Politicker reports that Mayor Mike planned ahead of time to exploit the next tradegy:
“When the smoke cleared at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., in the wee hours of a Friday morning last July, 12 people were dead, 58 were injured and Mayor Michael Bloomberg was in New York, readying an assault of his own. The campaign that Mr. Bloomberg and his “gun team” came up with in the hours and days after Aurora involved carpet-bombing Washington with millions from the mayor’s immense fortune and a media blitz that would be deployed following the next massacre … The next time a tragedy like Aurora went down, he would be ready …”
This isn’t a surprise, but it does tell a lot about Bloomberg’s character. Instead of trying to figure out about how to best prevent such mass killings, his main concern was how to exploit them in order to advance his political agenda.
