Michael Bloomberg Criticized No Matter What
Sometimes you just can’t win
News that the threat was based on bogus information will increase the pressure on New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his police commissioner, Ray Kelly, who have already been criticised for overreacting.
Of course, if he had ignored it and it had been real, there would be investigations, congressional inquiries, and public lynching of Mr. Bloomberg. Any person with a brain knows that the threats could be real, and as such, have to be taken seriously. It’s a whole lot better to look stupid and be wrong about a false alarm than to be stupid and have a whole buncha dead people.
He may not have had to be so high profile about it, but I would rather have a mayor who is overly cautious than one who ignores potential threats.
The Grape Vine makes the case that the information was in fact very credible.
It is interesting to note, on the other foot, that Bloomberg criticized others for overreacting in an unrelated incident back in July. (H/T Urban Grind)
And what has followed has been almost equally striking: a public apology by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who defended the police, but criticized the Gray Line employees for overreacting, a message that for some has raised questions about just what a public frightened by terrorism is supposed to do with what they feel are legitimate worries.
Noy G thinks Bloomberg did the right thing.
