A man charged with kidnapping Michael Bloomberg's housekeeper was apparently looking for the billionaire's daughters, according to the Associated Press.

Joseph Beecher, the 48-year-old suspect, drove his truck through the gates of Bloomberg's 4,600-acre Colorado ranch on Wednesday, where he then held a supervising housekeeper at gunpoint, federal court documents said.

A Colorado affidavit obtained by the Associated Press added that Beecher asked for the whereabouts of Bloomberg's two daughters, Emma and Georgina, whom he referred to by name.

Beecher also told the housekeeper he had gone to an airport in the area last July searching for Bloomberg, according to an arrest affidavit cited by the AP.

walking with her iPad - that's why she's alive today.

Still, given the Slobfather's hatred of Bloomberg, this is seriously disturbing.

The US better deal with the Slobfather and his goons and urgently. There is neither peace nor tranquility

But I think that is imprecise. When history looks back in 40 years this era will be compared to Prohibition - pockets of lawless conspiracies run by violent thugs.
