Hey Matt,we were furious here with Mayor Bloomberg for trying to go on with this.He had to back down.They would have had to re-deploy thousands of Police Officers from Lower Manhattan and Staten Island for a race..thats out.....they have more important duties..the traffic lights are still out on Staten Island,there is zero gas here.I mean none....NYPD have had to post Police Officers at gas stations Matt,because of the fights breaking out.Its like a movie Matt....
Im fortunate,me and my family are safe..as are most of my good friends...My good friend lost his brother (51),and his son (20) to Sandy... tomorrow night,Im going to the wake.....and I will be at another wake on Wed for a young man (28) that I know who passed.....unreal.....people are at their wit's end.....more bodies were pulled today from South Beach,Staten Island ....
But I will say this Matt..the people I see on the streets here are strong .....and they inspire me each and every day....
