The NYPD did what they could but public safety must come before private property.

That would likely make quite a difference.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-42714639764047139422020-06-02T17:50:41.517-04:002020-06-02T17:50:41.517-04:00Interesting to note the looters are not from the a...Interesting to note the looters are not from the area . Most come from other boroughs and the ones you see in cars come from nj some come from out of state . They are destroying the neighborhood.

Are you kidding me? Those are plausible reasons now?<br /><br />I've been inside my apartment for nearly 10 consecutive weeks and yeah, I have cabin fever, so does that "permit" me to go loot a store? Please reply, b/c I'd hate to miss out on any freebies I might be "entitled" to grab for myself to compensate me for my cabin fever. I just have to dust off my crowbar; I know it's here somewhere...<br /><br />Now add in people who want to mug others b/c they're "bored" and we have the full panoply of the most pathetic excuses I've ever heard.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-23503604232795004102020-06-02T13:41:42.912-04:002020-06-02T13:41:42.912-04:00Outpouring of rage and frustration but also of des...Outpouring of rage and frustration but also of desire, greed and probably some boredom and cabin fever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-12625071931285759542020-06-02T13:19:34.798-04:002020-06-02T13:19:34.798-04:00Wow, the looters are now giving interviews to the ...Wow, the looters are now giving interviews to the Daily News?! This city is completely out of control.<br /><br />BTW, I have a friend who lives in midtown (in the 50's, west of 5th Ave.) and that block had extensive looting last night. My friend said they saw the looters pull up in cars, break in, carry stuff out to their cars & drive off - professional, cool as anything. Police were called multiple times; my friend said they observed NYPD cars DRIVE DOWN THE BLOCK but without interacting with the looters.<br /><br />To me, this represents the complete failure of the NYPD and all of NYC administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
