Bloomberg Compares Forgetting to Move Your Car to Murdering Your Parents

Politicker

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Mayor Bloomberg was asked about New York City’s unpopular sanitation parking stickers during his weekly appearance on John Gambling’s WOR radio show today. A Brooklyn councilman has introduced a bill that would ban the stickers, which are placed on cars that violate alternate side parking rules and are incredibly difficult to remove, but Mayor Bloomberg told Mr. Gambling he supports the stickers and he compared people who break the rules to someone murdering their parents and not understanding why they have to go to jail.

“If people are complaining, then we should keep doing it,” Mayor Bloomberg said of the stickers.

Mayor Bloomberg explained to Mr. Gambling that New Yorkers can avoid the stickers entirely by obeying parking regulations.

“I mean–don’t break the law. It’s almost like, you know, you murder your parents and then you say to the judge, ‘But I’m an orphan, you can’t put me in jail.’ Don’t murder your parents, you don’t have, you’re not an orphan, and in this case, don’t break the law you don’t have to worry about it,” Mayor Bloomberg said.

Mayor Bloomberg said he supports the stickers because “the Sanitation Department says it’s even more effective than a fine.” The Mayor clearly has no sympathy for people who break the rules, but he did suggest one potential remedy for those who are up in arms with the stickers.

“If you don’t like the law of cleaning the streets or alternate side, change that, but don’t go break the law,” Mayor Bloomberg said.

    He is really a sick puppy. Bet John Gambling let him get away with it as well, he really panders to the Mayor. I listen to WOR every morning but I refuse to listen to Bloomberg any more.

  • shlomo

    so he say that? so what? you hyperbolic situation. he simple use very old example to explanation

  • Fed Up

    If Bloomberg wasn’t a Billionaire he wouldn’t speak like this.

    Even if Bloomberg takes the subways to work everyday (When he feels like it).
    But when he’s in a hurry
    he just goes by his Limosine and the police block the streets for him.
    Also he doesn’t have to worry about getting parking tickets

  • not surprised

    Bloomberg is a moron. he keeps saying things like that, things like “he doesn’t use and A/C in the summer so no one else should” or “don’t be lazy and shovel your cars out of 2 feet of snow”, he says these things expecting that he makes people back down, thinking that maybe they are wrong, however that only works with people who have an IQ of -2. is psycho babble and its total BS (excuse the french). he doesn’t care about the people its all about money to him. There is nothing else. I don’t know about anybody else but I have said he is a moron since he first came to office.
