I guess I see your point. But really, you're running from the problem. You have a voice. You'd a certified badass. You could have spin & pin this prick and you'd be in the paper today as a local hero. With our getbig reach, the story "Avid Romney supporter thrwats robbery to protect small business"...
It'd be picked up on fox news in no time. Romney would high five you for the cameras today (he's already in NYC carrying Rudy's jockstrap), and his campaign would get quite a bump, along with the polls to follow.
YOU could be the next joe the plumber. A NYC lawyer who was just plain tired of the thugs and trash ruining america. An instant platform to tell the world everything you see wrong with obama and right about conservatism. All it took was sticking out your foot and tripping the felon, and you could seriously change america for the better.
But, you didn't want to get invovled. You'd rather move away. Don't change what you dislike - run from it.
Manhattan is ok - but insanely expensive, but the bouroughs are going to hell. the pockets of old ethnic enclaves that keep things together are withering away in brooklyn, queens, bronx, etc.
The roads are like driving in the mountains, crazy traffic lights, cameras, fees, fines, etc.
Just not worth the cost anymore here with the demographic realities hitting. In my personal nabe, it used to be all Irish and no one ever came in. Mothers would be walking up and down the street w strollers all day, old people walking around w/o fear.
Now, a lot of them left , boarded up stores, the thugs from wakefield are making their way over thugging up the joint, people afraid to walk around.
Big rise in car breakins, bank on the corner robbed at gun point twice recently, etc etc.
There is no help for thugs. They are thugs for a reason and will never change. Between food stamps, welfare, section 8, obama phones, etc - these animals just hang out all day, loiter around, are a menace to society, etc.
I just dont even want to look at em any more. sick of seeing them on the bus stop making a ruckus, sick of them harassing the little mexis working at the pizza joing, etc.
The medicaid thugs hang out at the CVS and have thugged that up too. they have to have 2 security guards in the damn CVS!
You think I can change that?
