Mayor Michael Bloomberg is having his “LET THEM EAT CAKE” moment while hundreds of thousands of New York City’s citizens continue to suffer — some of those are suffering very near the starting line of Bloomberg's “LET THEM EAT CAKE” event, the New York City Marathon
Bloomberg is perpetrating an unfeeling and inhuman outrage — The NYC Marathon has to be cancelled immediately
Yesterday, the New York Post proclaimed: “Mayor Bloomberg insists NYC Marathon will go on as scheduled” — Today it’s “Mayor Bloomberg rejects criticism of plan to hold NYC Marathon” in the Detroit Free Press — Some of the anguished and righteous outrage is being expressed on Neil Cavuto’s Friday, 4:00 PM Fox News program as I type this post.......
“Despite Some Reservations, Sunday’s NYC Marathon To Go On As Planned” announced
a local Brooklyn blog, posted by Joe Teutonico in “Bay Ridge Odyssey” on October 31st — even if that made sense then, it no longer makes sense — even if it still made sense on Thursday or earlier today, it no longer makes sense --- the NYC Marathon needs to be cancelled without further ado and without further diversion of any New York City resources; they are desperately needed elsewhere .
The start of the Marathon is at the toll plaza of the Verrazano Bridge little more than a stone’s throw from where people died in South Beach — little more than a stone’s throw from where people are without basic human necessities right now. Generators and other equipment are being moved into place at the marathon starting line when nothing is being done for people in need a couple of thousand yards away. Emergency service personnel who are needed all over the City of New York to serve people in crushing need have to be diverted to serve Mayor Bloomberg’s immense ego to stick with his horrible initial decision.
The public has to rise up and stop this outrage — Not later — NOW ! ! !
