Um, Mayor Healy, you had your chance to stand with the 99%, you sent the cops instead

In what will most likely be a year-long running soap opera between the two leading candidates for Jersey City Mayor in 2013, incumbent Jerramiah Healy and Jersey City councilman Steven Fulop, Mayor Healy decided to throw a brickbat at Fulop who announced he was taking a leave from his Wall Street duties as a trader to full time run for mayor. Enter the Healy campaign who made a comment about Fulop supposedly representing the “the one percenters on Wall Street.” Healy continued:

“Clearly he lives in a reality far different than the majority of Jersey City residents who cannot afford to take a year off from work."

Mr. Mayor, when Occupy Wall Street showed up in Jersey City last year over by Goldman Sachs, you unleashed the cops on them. Your police chief sent a huge amount of police in riot gear to move #OWS protestors away from the Goldman Sachs building. Sorry mayor you had your chance to really stand up to the 1%, which you intone Fulop is somehow part of, and you blew it. You had your chance to embrace the #OWS movement here in Jersey City and you know what? You made the choice not to.

So mayor, if you wanna point out Steve Fulop has missed X amount of meetings, fair game. If you want to chide Mr. Fulop that he doesn't visit the rest of the Wards around town, go for it. To pretend you somehow represent the 99%, yeah not so fast there Puddintame. That ship sailed last year.

The Jersey City Desk has learned....

That thousands, tens if not hundreds of thousands of #OWS aka Occupy Wall St. protestors will gather tomorrow night in Times Square to make their point by ringing in the new year at midnight under the ball. No word from the Office of Whitewash over at City Hall but no doubt this news will have angered Mayor Bloomberg when it reaches his billion dollar desk. Be prepared to have to celebrate 2012 among pepper-sprayed residents and visitors, and truncheoned bystanders.

Arrive early, and bring your gas mask as Times Square on New Years Eve is fun for the whole family...

What's that they say about payback Mayor Bloomberg?

When the #OWS gets out of hand or turns violent ask Mayor Mike why -- UPDATED

Look, we all know Mayor Bloomberg can't get enough of giving his Wall St. buddies handjobs, but now Bloomie thinks he knows the United States Constitution better than most legal scholars. Mayor Mike seems to be confused about the GUARANTEE of PEACEABLE redress of grievances. Of course this only matters to Bloomberg when his poor poor put upon Wall St. acolytes are crashing the economy and blaming teachers. Only then should we worry about rights -- rights for Wall St.

Well Mayor, it has come to this. You have badmouthed the people exercising their RIGHTS. You have turned to police on them to stifle free speech. When people have no outlets left to protest Mike guess what they do? And you'll be to blame for it when it does happen.

Shame on you. Shame.

Here's one of your boys now, he's the new face of YOUR police Department.

UPDATE -- Mayor Bloomberg's incredible comment this morning on this "No right is absolute." Um YES it is jackass it's WHY they call them RIGHTS. Oh and Bloomie, you just got slapped down by a New York City judge: "The order by Justice Lucy Billings set a hearing date for Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. and said that until the matter was considered at that hearing, the city and Brookfield Properties, the owners of Zuccotti Park, would be prohibited from evicting protesters or "enforcing 'rules' published after the occupation began or otherwise preventing protesters from re-entering the park with tents and other property previously utilized."
