democratic Party. This story not making mainstream proves it to me. We aren't hearing everything that's going on in this disaster area.

Drives me nuts. I try going to a local paper site when one of this Conservorages comes out. I will see if I can find it.
When I google this, all I get is right-wing sites.

Can I get a link from AP, or PBS?
 
Yes, the National Guard is already there.

Sunday morning, about 120 Delaware Army National Guard troops manning 46 vehicles headed north to help the New York National Guard with a to-be-determined mission.
