Bloomberg: Economy Woes Will Lead to 'Riots'

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned Friday there could be “riots” in the streets of U.S. cities if the economy doesn’t pick up soon.

The lack of jobs is making people increasingly desperate, Bloomberg said on his weekly WOR radio show.

"We have a lot of kids graduating college, can't find jobs," Bloomberg said, according to the New York Daily News. "That's what happened in Cairo. That's what happened in Madrid. You don't want those kinds of riots here."

Mr. Bloomberg, you, like many politicians, just don't know when to shut up.

You really don't want to be pre-making justifications and excuses for people to do something stupid like rioting, nor giving morons ideas that its a good time for a riot.

After all, a riot is an ugly thing:


Stick to your war on salt. While dumb and scientifically dubious, nobody is likely to trash your city over it.
