Mayor Bloomberg Urges Americans to Be Un-American and Snitch on Each Other
So on his radio show, Mayor Mike Bloomberg said that the cops won’t enforce the city’s new ban on smoking at beaches and parks.
So, who will?
Us.
That’s right, Bloomie said, quote, “This is going to be enforced by public pressure. [...] Mainly….everybody’s going to turn to you and say, ‘Hey, you shouldn’t be smoking.’ And you know, most people listen.”
Yeah, most people.
He must be referring to smurfs, pixies and tree nymphs. Cuz it ain’t us.
And so we see another example of Bloomie’s mammoth misunderstanding of human nature.
We don’t like busybodies. We don’t like meddlers. And we don’t like jerks butting in over our butts.
More important, everyone knows that the average life span of a snitch, is far shorter than a smoker’s.
People hate snitches more.
Imagine the rise in assaults between these intrusive nitpickers, and drunk vacationing Germans, chain-smoking coke dealers, or worse – angry, short talk show hosts looking for chain-smoking coke dealers.
The sad fact: every effort to manipulate smokers causes a new kind of suffering. When smoking was banned in bars, many closed – and hot, raspy waitresses were out of work.
Fights in front of existing bars increased, among outdoor smokers and sober tourists, causing a rise in nuisance complaints.
I got hit in the face a lot. mainly by me.
But this latest b-s is a sick clue into bloomies psyche – that he would make a law, and expect you to tell the tattooed biker to follow it.
Because Mikey won’t.
He’s too busy licking the salt off your cheeseburger and desperately reapplying it to our roads.
And if you disagree with me, you’re worse than Justin Bieber.

That was the most unkindest cut of all!
I'm Confused

As a New Yorker, I'm really confused. We're supposed to snitch on smokers, but we're not allowed to snitch on illegal aliens because NYC is a sanctuary city.
So let me see if I have the list correct:
smokers bad
soda drinkers bad
people who eat fat in their diet bad
illegal aliens ignore
Irish are drunks according to Jews
terrorists trying to set off bombs in Times Square are "maybe" there because they are ticked off at Obamacare
laws don't apply to the rich
So let it be written. So let it be done.

There's only one freedom that Liberals believe in. The freedom to obey.
I am with Mr. RedEye on this one.

Bloomy doesn't seek to actually enforce this foolishness because it won't pass muster - and he knows it. Bars around here are starting to figure that out too. Sure, we have an outright ban, but some bars disregard it and folks go about their business anyway.
I don't want to come off the wrong way here, but at what point is it time to give the Nanny staters a big fat bloody lip trying to knock some sense into them?
I have "snitched" on smokers

I have "snitched" on smokers before and will again. Smoking was deemed unlawful in grocery stores in my city. Before people caught on to the idea it was unlawful I told more than a few people that is was against the law. They were polite, probably because at first glance I am an intimidating figure, and put out their cigarettes.
Full disclose I abhor smoking and it makes me physically sick. My parents were heavy smokers and yet I survived.
A question for you dan,

If I was the owner of that grocery store, would you support government forcing me to make my business suitable for you?
If so, then you have to admit that you not only stand against private property rights and but would see yourself subjected to a situation where government could force ALL businesses to be smoking environments. Examine the power itself, not just howit is being exercised. Realize, that can change in an instant.
Please see, this is exactly why government power was intentionally limited. This is why private property was recognized as protected from government authority. In that free environment, one grocery store could be a smoking environment, while another could be non-smoking. This affords you the ability to do business where you find the environment suitable and so too can I. Think of equality, please. For it is what is at stake, even in that context.
Do examine the caveats of submitting to what it is you submit to. FOr it might not work out just the way you thought it would.
