I told you why the Hitler analogy was faulty, and you didn’t defend it. Why should Bloomberg get credit for his motivations? Should we give Andrew Wakefield credit for his motivations? > [@](#): > > _You_ suggested he had other motivations, not me, so I asked you about them. Now, I understand that you also don’t have time to respond to everything I say, so if you still don’t want to tell me what they might be, fine. I don’t care about his motivations. The claim that he was motivated because “of the children” was the claim I was addressing. > [@](#): > > I lived in New York City when Bloomberg was mayor. I was here when SaF was implemented. As I’ve said, I was against it then and I’m against it now. Asking you about specific abuses does NOT mean I know nothing about it. And it certainly does not mean that I did not know how it was carried out, which is to say, by the indiscriminate detaining of people because of what they look like. You lived in New York City while Bloomberg was Mayor and you didn’t know that the police sometimes threw people up against the wall. I think that says it all really. > [@](#): > > I said he deserved credit for trying to save lives, not for the willful terrorizing of anyone. Does Andrew Wakefield deserve credit for trying to save lives? > [@](#): > > This once again shows that you are missing my point. I have NO “narrative” concerning SaF and I am not here to defend it. If I _were_ here to do that and did as you say, yes that would mean I was erasing black voices, ignoring racism, etc., but it’s not the case. Yet another post from you, yet again not one ounce of empathy for the people that Bloomberg terrorised for a decade. As I said: its almost as if black lives don’t matter. The narrative is crystal clear. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mike-bloomberg-presidential-campaign-2020/844048)._
