"You know, we have a beautiful highway landscaping redevelopment in our downtown. We have desert tortoises and beautiful paintings of flora and fauna. These punks come along and deface it.
"I'm saying maybe you put them on TV and cut off a thumb," the mayor added. "That may be the right thing to do."

I love our mayor. Not so much for his politics, but for his personality. He's a straight shooter most of the time.
He is very 'Vegas'. _____________________

I thought the more quotable quote was:
Another panelist on the show, Howard Rosenberg, a state university system regent, responded by saying that cutting off the thumbs of taggers won't solve the problem and Goodman should "use his head for something other than a hat rack." If the mayor honestly thinks that permanently mutilating someone is the answer, then he has more than a few screws loose. What's next, cutting the feet off of jaywalkers? _____________________

What's next, cutting the feet off of jaywalkers? The mayor doesn't honestly think that, despite saying he was dead serious. (He wasn't actually 'dead' either.) I thought that would have been obvious. He probably did too. Sometimes, when people are pissed and/or fed up with someone, they say things not meant to be taken literally. Ask my husband how many times I've actually killed him for leaving dirty clothes on the floor. _____________________

Never fear, Vegas--at least Arpaio is staying in Arizona (for the time being).
