    Thank you. However, I am only Mayor in the way the same way that Foursquare makes people Mayor:

    I am not elected, I merely visit this place the most often.

    Happy birthday Mr. Mayor! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on police violence.

    Thank you.

    I believe that violence is simultaneously the first and last resort of the incompetent.

    To elaborate:
    We are all familiar with the incompetence of people who use violence as a FIRST resort. However, we seem less familiar with the incompetence of people who use it as a LAST resort.

    "Only the incompetent wait until the last extremity to use force, and by then, it is usually too late to use anything, even prayer." -H. Beam Piper

    Two more quotes:
    "Nonviolence works, except when it doesn't. Violence works, except when it doesn't"

    "I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence."
    -Malcolm X

    Whynot may be the mayor of Brooklynian, but we all know that the mayor of Franklin Ave is the bouncer at Bob and Bettys. That dude is my hero, wearing sunglasses and guarding the ice cream.
