Bloomberg: 'Minorities' to blame for 'real' crime

Who would have thought I would ever agree with Bloomberg?

(THE BLAZE) Audio has surfaced of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s controversial comments about getting “guns out of the hands” of minorities” during a Feb. 6 event at the Aspen Institute. Bloomberg’s representatives reportedly attempted to block the release of footage of his remarks at the event.

“It’s controversial, but first thing is all of your — 95 percent of your murders and murderers, and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all of the cops. They are male, minorities, 15 to 25. That’s true in New York, it’s true in virtually every city in America,” Bloomberg is heard saying in the newly released audio.

“That’s where the real crime is,” he added. “You’ve got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed. First thing you can do to help that group is to keep them alive.”
