That they often operate through third parties whose behavior they can claim to know nothing about only makes it worse. Never talk to them. Nothing good can come of it. <br /><br />This story is a little weird because I'm not sure what the exact motive was (were they planning to rob the office?), but maybe they were just bored that afternoon and wanted to have a little "fun." I hope the two injured gentlemen recover quickly.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652220584105885270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-24756543332260129192024-03-18T15:40:18.481-04:002024-03-18T15:40:18.481-04:00I feel for the victims, no doubt.

If it's a package delivery, tell them to leave it at your door. Now and days you don't really need to sign for anything unless it's really important. Keep a chain on your door, if you have one, when you open up and look through the peephole before opening. This is still nYc, people! & it's a bit crazier than usual as of lately.WotM8?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09515923042323676712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-52879788030435959242024-03-18T13:30:28.466-04:002024-03-18T13:30:28.466-04:00Damn.

Wish them well. <br /><br />I live in a building here in the EV where I can deny or permit access to visitors with my smartphone. If I don't recognize their name or am not expecting a delivery or a friend, I won't let them in. Sometimes, I receive a call for another tenant who are expecting a package from Amazon or UPS. But I always decline because of shady activities with drug activity from passersby and previously stolen items in our small lobby. Don't ignore your instincts. Trust no one. This is where we are at now.

I'd give about 10% odds of that happening, though. We're more likely to get a festering eyesore, in either the glassy-walled or the neo-prison style. Architects are sociopaths.

I didn't know what had happened and my first thought was "I bet the NYPD is scapegoating migrants for some crime they had nothing to do with" and sure enough I hear about this shooting. The migrants at Tompkins have been a very peaceful, well behaved bunch. There's been no violence, nothing more physical than a few spirited games of soccer in the park. I really hope the NYPD isn't going to get to the stage of bulling migrants for everything that happens in the neighborhood now. Let's not forget the NYPD union endorsed Trump in 2020, so we know where their sympathies lie.
