From the realm of “What
the hell could you possibly be thinking” comes this little nugget.
After being pummeled by Hurricane Sandy, with the loss of
life, including a NYPD Officer who died saving his family, mounting and with utter
devastation to countless communities, including over 100 homes destroyed in
Breezy Point, Queens , what does the fearless Mayor of
New York City think is a good idea? If you guessed focusing on rescue and
recovery……….. You’re Wrong!!!!
Nope, to Mayor Mike, what the city really needs to do is
focus on the NYC Marathon.
This blustering bully billionaire once again thinks that he
knows what is best for everyone else. Not that it matters what anyone else
truly thinks, he is going to do what he wants anyway.
So, while many New York City
residents are dealing with power outages, no food, and utter chaos the mayor is
redistributing resources to the NYC Marathon.
Oh and how could the press ever survive without the three massive
generators set up in Central Park to accommodate them? Two
to accommodate the power needs, and a backup in case one of the other two goes
down.
In addition, there are apparently other generators sitting
outside the park that are also not being used. Hundreds of cases of water are
also being brought in for the runners. I wonder if the people in the hardest
hit areas could use some clean water?
Not to mention the redeployment of police officers from the
jobs they need to be doing, to standing foot posts on the marathon route.
Seriously? Under the circumstances, and out of respect for
all of those who lost loved ones and maybe all their earthly possessions,
shouldn’t the marathon have been canceled or at least postponed till the basic
necessities were being provided?
I guarantee you one thing; Mayor Mike has power as do all
his affluent friends.
Is this really what is passing for leadership in this
country?
