Home Featured Headlines Blog Search for: Bully Bloomberg Reacts Calmly to Losing Court Case: “After January, I am going to destroy all you f–king guys” Posted by Jammie on May 22, 2013 at 7:35 am This is how third-world dictators or guys named Obama behave when they don’t get their way: Flip out and vow destroy anyone who opposes them. Has anyone noticed how these guys have unraveled since they didn’t get their way with their gun confiscation scheme? Tyrants don’t like it when anyone opposes them. Even for a schmuck like Bloomberg this is way over the top. Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f–king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned. A fuming Bloomberg made the threat against Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman at Madison Square Garden’s private 1879 Club during last Thursday’s Knick playoff game, a witness said yesterday. “It was like Gene had kidnapped his child. He used the f-word twice,”the witness said. Freidman confirmed the blow-up to The Post, and said Bloomberg’s tirade included the warning that, “After January, I am going to destroy all you f–king guys.” We’re in a dangerous time in America. Bother the First and Second Amendments are under furious assaults in Washington and we have a two-bit punk like Bloomberg, drunk on power, looking to crush anyone in his path. “I saw Bloomberg and his security there in the club, so I went over and said, ‘Tell me what is going on with the Taxi of Tomorrow?’ ” Freidman, 42, said yesterday. “He turns to me, and said, ‘Come January 1st, when I am out of office, I am going to destroy your f–king industry.’ “I said, ‘Whoa, Mr. Mayor, calm down! Why can’t I sit down with you and figure out something that works?’ He got back in my face and said, ‘After January, I am going to destroy all you f–king guys,’ ” said Freidman, whose company operates a fleet of 925 yellow cabs. Freidman said a red-faced Bloomberg’s jaw was clenched. “He was very angry, very scary, very violent in a non-physical way. He was grinding his teeth, he was spitting, he was red and he was in my face,” the self-styled “King of the Road” claimed. “The mayor was extremely disrespectful, and not ‘mayorly’ at all. He cursed at me, and when we walked away, I asked a friend who was with me, ‘Did the mayor just threaten me?’ “My friend responded, ‘No, he threatened you twice.’ ” You know how you react to bullies like this? Punch back twice as hard. This may have been caught on video and we can only hope it’s made public. But nothing would calm Bloomberg — who at one point looked about for security to toss Freidman from the club. “This was my club that Bloomberg was a guest in, that I had paid to get in, and he wasn’t getting me kicked out of my own place,” said Freidman. His lawyers have asked MSG to preserve any surveillance video that may have captured the exchange.

>> That doesn't mean its an invitation to rape..........and I really doubt that's what happened. What I suspect happened is that Clinton had sex with her and that's all it was. Her fantasy of being the first lady of Arkansas blew up and she wasn't happy. So, you arbitrarily suspect the woman is lying because there were no eyewitnesses? This is the reason so many rapes go unreported and the reason this one did. Because, as we know, rapists don't generally commit rape while witnesses are standing by. Honestly, given Clinton's history, I'm not sure why you would suspect otherwise. We know rape isn't about sex, it is about power. And Clinton abused his power with Lewinsky, with Willey, with Jones, and numerous others. And walked away free. And that is fine with you.
