This, like most commentary from talking heads, is a diatribe to get ratings and spark emotions. To make people angry and to make people emotionally attached to whatever this dufus is talking at the moment. And this is only 1% of whats wrong with our current social, political, and economical situation. (see what I did there?)
OK. Do *really* think Bloomberg suppressed #OWS by cleaning up Z. Park? Can i Pitch my tent in a park and live there for months?
Oh I’m sorry, Bloomberg was pretty nasty by evicting them in the middle of the night to MINIMIZE the confrontations created by restoring order to an area of NYC that has been without it.
Let me leave all my books all over the street, and get pissed off when the police clean up after my dirt, filth, and oh yeah, private possessions.
I will quote several protesters here: “The peoples library was ruined.” Wah wah. When I hear “the peoples” anything i get a little bit of vomit that comes up…
Two points on Bloomberg the man. He is looking out for what is right in NYC, as he was elected to do. Films are made here to increase city revenue, tourism, and good will towards the city. His philanthropic endeavors around the world should not be called into question when he also strives to use his wealth to better the city of New York.
Keith here got his history right, but unfortunately the connections to #OWS seem to be all muddled in personal bias and a menagerie of hate and bitterness.
YET ANOTHER REASON TO CUT THE CORD. WHO NEEDS TO LISTEN TO DUFI (plural of dufus?) WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

** disclosure: I may be wrong about all this, but I just needed to write the first things that came to mind when I first watched this “editorial” piece.
