So the thinking probably is, let's not make too big a deal about this. Maybe it's similar to the City not prosecuting drivers who kill or injure someone who has the right of way in a crosswalk. If they did prosecute such people it would mean that the NYPD would have to actually pay attention to traffic violations from that point forward. This would take up all their time and clearly they have other priorities. Hopefully there is justice for the residents eventually but don't hold your breath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-63346966936054577632015-09-28T23:43:23.852-04:002015-09-28T23:43:23.852-04:00anonymous said "6 months and no one is charge...anonymous said "6 months and no one is charged yet? wtf are they doing?"<br /><br />Maybe the powers that be don't want to stir up the muck surrounding Con Ed itself, or give things a chance to recede farther in the rear view mirror of public memory.
