Squatters, looters overrun Sandy-Ravaged Staten Island

Squatters, looters overrun Sandy-Ravaged Staten Island. In other news, imperious, self-righteous mayor ignores problems he was elected to manage in order to devote his time to stuff that’s none of his effing business.

  • The Mafia is really missing their chance for some good PR. They should send some goombahs over and protect the place.

  • Bloomtard can't be bothered with taking care of the people of his city, he's got shit to ban.

  • Let's keep things in perspective here.

    In my memory, going back to Wagner (before Lindsey), every mayor except for Giuliani, has ignored Staten Island altogether, problems and everything else. I think most of them thought it was part of Jersey (which, culturally, it kind of is).

  • The unarmed citizens of New Dorp, New York are reduced to confronting looters and squatters with sticks, rakes, baseball bats and harsh words. Put guns in the hands of these citizens and the problem would take care of itself.
