BLOOMBERG - the GRINCH that stole Independence Day!
"A quarter inch salute can take out an eye!"
With this pompous LIE on WINS-AM news radio, Billionaire Bloomberg revealed his abysmal ignorance for all to see. If he knew what he was talking about, he would realize that the ladyfinger, smallest of all firecrackers, is about three times that size but is pretty much harmless. If one went off in your hand, at most you would sustain a small superficial burn. If bicycles and skates are legal such small fireworks should also be, as they actually cause far fewer injuries than bicycles and skates! See the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) statistics if you doubt this.
But pompous Billionaire Bloomberg, in his zeal to intimidate us out of celebrating our alleged freedom on the Fourth of July, didn't stop his IGNORANT LIES with this. He also threatened ARREST for using fireworks. This insult to the publics' intelligence assumes that we do not know the difference between a mere violation and a misdemeanor. The use of consumer-grade fireworks, unless used maliciously, is just a violation. If you are caught, the police will steal ("confiscate") your fireworks and may issue a summons for a small fine, but you will NOT be arrested. You can be for selling them however.
His Majesty Herr Burgomeister Bloomberger also declared that if you buy fireworks out of state and drive back into the city with them, you can be arrested and your car stolen ("confiscated"). This is unfortunately true; the NYPD, originally directed to do so by malevolent Tyrant Ghouliani and now by Billionaire Bloomberg, stakes out the parking lots of out-of-state fireworks retailers and looks for vehicles with New York plates. They follow you back and bust you once you've crossed the border into NYC.
Fireworks approved by the CPSC as safe for public use are legal in most states. Some states and localities restrict those that can be sold to "safe and sane" items that meet even more stringent safety requirements. Why do we let such fun-hating, freedom-stealing tyrants as Giuliani and Bloomberg dictate that we can't have ANYTHING? Deprived of fireworks to celebrate with, perhaps we should spend our "Independence" Day reading the history of the American Revolution, and the tyranny against which it was fought. It has been said that 200 years is far too long to go without a revolution, and hearing Bloomberg's pompous lies and intimidations of the citizens he allegedly works for, one can see the wisdom in these words!

And yet the Jews of Crown Heights can shoot off as many firecrackers as they want on Purim.

I don't recall firecrackers ever being legal in NYC. Even as a kid, I remember the police taking them away from anyone who had them.
If you're going to blame Bloomberg on the fireworks laws, you should blame all the previous mayors for them...and not just Giuliani.

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's ban on fireworks a violation of the freedom of speech and religion, business owners and community advocates in Chinatown appealed to the Mayor yesterday to allow firecrackers to be set off in designated areas for the conclusion of the Chinese New Year celebrations on Sunday.
Ghoulee banned fireworks for everyone execpt the Jews in Crown Heights during Purim.
Are you trying to tell those of us who witness this shit every year that it does not happen?

NEWS Warnings Against Firecrackers and Other Purim Dangers By B. Kahn and G. Kleiman As Purim draws near rescue services are issuing staunch warnings to parents not to allow their children to possess firecrackers and other items that pose a safety hazard. Every year Magen David Adom and other emergency organizations handle dozens of frightful cases: serious burns and the loss of fingers and hands of children whose firecrackers exploded in their hands. In addition many adults suffer anxiety attacks due to the many explosive sounds in the streets. Hatzoloh notes that many parents are simply unaware of the danger. "Unfortunately," says Hatzoloh Yisroel Chairman Rabbi Dovid Greenwald, "every year we encounter hundreds of emergencies around the country as a result of dangerous firecrackers. If we can prevent a portion of these frightful cases, or even save the loss of one hand, may this be our reward." Magen David Adom and other rescue services are asking parents and teachers to caution students about the inherent danger and not to permit them to use firecrackers. According to the Standards Institute, fireworks must be sold in packages marked with instructions and warnings. Caps should only be used in cap guns equipped with a red safety cap on the barrel and proper markings as required by law, and caps should not be kept in pockets or fired in proximity to ears or eyes. Magen David Adom also warns that certain costumes and accessories have various hidden dangers and parents must be vigilant in safeguarding their children. Costumes made of non- flammable materials that meet safety standards are recommended and children in costume should be especially warned in advance to stay clear of sources of heat and fire. If a costume catches fire chas vesholom, the victim should lie down on the ground and roll in dirt or sand, or the fire should be extinguished with large quantities of water or smothered with a wet blanket. In the event of burns, charred clothing should be removed and no oily ointments or creams should be applied; instead the site of the burn should be cooled with water and emergency aid should be sought. -- "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." - Sinclair Lewis

It is an old state law that was pretty much unenforced in NYC until Tyrant Ghouliani started arresting and strip-searching, and even throwing people in jail, for such trivial violations as jaywalking. Bloomberg is more low-key and less mean-spirited, but is still an elitist autocrat.
Billionaire Bloomberg is also a hypocrite that allows his favorites to do as they want - the Jews in Boro Park use fireworks on Purim and you don't hear him threatening to throw them in jail for it.

Neither of the two links you provided say that Giuliani allowed the use of fireworks during Purim.
> Are you trying to tell those of us who witness this shit every year > that it does not happen?
I'm saying you're a lying piece of shit. Plain and simple.
